Not to mention crashing at high speeds into trees and shit with only a helmet vs being completely covered with padding

Yeah, without giving demographic information, the comparisons are worthless.

Actually, both are true. There's not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it's such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There's no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I'm not disparaging the people who can't spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.

Tomorrow is fascism, so it super doesn't matter.

What? Why would the SC care about looking corrupt? They're clearly not hiding it anymore.

Do they think Putin cares?

They didn't have a pediatric orthopedist there, and for some reason that was necessary for a broken arm.

Yeah, adhd is the only reason I have any debt at all.

I kinda want to start a company that will manage money for people like me who struggle with keeping up with such things.

With global warming, it's about to be prime real-estate.

A lot of us tried, but we were outnumbered.

Greenland has oil, and it'll be prime real-estate in a decade or two once the equatorial regions are inhospitable.
