They forgot it was fiction and the author pulled herself up by the American taxpayer's bootstraps, but she was entitled because the Soviets took--not her business, no--her parent's business. What's a poor pseudointellectual middle class layabout supposed to do with herself? Get a job?! Ke xiao.
Multi-billionaire talks to near billionaire about how poor people are just lazy and should pull themselves up by the bootstraps. They sure aren’t learning the lessons of history. One would think that if they actually were as smart as they think they are, they’d be able to draw some parallels from history, a minimum just out of self preservation. But greed is blinding, I guess.
The problem with homelessness and food insecurity is that everyone agrees they are problems, but effectively no one actually wants to solve them.
They are very different but one thing that is the same is food stability or housing is you can get the cycle self-reproducing, but then an emergency happens, it breaks and it needs attention again. This is why some sort of structure/institution/ngo is needed. And so smart people look at this and say why do people become homeless or become food unstable… and you start talking about underemployment, wage theft, underinvestment in critical infrastructure etc. and no one wants to address those, not nationally anyway.
But the most important thing, about both of these phenomena, and about our responses to them, is once you hit the threshold of you are on an NGO’s map, you are already a policy failure at a societal level: because night on the streets or even a small period of time food insecure it very deleterious for long term health and wellbeing.
So you take a teenager, and their step-dad kicks them out, even 1 night on the street makes them far far more likely to become homeless again, their risk of criminal activity increases, their physical and mental health long term outcomes go in the toilet… and so how do you build a system where even 1 night on the streets is considered an emergency? People are working on it, but it’s hard.
There is similar points about short term food insecurity
We need to have honest conversations about problems in our society, because if the right has shown us anything in the past 10 years, it’s that they will talk about problems, and they will twist it to their advantage, without actually addressing the issue.
“And it’s a misnomer because if you have a government-funded non-governmental organisation, you’re simply a government-funded organization. It’s an oxymoron.”
And he is a COMMON MORON.
Homeless housing projects around the world have shown that people can and will get back on their feet and be good worker like any other. Naturally, a fascist billionaire doesn't care - neither about people in need NOR the "money wasted" ... MR DOGE failure.
The sheer stupidity he displays every time he opens his mouth is astounding.
This idiot. This complete waste of genetic material, a person I am scared to ask if he can walk and breathe at the same time, is the richest fucking man on this planet.
"Motherf**ker, I wish I could say I'd hope you'd die poor, but it's one of God's best jokes that you are filthy rich, except that's on ALL OF US!"
He and Trump have the same OS. It’s like they are poorly written NPC bosses at this point. And anything to make them sound less like the bbg (end bosses)

The intellectual shallowness of these guys truly is incredible when you consider the amount of resources that society allows them to have
I think the culture of disruption makes some get stuck in contrarian bias
Where they look at something and think, what if it was that, but opposite somehow
Success in one area makes them think every though is the right thing
Edit: bit like Graham Linehan too
He was a big force in campaigning to gett abortion decriminalised in Ireland
Unfortunately he's concluded that he should then campaign for all of his beliefs, that he's an agent of social progress
Even more unfortunately, he hates transgender people for some reason so it campaigning against them, destroying his career and losing his family
If only someone could get through that he's not a martyr protecting for the right thing in every case, this time he's just a vocal bigot
It's crazy that they're never asked to provide any data to back up their claims. I want to hear why he thinks this.
It's like you can just read "Atlas Shrugged " and just assert this nonsense with confidence, and zero pushback.

Don't forget the world class education she was provided for free by those pinko bastards. I imagine that was a big help with her career.

He said unalived so many people with immediate USAID shutdown I swear no one in the US even cares.
This is guy is so fkin DUMB
He’s walking proof that even the dumbest assholes can become successful if daddy throws enough money at them
Well at least he didn't blab about "suicidal empathy" this time around. Explicitly anyway,
Clearly it is easier to blow smoke about robots and money for everybody than to actually help destitute people.

How much money does this guy siphon off of taxpayers!?
Heartless, brainless, gutless, no wizard can save this piece of shite.
Ego/Brains >> 1 is one of the world’s biggest problems
and you're the best proof of it
Elon Munsk is a mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging halfwit.
So. Musk worrying his SpaceX isn't receiving enough tax money grants for exploding rocket research...
It’s incredible how each thing he says is dumber than the last thing he said
It is mathematically fascinating

And this from a neo nazi that was driven to school in a Bentley by a chauffeur as a child
What do corporate subsidies and military contracts incentivize?
He's such a goddamn moron. Only a billionaire could be that blatantly, ignorantly wrong on something that's not all that difficult to understand.
I’m making the case that Elon is a racist idiot who never knows what he’s talking about. As usual.
Elon Musk is a ketamine fuelled fool
A clock is right twice a day. George HW Bush’s thousand points of lights project has been a failure.
That was HW (Bush père)
My bad it has been such a train wreck thought it was Ws.
