Homelessness and addiction arent inherently bad themselves but the most arent “criminals” simply because of this fact alone. Not saying that this population should not be helped, they should, or in your words criminalized, but this population shouldn’t grow unchecked or be incentivized with checks and homes
No. Understand what i’m saying. Those who burn all loose ends and become homeless do not justify taking from those who are successful, with the threat of violence, and hoping the *government* solves the problem. Go ahead. Offer the homeless man or addicted man off the street your home. But dont enforce that on the masses in yhe name of sOciAL jUsTiCe
What is empathy - to you? This question has a different answer for all and, therefore, does not require a one-sized fit all solution. You understand that when these services are offered they’re abused - not at the expense of just the homeless, but the average taxpayer - those who are good. So do not subject them to the default state of humanity for the past 20000 years - homeless, broke, and hunting for food and pleasure.
What is an addict who gets food and a bed incentived to do other than… the same unfortunate thing? You lack the empathy to expect more from humans other then the default state. This is an issue separate from those who enrich themselves of taxes - though you’d be surprised at who does that more than dems. those states who have the highest minimum wage, most rent control, and wealth redistribution.
