What you are seeing here is the natural pro(re)gression of all technology. It only gets worse, it doesn’t get better. They will always be abused by the worst of society. And then we did new technology to “fix” the old technology. Kind of a

Hahah ha hahahahaa...wow. I hope you can hear yourself, and look inward before it is too late for you. Yes, I would rather save my selfish excitement until after we take care of the suffering of others. I WOULD get excited if we housed ever

Truth! And look at all the techno-sociopaths downvoting me! That is why the Bay Area cannot solve the homeless problem!

I am homeless. The problem is not complicated. I need money and I do not get enough on disability to live in an apartment near my doctors. So I live in a minivan for now. People who say "it's complicated" to these issues real

If $1T is not enough to end homelessness, then maybe that extra $11B would help? But pulling welfare funding numbers from "The Desk of Jeff Sessions" might not be a good place to start. https://www.cbpp.org/blog&#x

Yet we can't house the homeless.

by podgaj 5y ago
No need to build cheap or new housing, plenty of places to rent for $600 - $1000 a month. That $11B could house all the homeless in the US for two years.

If someone could answer my question with a logical response instead of just down voting it I would appreciate it because it is a serious question I am trying to understand about the vaccines. I am debating on getting a booster but I have a

Thinking seriously about this, I will ask, were these different dosages a work of collusion between these companies and the government because they were so unsure of the reaction and efficacy at a specific dose? Was it, in effect, a huge &q

If we want SASR2 to mutate into a less deadly version than we need to let it spread SAFELY. This is done through vaccines and NOT wearing masks. It can be accomplished as you said, but there is just more risk to life. SARS2 mutates much mor
