Jesus fuckin Christ. Fuck you, you goddam scumbag.
And You. You definitely didn’t read the article. Just the title.
I just didn't read it with the same unjustified credulity which you did.
Based on what exactly? Your feefees? Look at you using descriptive words beyond rage baiting titles on other people and yet somehow you’re above it? I smell bullshit.
Look, asshole, based on my experience living in California. Based on my ability to read newspapers with a critical eye. "Oh, well yes they are going to use police to sweep homeless encampments, but don't worry, it will be paired with housing and supportive services!" Do you know how long it takes to build the kind of infrastructure that second part requires? Newsom can't simply snap housing and rehab slots into existence, but he can snap police raids into existence, so that's what he'll do.
Besides overhauling the economy to better suit everyone, which Newsom has little control over, what other policies and tactics would you like to see used instead?
How about don't crow about abusing the most disadvantaged people in our communities, while pretending you're solving anything?
Certainly you just have more to say on this. There's quite a history of California combating homelessness. What programs and tradeoffs have you seen that you prefer? There is diversity within the homeless community. How did you like to see the different groups managed?
California has a history of combating homeless people, you mean? I want all the diverse groups of people "managed" with compassion. I have worked with homeless people in California! I can tell you that what never helps anything, is having the cops come force people to move and abandon their meagre belongings. It is a fascist impulse to sic the cops on homeless people. Not only is it cruel, but it is also pointless. The cops that have to do it don't even believe it helps anything. They just shuffle them around from place to place.
