[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city gives homeless free housing, sometimes apartments that are better than residents can afford. Free healthcare. Free food, free hygiene products. On top of the free food given out by city centers and numerous food kitchens, they additionally get free food from SNAP. Lots of places have free clothing (just about every free donation bin I’ve seen is stuffed). Lots of additional services on top of this.

Over the past decade D.C. has done all the things that people told us would fix the problem, things have just gotten worse, and the people who have been completely wrong in the past act like machines that are stuck in a loop. “These people are starving to death! We need to double the amount we give them!” “We’ve tried that and things have just gotten worse, what do we do now?” “These people are starving to death! We need to double the amount we give them!”

Facts don’t matter to these people, there’s no use arguing with them. It doesn’t matter how many times their policies completely fail, the answer is always that we need to double the amount of failed policies. They care more about virtue signalling than solutions, which is why they like the idea of publicly handing out money, even though that doesn’t solve anything and is much worse for everyone than just giving that money to a charity.[/quote]

You think you know a lot more than you actually do.  Try having a little humility and learning before opening your mouth.  It's hard to take you seriously when you have such shallow understanding.[/quote]
