Orphan Crushing Machine

A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

More colleges are looking at emergency housing solutions, including have students sleeping in alumni’s homes, napping pods, Airbnbs and even an assisted living facility.

And im hardly shocked at the idea that you of all people want to put further hardships on the poor and disenfranchised.

Ah yes, praise the orphan crushing machine! Papa Stalin would be proud of you njm.

Normalise sleeping in a bloody bed in a house, the poor and disenfranchised deserve more than sleeping in a car you reactionary contrarian dreg.

And the best way to put them in those beds in a house is to continue making homelessness illegal? That's interesting. Wouldn't want them being an eyesore though right? You and Gavin Newsome can't wait to sweep them all up? What kind of beds are you thinking about here exactly? Prison beds? Forced labor?

You're arguing a strawman.

No where in here is anyone talking about making homelessness illegal. Stop being dishonest.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You are literally here arguing that allowing people to sleep in their cars shouldn't be allowed.
