Oh, for fuck's sake. The scarcity is artificial. We are the richest country in the history of the world. We can afford to house people. The scarcity is artificial. We need to start deprioritizing capitalism instead of human rights. The problem is systemic.

No, what makes the programs a target for funding cuts is this neoliberal brainrot, that makes people think human rights are negotiable to the whims of the market. Print more money. Money isn't even real FFS.

Society has made a conscious choice, to allow a couple rich assholes to spend $44 billion on fucking Twitter by not outlawing billionaires, instead of guaranteeing human rights.

The most amazing part to me is, Housing First policies were pioneered by freaking Utah. You're unironically further right wing on housing policy than the goddamn Mormons. This isn't radical stuff. The status quo of unrestricted capitalism is what is radical.

I am really not looking forward to what liberals like you do when the scarcity isn't just make-believe numbers on a computer screen. You're gonna turn to eco-fascism so goddamn fast, I guarantee it.
