I don't see how being poor forces people to throw garbage in the streets and pee in the streets. One thing I can tell after living outside of the USA for some time, is that a couple of unemployed drug addicts can turn an otherwise neat

How is it going to help?

Okay, you offer help, the person tells you to fuck off. Very few mentally ill people realize they need help.

What if dispute handling is handled by the city then, while the actual job on the ground is outsourced? You think it's gonna help?

So what do we do with the person who urinates in his own piece of housing? He's certainly mentally ill, but urinating in private place does not usually qualify as direct danger to the society, so no forced treatment can be applied. Wha

What kind of degenerate outcomes? Just curious. Any good links to read?

I wonder how it compares to prisoners of other countries.

How do we prevent these houses from turning into slums?

Would be good if our next president doesn't know the war starting protocol as well.

He won the war, but lost the election... What an irony!

Trump's year by year numbers are not that bad either, as can be seen in [1] Final numbers have been heavily affected by 2020 covid, so cannot be compared directly. That being said: > failed to beat Obama’s final 3 years in terms of

Just off the top of my head: - made hospitals disclose healthcare prices - cleaned up asylum rules - banned Chinese equipment from 5G networks - enacted criminal justice reform And the most important: he's the only recent president who

Am I reading it right then, that the key problem of Amazon warehouse as a workplace is inconsistent application of corporate policies.

So when the workers unionize, what's gonna change? Workers will not be notified of their mistakes? They will not be fired if they make too many of those? Miscalculating the items won't longer be a mistake? They will pay the double

How a non-toxic company should've called it? "A terrible fuckup notice"?

But... but what kind of pattern would he expect to see in an urgent care servicing mostly (I assume) warehouse workers?
