Hackernews in general can be quite callous towards poverty.

- eyelidlessness 4y agoI’m not sure if my post was taken as callous but I was explicitly rejecting anti poverty, my usage of the term was as a term of affection for the people I was advocating for, and identification with them. To be absolutely blunt I have only solidarity with my fellow street critters. And I want them to be able to use a bathroom without a QR code. Like everyone who isn’t a street critter can do (despite bullshit whining in other comments)
- DoreenMichele 4y agoNot as callous as most parts of the Internet. HN is the garden spot of Ceti Alpha Six.
- rightbyte 4y agoI believe most "visible" homelessness is about mental health institutes not being a thing anymore, not poverty. The general plan seems to be that the mental patients can't be misstreated if they get no treatment. I blame the "One flew over the coconest"-mentality.
