  • Newsom launches statewide task force to clear homeless encampments

    Jump

  • You might have read my comment that way but you also read it as me speaking for all homeless people for some reason.

    There is a risk of using already limited funds for housing projects that pay out to contractors/land developers (profiting off social programs) without having enough to go towards other issues facing unhoused people. The solution is more complex than simply "build more homes" which is what the original message I responded to was intimating.

    All people deserve safe, stable living environments, some just choose to forgo those for reasons people seem unwilling to acknowledge.

  • My comments have been removed for some reason but I started the first one with "I can't speak for all unhoused people but there are some."

    Not sure how you could read that as me speaking for all homeless people. I've lived in all kinds of situations with all kinds of people. I've known some who flat out reject being involved in programs designed to help them, preferring to go it alone. Yes, giving up access to safe shelters and other resources. I'm not saying they deserve to go without help or that they should be rounded up and placed in camps. I'm saying understanding their choices can be complex and requires more than just access to shelters or housing.

  • Not what I said

  • "but that’s because the shelters imposed conditions that were unacceptable to them."

    There are people for whom conditions are not acceptable. I'm not saying they shouldn't have access to a safe place to live.

  • "Chronically homeless tend to have multiple issues that make serving them a challenge, but targeted support programs have been shown to make significant inroads even there."

    That was the point I was making. It's not just lack of housing.

  • Trump says Putin agrees with him US should not have mail-in voting

  • Why would Putin get a red carpet treatment from the US in the first place? Putin and Trump announced to the world they are now allies.

  • The US declared on Friday that they were now allied with Russia and the response from the media was that Trump appeared "weak". We can't even acknowledge reality.

  • Trump tells Zelenskiy that Putin wants more of Ukraine, urges Kyiv make a deal

    Jump

  • Did he say it like "Boy, that Putin sure is looking to try for more of your country. But don't worry, we got your back like we promised on condition of you giving up your nukes back in the day."

    Or was it more like "Putin wants more of your land and you should give it to him because we're no longer holding up our end of the agreement."

    Cause there is an important distinction between the two.

  • DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES: Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.

    Jump

  • Not sure if Biden/dems have given a reason yet. I believe, typically, the official reason they keep this files secret is they may still intend to take legal action in the future.

    Unofficially, Biden's AG Merrick Garland really did not go hard against Trump. They let him get away with an attempted coup, not sure if that was at Biden's request or if Garland persuaded him not to.

    Farfetched theory on my part but Biden really tried not to stir the waters, I feel, to avoid a civil war.

  • They think the Epstein thing might actually stick this time. They're trying to use that as best they can. Any party would do that

    It might be a strong move for once though. Time will tell.

    He said this during covid. This was his logic. I don't think he's gotten smarter since the last time. Not sure his handlers are much smarter themselves.
