I disagree. The article also clarifies why that price seems higher than it actually is (e.g. the program may reduce costs of policing elsewhere in the city by providing an orderly source of food and water (which that cost also includes)). It’s a more nuanced look than what the OP’s title suggests.
- sjg007 5y agoNobody like nuance unless it supports their narrative. I know a guy who hated Obama who said he played too much golf. When Trump started playing golf and exceeding even Obama's outings, he said, well a man who works hard needs a vacation. That experience taught me that regardless of political affiliation most people employ nuance when it suits them so they can clearly think in shades of grey. But our problem is that we insist on taking a position and pursue winning above all else.
