Would be nice to see them all organize and descend on Washington, a tent city wave vis a vis the Bonus March in 1932.
I wonder how bad homeless would need to get before major reform. Camps are going to keep popping up until they overwhelm local resources, and then disperse some, a microcosmic cycle of ruralization and urbanization, with greater and greater capacity, and more and more sophisticated systems of public services, trade, and justice, until institutions and policy are replaced by popular demand.
What’s more, increasing poverty and homelessness is a major social, economic, public wellness, and national security issue that, in addition to not going away anytime soon, is something I think most Americans find compassion for, and even demand action on, when it’s face to face, people like themselves.
It’s like, as the oceanliner sinks, and the 99% have to fight for a few life boats and a piece of door, while the 1% fly away on a helicopter, the 99% must realize they were exponentially closer to being in the same boat together than any of them were to being on the helicopter.
So I guess we’ll just die then¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That’s the intended effect here.
Die or leave, either way they can pretend the problem’s been solved
leave to go where?
Someone else’s problem according to them. The NIMBYs can’t be bothered to think about it.

I hear sometimes there’s buses to Martha’s vineyard
interesting 🤔
Jokes aside, I’m talking about this monstrous stunt from DeSantis from a few years ago:

Apparently it wasn’t a bus, my bad.
