I swear bro, we're going to fix homelessness, just give me one more dozer sweep, bro, I swear it'll work this time, bro I promise we won't kill someone again, please, just one more dozer sweep it's got to work this time
This isn't even the first time something like this has happened. To my knowledge, this exact same thing happened in Modesto a few years ago. I sincerely doubt those are the only two. Dozer sweeps aren't cheap, either; I'm pretty sure the city could just house these folks for whatever they're paying to do the sweep. This is purely about flexing on our most vulnerable population.
Here's a couple ideas for dealing with the housing crisis situation, one of the primary causes of the homeless issues in the first place. Since all we ever seem to do is fail at handling symptoms instead of of causes.
But none of this will happen. Because the oligarchs have their money invested in real estate holdings that don't move or get and use, so they require little to no maintenance. It's a large reason why half of NYC looks like a shit hole with boarded up retail spots for decades while a cupboard under the stars costs $1800/mo to rent.
This is like that cop that ran over and killed a homeless person while shortcutting through a park 🤡 madness.
I think Georgia did this on purpose
They needed a bulldozer to take down a few tents? They couldn't just hire a few folks to deconstruct the area? What the fuck.
A handful of underpaid city staffers gently disassembling your home don't send the same message that 200 tons of steel and diesel barreling through it does.
Bell Riots were supposed to be last year
The Temporal Wars threw a–
You know what? It's not even worth it. This is truly horrifying.
I don't even know what to do with myself, reading this. It's so fucking nightmarish. Why do we allow this hell to continue? That man should have been in a warm, safe bed. And he could have been if we didn't hate our own people so much.
Stoping this hell requires people to get off the Internet and possibly put themselves in harms way, or risk their livelihoods. Until people want a better life for their fellow man more than they want comfort for themselves, nothing will change.
Personally, I just don't see that happening in America.
Let me guess, company in a rush to also not have to provide therapy to bulldozer driver.
Hopefully he was having a good dream
And that his sleep was not disturbed. Simply didn't wake up from his perspective.
Fuck this is awful...
