-You don’t just exist without doing SOMEthing to maintain your life ... what IS it ?-
I was in a Seattle hotel listening to the news. They were discussing the homeless problem. The interview was of some uber-liberal woman who wailed, “We feed them. We clothe them and take care of their medical needs. Why! Why do we still have a homeless problem?” I stopped dressing to watch the reporter b*tchslap her. But he just murmured agreement.
They have a homeless problem because they want to have a homeless problem.
Incidentally, they should not be called homeless as that implies the problem is they are regular people but without a home. The problem is they are drug addicted or alcoholic or not sane. If society stopped caring for their physical needs then they would need to stop their addictions or starve and freeze. What we are doing by supporting these people is not kindness or compassion.
I am reminded of the several times I tried to get the company I worked for to arrange treatment for alcoholic employees, who, incidentally, were doing actual damage to the company. In every case the company enabled them to stay in their job until they died of alcohol related problems. In each case those who worked under them and with them breathed a long sigh of relief. The company was complicit in their deaths as far as I’m concerned.
Any fool KNOWS you will ALWAYS get more of what you subsidize.
Fatherless children are a BIG problem in America; yet we subsidize women to have the bastards (Damn Trump and his un-PC talk!)
You wanna have lots of pets?

"It's for the chilrun!"
IN a financial sense it was better to leave these alcoholics alone and let them crater on their own, rather then try to help them. Once identified, they cannot be discharged, must be treated with kid gloves.
Better to let them crash, pay the one time cost of the life insurance and their problem takes care of itself.
I’m not saying it right, but that is the calculus in the board room.
