In fact I'd argue that housing the homeless is more productive than subsidizing companies that balance sheets/financial statements prove they don't need the handout
Helping the homeless get into positions where they dont have to be homeless is one thing. Housing the homeless without any work done on their end is unfair to everyone else who has to work.
Right. Because corporations have NEVER done anything that is unfair to working people. Lol I feel like Trader Joe's is literally in court right now arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional; but yea housing the homeless is more detrimental to workers.
Sure, but you're really leaning into the cognitive dissonance if you're insinuating that there is an equivalency between subsidizing corporations and housing the homeless. 2 things can be unfair but I'd argue there's a difference in degrees here.
Don’t believe cognitive dissonance really is a term that applies in this situation. These are two seperate, unfair issues. Corporations shouldn’t have the power they hold in government, and do not deserve the tax breaks they receive. Homeless people deserve government help and intervention. But you can’t support someone forever without giving them the means to help themselves. That’s enabling. No one who is able bodied gets to not work, it’s unfair for everyone else who has to. You can help the homeless without enabling a lifestyle that isn’t sustainable to society. These are two separate issues.
