Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

a core problem for the dems, the leadership, seniority, decision makers, is they don't really *want* anything. they don't have any pet projects or real ambitions anymore, it's 'keep everything mostly the same and stay here till i die of old age'. so there's nothing they'd WANT to influence polls on

It seems to me that if a piece of art that evokes something in you — awe, beauty, hope, compassion, whatever — that is a testament to that thing being in you already. That alone can be worth celebrating.

Every argument for the electoral college claims the EC prevents a bad outcome that the EC explicitly causes, and every time I make this point, dozens of numb-nuts flood my mentions with some bullshit like “with no EC the election would only be contested in a handful of states.”
