How does telling you the truth about the homeless population benefit me in any way, shape, or form?
You haven’t passed the bar to call me “selfish”. Sure, I might be an asshole, but this isn’t one of those times either. The reality is that we can’t help everyone, and some people aren’t saveable. You can’t point to Sweden or Finland as answers either, because they have the highest per-capita drug deaths of other euro nations.
The ol’ we can’t save everyone so why save anyone argument
It’s obvious reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. You must have missed the point where I said housing should first go to people without these deficits. You know…like 6 posts ago…
You’ve sat there and put words in my mouth, made strawman arguments, ad hominem attacks against me…
Do you know how to debate a point at all? Because you’re failing at every step of the way…
You can’t point to Sweden or Finland because the rest of Europe is doing much better - by giving people proper psychological help, committing them when needed, and jailing them otherwise.
My argument is for committing these people to asylums and getting all of America the proper psychological and medical help they need, which puts people in these positions.
My position has never been “oh we can’t help them all so why even try”…that’s your misconception. And it’s your own fault you don’t understand the argument.

Also, since we’re talking about drug deaths do you know what county has the highest IN THE WORLD?
The United States, so yeah if we can copy Finland’s homework and reduce our homeless by 435k, why wouldn’t we?
Oh that’s right the guy on the Internet gate keeping who can call him a selfish asshole says it might not work.
P.S. Finland had 253 people die of drug overdoses in 2023 with a population of 5.5 million.
(4.6 deaths per 100,000 people)
The US had 105,000 people die of drug overdoses in 2023 with a population of 335 million.
(31.3 deaths per 100,000 people)

Dis you? Are you the 10 second Tom from 50 first dates that just forgets shit as soon as he clicks post? Lol.
I’m quoting you and you’re calling it a straw man?
You’re tripping over yourself to play the victim. Just go back under the bridge you troll.
