The governments of countries that stupidly don't have single payer healthcare and the local governments punishing the unhoused for existing rather than adequately helping them find housing.

Now what misanthropic government would do that? Surely none exist!

And even if they do, they DEFINITELY don't exist sandwiched in between Canada and Mexico!

They help them find housing in other states.

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 10 months ago

No. Forcing them to leave โ‰  helping them in any way and even if it they wanted to, they don't have any say on housing allocation in other states.

Pretty sure you're replying to sarcasm.

Fair enough, my detector must be on the fritz from arguing with ACTUAL idiots too much elsewhere ๐Ÿ˜

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

The government doesn't use tax payer money to fund things. They could pay for both. The money is created out of nowhere by just raising the balance of people they're paying. "We can't afford that" is a fiction.

But if we just increase taxes, they won't use it for more bombs and more raises for themselves, they'll solve all the worlds problems!

Like the second was ever going to happen, even without the first one.

The real second option is "cut taxes for our rich mates".

America once upon a time bombed their own citizens. Seriously.
