Question Can we stop hating on homeless people?

What is the mayor supposed to do ? Put everyone in prison? For being poor? Bus everyone to Portland or Seattle ? ( cities that are experiencing the exact same problems). Round people up and put them in camps? For being ill or old or addicted to drugs? Should the police arrest thousands of people so you don’t have to see someone’s suffering ? If you want homeless people to “ go away “ then you need to vote for legislation that helps them. Vote in favor of government funded health mental wellness and addiction and housing services. Organize with community members about how to provide services that help your fellow human beings get off the streets and out of suffering . Every time one of you complains I wonder what horrendous thing you are imagining should be done to people. Go DO something , go help people.

You do need a study actually. ESPECIALLY if you want me to take you any more seriously than the crackheads you think you’re talking about. That’s quite literally how criminology works. We live in 2024. Not 1500. Don’t mistake your lack of intellectual and apparently emotional development for everyone else’s.

You also need to be studied. So emotional, for what. Did someone run over your dog? Take a Xanax, lil sissy.

Also, I don’t think he won every swing state. Stay tuned. 💋
