why do you keep comparing the homeless to people who were trying to actually make a living and raise families?
the situation is totally different.
When you're an unskilled laborer, your options are pretty limited by default.
and you want to limit those options further. I'm not grasping how giving someone an additional option makes their situation worse.
Say it was as bad as you say and these places were horrible.
Homeless person in city A options: normal homeless options
Homeless person in city B options: normal homeless options + low wage job offer
how is the person in city A magically better off?
- turkishrevenge 18y agoYou neglect option C: A charity and/or social program that provides a safe, albeit spartan environment in which the person can live for a temporary period, while receiving instruction on life skills, resume preparation, interview conduct, and if all goes well, job placement. These kind of programs already exist for parolees (a similar type of at-risk population) and they are, for the most part, effective. And you don't need to exploit someone that already has a hard enough time adjusting to society.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agohow is that not included in normal homeless options? you're talking about taxpayer funded programs. I'm talking about a business.
