Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Washington, DC costs more than 4 times as much as it would cost to simply house every homeless person in the city, according to researcher Hanna Homestead.
the stupid thing is, scandinavia mostly cured their homeless problem. They put up homeless apartment buildings, then assisted them to reintegrate into society, by getting a job, finding a place to live etc. They… saw the humanity and helped them achieve something. Oh, but the USA would never help people down on their luck. Ugh.
Hard disagree. Most of our billionaires will have lived long, happy lives, dying in peace and comfort surrounded by loving family after decades of cruelty. For each of them, it was perfectly sensible.
Billionaires are selfish and whatever cruelty just comes second to that. What we’re seeing with Trump and ICE is cruelty as the main purpose and if we’re using the Nazi’s as the established pattern, we’ll see it end that way as well.
Well, unless climate change cuts it short, which is what I was really getting as with “long run”.
Same as it ever was.
The Cruelty Is The Point.
They’d put all the money in a literal pile and set it on literal fire before they’d just help people who need the help.
If I had to characterize the US govt when it comes to helping its citizens I’d compare it to Immortan Joe.

was joe cruel or stupid? the administration is cruel
Cruelty is inherently stupid in the long run.

Billionaires genuinely do not consider the people beneath them to be anything other than pawns and slaves. They really, REALLY don’t care.
Correct. It’s the definition of cruel.

Hard disagree. The cruelty is the point. They’re spending resources making sure that we suffer when it does nothing to benefit them.
Yep. Cruelty and intimidation.
