People get mad when things make them feel bad. They don't want to fix anything they just don't want to feel bad.

Was looking for a rental apartment in Denver. The amount of reviews on buildings complaining about homelessness is super uncomfortable.

“I’m privileged enough that I shouldn’t have to see poverty” was a new one for me.

I saw the same in the bay area.

There was even one asshole reviewer that said they started wrapping their baby's diapers soiled-side out and tossing them straight in the dumpster just because some people would go through the trash looking for recycling.

This makes me feel bad. We should dip those people in mud. See how they like it.

Bumfights, but it's rich people fighting instead of homeless people. Also it's a cage match, they aren't volunteering, and it's to the death.

This makes me feel bad.

Exactly. It all just creates more "feeling bad".

You could monetize doing that. But then you wouldn’t be homeless anymore. You’d be an eNtRePrEnEuR.

Gotta pick and choose your battles though

Anything but housing the house-less

Treating the disease rather than the symptoms is better.

"Not that pesky compassion again! Need to get this done by tomorrow."
