Oh no, I didn't mean for my pickpocketing scams with hostile service and aggressive touts to mean that I didn't want to be friends 😢. For sure the US though.

One month before midterms?

I don't know why these are asked in the past tense like I don't still do these things.

Why make an allowance for property managers? Seems like they see a group of people being exploited, and want to find a way to take a cut of that exploitation.

The federal government, as the post suggests? The federal government in the US is doing plenty of law breaking right now, but not in the interest of the unhoused. If this was in their interest though (which given the private holdings of executive, i would doubt), then yes, they could probably accomplish this in one month.

I think because of ex post facto, it would take 2 years at least for the housing problem to be solved in this scenario, and I don't know if handing private assets over to any particular federal government (ahem, US government) would result in the benefit to unhoused people that this comment suggests.

I hope they can see some historic parallels. Shit can get really real in one afternoon.

 

A guy walks up to a street vendor and asks, “What’s on the menu?”

The vedor responds, “We have grilled eel on a stick, and we also have beef offal.”

The guy, trying to be clever, asks, “so, got any grapes?”

“Come on bro”, the vendor responds unimpressed. “Beef or eel.”
