It's wild that in the richest country in the world, every winter, we have to scramble to make sure people don't freeze to death when they sleep outside. And still, we know many will die.
Instead, we could solve homelessness with housing and support.
Boggles my mind every year.

You’ve maybe seen me say before that it is police and their racketeering enterprise which actually run cities. Now you’ll apparently be able to read a book about it.
If you'd like to read more about this very point—how police veto elected officials' decisions—I've written a whole book on the topic, called Blue Power! It's now available for preorder from @BasicBooks, 20% discount with the code BLUE20. hachettebookgroup.com/titles…
ALT Cover of Blue Power: How Police Organized to Protect and Serve Themselves, with blue and red letters and police walking away from viewer in formation

Also, the entire power dynamic has flipped where legislators of a representative government feel no need to actually represent the people that voted for them.
We’re basically voting in politicians so they can then make millions from billionaires.

A woman living on the streets asked us for a wheelchair today.
The city has a program, but they will only give her one a year.
But the city fully funds the police and + sanitation that throw away all of her belongings every week.
It's all so stupidly cruel.

Yes, a cashier at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That's what jobs are for.

I have. I've met people with down syndrome, cancer, MS, alzheimers, paraplegics - all living on the streets.
They die.
Very soon after they stop being able to access medical care, people with disabilities on the streets just die.

you’re spreading fucking eugenics
I don’t disagree with your take here but in the grand scheme of things I was just such a minuscule player and the rulers of our world are the ones who have to make the change
Maybe I’m so frustrated because even for me I feel powerless in helping people
But the difference is I was a 16 year old kid trying to make money for my family after seeing my dad lose it all - I became addicted to making money so I wouldn’t see him cry like that
I wasn’t wise enough to see my impact on a grand scale etc.
I’d leave that to 50-60 year olds
The only thing that helped me awake was psychedelics
I too have been apart of the problem and I too wasn’t “smart” or awake at that point
It took a lot of work to change into who I am
But now
You people think I sit here and tweet from a perfect place. That’s not it.
I just see the biggest problem we face and am passionate about changing it. Maybe you can understand me more with saying that?

You don't want to see the homeless in your communities, but also you don't want them to be housed. There's a word for what you are.

This person nailed it (sadly)
Everyone did play a numbers game. They decided their personal risk was low, and therefore stopped masking
They don’t care about the elderly or disabled, because caring about them means having to sacrifice a small amount of personal comfort 🧵

Most leftist anti-maskers think they are annoyed by the masking-left but actually are mad at material reality. I also wish it wasn't airborne, there wasn't asymptomatic spread, and that vaccines offered sufficient prevention of transmission. But wishing that doesn't make it so.

It's an absolutely brutal time to be even remotely intelligent, isn't it?
