I'm not being a dick, no idea why you're being a dick and shitting on my job. And I was very clear I was playing devil's advocate. That's just you, I guess.
You know what.
Yea but be clear about what it is you’re trying to play devils advocate about
When given $750 with no strings, most homeless ppl find housing
What is so hard for you to understand?
It’s a bummer there’s no pop demography of the homeless bc who these folks are would blow y’all’s fuckin minds
I was very, very clearly contrasting the study with the rise in homelessness that was contemporaneous with the end of COVID payments. I'm not sure why that was so hard for you to understand, but the point I was devil's advocating for was a conservative argument that these benefits/payments would have to be permanent to be effective, given the rise in homelessness attributable to the temporary COVID benefits stopping. Since you know the study, maybe you can share if the conclusion is that such payments need to be permanent to be permanently effective.When given $750 with no strings, most homeless ppl find housing

I never said anything about homeless people not having jobs.
Ok. Well it is now.Your argument wasn’t obvious at all.
Ooh fun playing Devil’s advocate to a study you’re not even willing to read yourselfI was very, very clearly contrasting the study with the rise in homelessness that was contemporaneous with the end of COVID payments.

Man, I was just posting a quick comment in a chat thread. Now I've got to pay for the LA times and read an entire study before I can post here, or someone will shit on my job. You guys are pricks.Ooh fun playing Devil’s advocate to a study you’re not even willing to read yourself
lol?I worked 12 hour shifts for years.
Brought a bag lunch every day.
I worked at Chick-fil-A in the Bush years. Only the fattest rednecks did this shit.It's not even the combo plus dessert, it is that no teenager is getting full from just a combo meal. Gotta go combo meal plus additional sandwich or nuggets for either the active kid or a I would assume a fat kid. That additional filler is what the $.99 fast food menus used to be for. But gone are the days. Thanks Biden.
I mean I guess, but in reality a way higher than 12% of homeless people are addicted to opiates. I find it almost impossible to believe that 750 dollars a month can get you clean from that kind of addiction. So the study probably focused on people without strong substance abuse issues, in which case I believe it was probably the most effective means of rehabilitation. I don’t expect it to work on scale tho.Tells you how pervasive ugly stereotypes are when people won’t believe the simple premise that people in need spend money on their most basic needs to improve their lives.
