So it's good to remind them we know too, and they're losing.

Hey @ipaccanada.bsky.social how about we try remasking the future?
This would be a good year to finally start learning from your mistakes, and I think we can all agree that your unmasking idea turned out to be spectacularly stupid.

En Finlandia, el número de personas sin hogar ha disminuido drásticamente. Las personas afectadas reciben un pequeño apartamento y asesoramiento sin condiciones previas. Cuatro de cada cinco personas afectadas logran una vida estable. Y todo esto es MÁS ECONÓMICO que aceptar la falta de vivienda.
“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.”
