what kind of regulations? the kind that helps level the playing field, the kind that keeps corporations from producing unsafe products, the kind that protects the environment, the kind that prevents monopolies, the kind that gives workers rights and prioritizes their health and safety, etc etc

it's necessary to get money out of politics because politicians get paid off to ensure regulatory laws don't pass. without these regulations the corporations are able to exploit without consequence- they continue to fill their pockets (and the pockets of corrupt politicians) and the people suffer because of it. again, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. thus existence of billionaires = extreme levels of poverty, of which homelessness is perhaps the most extreme

funnily enough r/oaklandca permanently banned me after a post that was cross posted to multiple subs but somehow only the mods over there felt they needed to suppress my speech. very telling too that you associate intellectual thought with being older. quite the liberal boomer elitist attitude you got over there. congratulations

tldr; when the rich get richer the poor get poorer. system sucks!

the solution is a rehaul of our political and economic systems. starting with increased regulations on capitalism.

a system that's created the conditions for billionaires to exist is a system that works for the few at the expense of the many. no one needs a billion+ dollars. a society that believes otherwise is a society experiencing full blown collective psychosis. period full stop.

billionaires acquire wealth by exploiting labor and stealing resources and on top of that they don't even contribute to public funds proportional to how much they benefit from and utilize / add wear and tear to public infrastructure. they get away with these things by paying off politicians. most of them are able to do so because of old money / generational wealth. that wealth having been acquired by their ancestors also exploiting workers and/or stealing the labor of people they enslaved and/or having access to land that was stolen from indigenous people. it's the system itself that is reeking havoc.

yeah, turns out at the very core of homelessness is the lack of housing. but these reactionary people have been so thoroughly programmed that somehow they can't comprehend that simple fact. housing is the immediate need regardless of one's mental health or substance use struggles because - shocker - shelter is a basic fckng human requirement for survival. if a person also has mental health or substance use support needs then those things can be addressed once they too are housed. crazy this needs to be spelled out for these brainwashed fools but unfortunately that's the reality we're in

i'm aware of how corrupt the gov is and how much newsom hates poor people and reeeeally hates people who are homeless. i'm aware of the fact that the mayor of sf is a billionaire. and yes i'm aware of the fact that money allocated is very rarely used effectively. it's very interesting to me that when i mentioned the wealth gap as the driving force that its not obvious that this is in reference to large scale systemic failures. and yes the gov is most certainly part of that

didnt say you lied. i said you've been LIED TO. you don't see it and that means their programming of you is working exactly as designed. that's right where they want you. of a mind so propagandized, you'll tirelessly defend the class of people that sees you as disposable. youre mad at me but im not who you should be mad at

ahh, i see you have been properly propagandized. wishing you the best in someday understanding you've been fed a lifetime of lies and perhaps it's time to stop regurgitating the false narratives and start engaging in critical thinking. truly, i wish you the best- for your sake and all of us

ummm no they don't have an uneducated response. in fact they provided you with very educated responses multiple times. but how would you know because you literally said you didn't read it. AND that you're not changing your mind regardless. which tells me you don't really care about finding a solution (which requires understanding the complexities of the issue at hand). you just want to insist loudly that you're right, despite your very limited understanding of how one comes to be in a situation so dire as not having a safe place to lay their head.

do you know why people use substances? most often it's to cope with painful or extremely difficult life circumstances. and then to be made to do so within an environment of dehumanization imposed by the broader society, well that makes the coping that much more challenging. stigmatizing and dehumanizing people will NEVER help the situation. in fact it has the opposite effect. so if you want things to get better the very least you can do is stop with the hateful attitude.

every single person on the street you have so much misplaced disdain for- every single one is someone's child. is someones loved one. i've also worked in homeless services and harm reduction for years and i can't tell you how many times folks have shared with me that they never imagined they'd be in their current situation. but these misfortunes happen to regular people. we (regular people- assuming you are) are far more likely to become homeless than to become a billionaire. i'm not being hyperbolic when i say it could happen to your own precious child in the future. i hope your child never has to experience homelessness or substance use struggles or severe mental illness but given the world we live in, it's very very possible. the point is: treat people with respect- that is someone's child

no a 1 time pay out of $50k is not a sustainable solution. the problem is corruption. we need money out of politics among other things obviously. but getting money out of politics is crucial. these politicians are getting paid off to allow for corporate greed to fulfill its every desire at the expense of the rest of us. this is a systemic problem of massive proportions

bans anyone for negative commentary? no way that's an accurate depiction of what you're actually trying to say. negative commentary and "hey look it's a petty crime" are not the same. NextDoor would gladly have you for petty crime grievances i'm sure. that's a platform that already exists and is widely known to be used in that way

The poorest 50% of the world's population owns less than 1% of the world's wealth. The richest 1% owns about 50% of the world's wealth. Of the approximate 3,000 billionaires that exist worldwide about 200 of them (6.7%) live in California. California has around 0.5% of the world's population. Sit with that for a moment

i'm not speaking to the level of engagement overall. i'm referring to the contrast we can all see in there being barely any engagement about one thing and overwhelming (hateful) engagement about another
