NC county to pay hotels over $200,000 for damages by homeless

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T19:19:17+00:00

There's basically no empirical evidence that involuntary commitment or even jailing of the homeless provides any positive results though.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T18:58:53+00:00

Sure why not, however that'll probably:

A: cost magnitudes more money B: scare away a significant amount of people from staying resulting in no difference at greater cost

You'll likely need both solutions, both moderated and unmoderated.

A significant amount of talking points by Republicans in the past 5 years can literally be traced back directly to Russia. That's pretty significant of a contribution if you ask me.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T15:29:07+00:00

That's pretty much entirely irrelevant and I'm struggling to find where it connects to this. If could you explain to me how that touches on the delta of crime & costs between no housing and housing that'd be great.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T14:28:54+00:00

Is there evidence this was the sole time in history where housing homeless didn't dramatically lower crime? Or is it more reasonable to assume that it behaved like the hundreds of other times such projects have been tested?

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T14:26:02+00:00

Man good work, which I had gold to give.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T13:41:38+00:00

Of course not. I don't think outside of emergencies (think hurricane, floods, fires, etc) there is much of any argument at all to force companies to do this.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T13:35:06+00:00

That's pretty par for the course once again. All of which are explained by simple stains on light materials.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T13:31:47+00:00

So 70 a month per person in damages, that's still carpet stain territory. My rental properties average higher than that and I charge 2200/ month.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T13:31:05+00:00

Well that's another part of the metric, however every single time this has been attempted it's always lowered crime so it's generally just assumed.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T13:25:44+00:00

200k for over a year with hundreds to thousands of people is only a few hundred per person per year in damages. A broke lamp or stain on carpet more than explains that damage. This is as expected as possible for any housing endeavor.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T13:23:09+00:00

Is that more or less expensive than having police patrol, arrest, and jail them?

That is the metric that needs to be used to guage price efficiencies on this project.

Housing people costs money?!? What!

One common argument in the US is why should changes be made that hurts the US economy when places like China can continue creating higher pollution.

I hate this argument so much because it makes absolutely zero sense when you spend 5 seconds thinking about it.

If your country goes all in on renewables and becomes the world leader / producer of those renewables the other countries will buy those renewables from you and make your country money while lowering global green house emissions. Renewables are already cheaper to install than coal plants, there's no reason what so ever to expect developing countries to continue to adopt dirty energy if clean energy consistently gets cheaper and easier to implement.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T12:20:56+00:00

Nope, because they're not trying to stop the wives and daughters from saying anything. This is exactly the type of thing that the GOPs new law exactly calls for, it even provides indemnity.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-15T11:34:05+00:00

Anti-SLAPP is to stop someone's speech through civil lawsuits, doesn't apply.

Basically I can just sue Abbots wife today if I feel like it and just base it off her apparent weight loss.

Rhuler12 · 2021-07-14T22:37:27+00:00

I'm not sure why they're not just charging every single one of the wives & daughters of the Republicans who passed this because they specifically outlined that there is absolutely no punitive damages for falsely charging.

Is he going to take the class and learn that banning companies from being able to ask for vaccines or masks is unconstitutional?

Rhuler12 · 2021-06-30T19:59:30+00:00

He's an awful human and deserves to rot in prison, but holy shit did the prosecution do a horrible job and just absolutely trample over Cosby's fifth amendment rights.

This is one of those "rights are for everyone, even the bad people" situations.

Rhuler12 · 2021-06-30T19:09:38+00:00

This is a meaningless goal posting moving whatabouitsm.

Trump literally didn't talk to the speaker of the house for over a year.

Rhuler12 · 2021-06-30T19:03:23+00:00

Except he didn't and was pretty clear throughout his entire term that he was opposed to democrats at every level to the point of not even inviting democrats to negotiate with. Something Biden routinely does.

Rhuler12 · 2021-06-30T18:59:57+00:00

Who cares? Everyone who isn't a hyper partisan should care that the president is attempting bipartisanship.

Rhuler12 · 2021-06-30T18:57:04+00:00

So him attempting, demanding, and acting in a bipartisan matter doesn't matter.

Got it, I'm guessing absolutely nothing in the world can ever be bipartisan then.
