Don't give money to homeless people, please. The homeless who need it get their money from services that help them get back on their feet. The degenerate drug addicts who plague the city need to stop getting cash from people.
- tempguy9999 8y agoI am very uncomfortable with your presumptive use of 'degenerate' here. Are you equating addicts with degeneracy, and what comprises degeneracy in your view? And what is a drug - Does alcohol count? I know a guy who's drinking himself to death but has his own house. Also what do you think of this https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/05/the-case-for-prescription-heroin/ https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/05/the-case-for-prescriptio...
- natalyarostova 8y agoI'm sorry that makes you feel uncomfortable. I view degeneracy as the moral decay that causes the societal and familial ties to dissipate, as well as the inability for a local or state government to manage its people, that results in feces and tents littering my street from broken humans unable to take care of themselves.
- monocasa 8y agoCrazy idea: maybe feces and tents are littering your street because no one's helping them, rather than 'degeneracy'.
- natalyarostova 8y agoObviously it's both, right? Although "help" is an interesting term. It can span a lot of policies, some that make sense, others that don't. Meanwhile the degeneration of familial support networks and moral codes plays a part in a more atomized society, where falling into drug addiction with no non-state help becomes increasingly common.
- DuskStar 8y agoYeah, giving money to beggars is like paying for rat tails or cobra heads. Superficially it helps with the problem, but it rearranges the incentives to make things even worse.
