Woof, so many comments that have me feeling ways, but I don't want to deal with the hackery of replying to them all in one post.
1. To the people claiming homelessness is simply an issue of having a home - have you ever actually worked with the impoverished? Actually dealt with their literal insanity or their addictions? Addicts and the insane aren't reasonable people. What about the truly bad apples, I've met more than a few homeless POS's who would still be POS's with a home.
I did a decent amount of research into the Seattle homeless issue, and the shocking thing I found was the majority, like 3/4s of the homeless had been on the streets for a decade or more. Sometimes it's a choice, however bad the logic is.
2. I agree that existence is a right, I don't agree that people should get the benefits of society without any of the cost, and that includes me paying your rent. I worked 80-90 hours a week for 5 years to pull myself out of poverty and now that I'm here I'm supposed to feel shame? Nahhh
Ugg, I hate topics like this because I have so many feels but can never articulate them without sounding like a scrouge. 3. I just think it's fairly ignorant to look at Horseman and call him a racist who hates the homeless just because he's gone real estate bro. Dudes just making cash - be mad at the ***** negotiating your deals.
What's the alternative to the current real estate market? Everyone gets a free house? What about on the beachfront, who decides who gets those houses? What about repairs, that free too?
1. i've met more rich assholes than homeless assholes, by far. and surprisingly, not all homeless people are fucking addicts. a large group, i'd even say the majority of homeless people are not homeless by choice. obviously addicts are hard to work with but rich addicts are just as hard if not harder to work with too, with the only difference being that they're rich. there's tons of insane rich people and just because they're rich they're even harder to stop, especially in the fucking usa, which i believe to be one of the worst countries in the world to live in. but i kinda understand your thinking, i mean why the fuck someone that doesn't work 80-90 hours a week should be able to live a life that isn't completely shitty when you have to pay doctors thousands of dollars just because you broke your wrist and struggle to pay rent? i was being sarcastic with that last sentence btw
2. you pay taxes just like everybody else, but the thing is that the government of the usa doesn't use tax money to increase the standard of living, they use it to become rich themselves without doing all that much. the fact you had to work 80-90 hours a week to pull yourself out of poverty is sad, NO ONE should have to do that. it's inhumane to force people to work that much. no, you shouldn't be ashamed of that, but you're obviously jaded because of that situation and what you went through. would it really hurt you to learn that somebody is able to get off the streets because you paid your taxes? i'd personally be happy about that. i see that you think most homeless people are leeches or something but i'm sure that a lot of them would actually be grateful and they would at least try to find a job and support themselves.
3. read the subject of the thread again. there's proof that mikey has connections with evil people. being a real estate bro is a bad thing in itself, but the fact that he's working with these kinds of people makes things much much worse. btw housing should be a right, not a fucking luxury.
