> How do we build a society where homelessness doesn't happen in the first place Pay people to get sterilized. Right now our current welfare system encourages homeless women to have children - since they are immediately granted public housing. Offering homeless men $5,000 and women $10,000 for vasectomies and tube tying will save a fortune in welfare costs and end the cycle of poverty.

This comment has to be one of the most vile things I have read in a long time. Even surpasses the hermaincain and coronavirus subreddits in horrific commentary. You think homeless people only come from other homeless people? Even if this is just a bot or troll account. If anyone reading this actually has this thoughtprocess as a solution. Please, volounteer. Soup kitchen for example. The homeless are not a substandard human race meant to be exterminated. Has the dehumanization of unvaccinated westerners started to set this kind commenters of commenters to think they are mainstream enough to actually post things like this? This would have been unheard of in 2019. You DO NOT under any circumstances enforce invoulontary medical procedures on a living human being. EVER!!!! No exceptions. What the hell are we becoming?

  "You DO NOT under any circumstances enforce invoulontary medical procedures on a living human being. EVER!!!! No exceptions. What the hell are we becoming?" Well, in fairness, paying people to do it is hardly involuntary.

  If the parent comment had advocated for the terrible things you’ve railed against, your comment would make a lot of sense.

  We are forcing experimental mRNA vaccines on billions of people, for no gain (explicitly in the case of those who already have natural immunity) - primarily for the profits of big pharma. Many people voluntarily seek out birth control. Its difficult for homeless people to manage that long-term. Vasagel is also a solution for homeless men. Long-term implants can be used for women.

I doubt you'll see any significant long term reduction in homelessness or poverty with such a program because there's little to no evidence that indicates that biology is a major cause. Some of the strongest predictors of homeless rates in US cities are availability of low income housing and of mental health care [1]. There is some evidence that homelessness & poverty increases the likelihood that the next generation is homeless/poor but that would be a secondary factor. The moral & political cost of a forced sterilization program is indescribably immense in the West and would need to promise similarly immense outcomes which are nowhere to be seen.
