My FIL is visiting us in Seattle (where he lived most of his life), and he rightfully pointed out that many of the folks living in tents now would’ve been living in flophouses (SROs) and dilapidated rental homes 20-30 years ago.
If homeless shelters were broadly built and people had a place to sleep at night, the ‘street homeless’ (I don’t know the PC term) issues would be improved and people wouldn’t congregate around the few crowded homeless shelters in the city

The moment the union movement started gaining power Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk stopped pretending to be liberals and moved right at light speed. What they're showing us is that fascism is what happens when capitalism goes into decline and tries to defend itself.
