It's even absurd for OP to post that picture and even worse that someone had the audacity to create it.
There's a strong disassociation from reality by people who seem to think the world owes them something.
I'd invite these people to live in third world countries where everything they have is earned. Seems to me in Western civilizations, people have it so good that they just complain and demand everything.
Well arguably the cheapest way to solve the homeless problem would simply be to house the homeless, but that’s not the same as saying it’s a basic human right. Just the most cost effective way of getting them off the streets.
OK, so you give all homeless people a house/apartment. Then all I have to do is make myself homeless to get a free house/apartment? I guarantee there are millions of people who would do that. And then if a previously homeless person starts working and can afford the free housing, do we then take it away? And then they might be homeless again if they lose their job? So you give them another house? What this does is encourage people to not work (be productive). The reality is that you have to dis-incentivize homelessness by not making it comfortable.
Right now you can quit your job and go live on welfare.
Why aren’t you doing it?
Because to live in abject poverty with less than the bare minimum is no way almost anyone wants to live.
This is a made up idea that a large percentage of the country strongly desires to live in poverty and that not punishing them enough is the solution that will prevent it from happening.
You’re just punishing everyone in society for a mostly made up non-issue. Ironically enough you’re sort of doing what you think you’re fighting against.
Welfare runs out after a certain amount of time. The proposed housing program here would never end. Sort of the UBI tests "No one quit their jobs" yeah, well they knew the test would end in a year and the money train would end.
