Same as it ever was.
The Cruelty Is The Point.
They’d put all the money in a literal pile and set it on literal fire before they’d just help people who need the help.
If I had to characterize the US govt when it comes to helping its citizens I’d compare it to Immortan Joe.
Immortan Joe: Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!
the stupid thing is, scandinavia mostly cured their homeless problem. They put up homeless apartment buildings, then assisted them to reintegrate into society, by getting a job, finding a place to live etc. They… saw the humanity and helped them achieve something. Oh, but the USA would never help people down on their luck. Ugh.
It’s never about the cost. It’s always about the hate.
And fear
Breaking news Trump is a moron
He is, but his puppeteers aren’t, they are evil and played the long game.
Who are his puppeteers?
Heritage Foundation
The man is world famous as a money mismanager
Eric Adams Syndrome: Spend $1,500 to save $1
Look up how much we send to Israel to conduct a genocide
Cruelty is the point. I really don’t think this country will ever change in any positive direction, sadly.
The point is to 'test run" military protection around the White House.
This. They know that none of this is sustainable on a the grand scale.
It worse than the country won’t change - it’s humanity that won’t change.
Sure but helping the homeless would make them actual Christians following the teachings of Christ and we know that now what Republican Christians do.
Trump only ever claimed to be Christian to sell bibles.
With his name plastered all over it, probably. Because T stands for tacky, not trump.
TRUMP BIBLE, TRUMP BIBLE! GET YOUR TRUMP BIBLE. ORDER NOW AND WELL THROW IN A TRUMP 2028 HAT!
I wonder if he’s gonna update the included constitution in the bible with the newly redacted rights
Entirely unsurprising. But invading a blue city is the kind of thing that gives those with the authoritarian mental illness rock-hard erections.
Helping people? Fuck that noise. We want to brandish our penis compensation devices and bust some heads! Time to own the libz!
Kind of like the new ICE budget. I remember seeing a tweet from some right wing lunatic saying they didn’t care if it costs a trillion dollars, deport every single undocumented immigrant. They’ve always had an endless budget for things like war and terror.
People say these facts, but not the base fact that all these facts prove which is that this lifestyle and the narrative created is completely bullshit and we are being farmed. That’s our reality but it’s so fucked up nobody wants to believe it. Psychological warfare owns the path of society.
What is actually happening to homeless people in DC at the moment?
The article is a bit vague. Some arrests, tickets?
I imagine far worse when the national guard is being called to specifically address this issue. Overall I am hearing little about the fate of the ones being targeted by the grey shirts. Does anyone have more info for an interested party?
I just hope that in this age of great information we’ll be able to find out before the collapse of the regime.
What a waste.
countless after countless studies showed UBI will eliminate homelessness and wasteful bureaucracy to keep watch of welfare recipients and cheats
Everyone: Nah, we don’t do that here.
How else are you going to keep everyone else in line if the fear of being homeless isn’t hanging over their heads?
Rich people in control of the city, it’s businesses and services: nah, we don’t do that here.

I think the top 2 comments i see ascribing this to ‘hate’ and ‘cruelty’ are missing the point. This literally is better for the capitalists’ bottom line. This can be entirely attributed to profit. The threat of violence (homelessness, etc) that the working class is kept precipitously close to powers this whole machine. If everybody was housed the threat of poverty would have less material consequence. Cruelty is not the point, in this case. Neither hate. Simply profit. Which in many ways is much more cold and insidious
