They keep on finding that leaving homeless people on the street is more expensive than just giving them housing, or in this case, money.

Never let your political leadership deny that homelessness is a policy choice, not a fact of life or an unchangeable reality.

@LuciferMorningstar The reason that the homeless are left without support has nothing to do with the efficacy of supporting them, and everything to do with maintaining control over the worker classes by giving them something to fear.

When you stop fearing homelessness, the capitalists lose the power to leverage that fear to exploit you. Thus the cruelty is necessary to maintain that power, and the dehumanization of the homeless is necessary to allow that cruelty.

To not give in to apathy or contempt is a choice that we all have the power to make.
