I swear its ####ing amazing how bad things are getting for regular working class people. Inflation, climate change, and, "shut up and let the zombie meth addict call you wife a bitch" shaming of lack of concern for the "unhoused".

There’s not a post of mine suggesting we do nothing in this, just the opposite in fact, we need massive coordinated action across multiple levels of government, non profits, medical professions etc.
But the sentiment of round em up and lock em up I feel is a concerning one. First of all I can’t figure out what people think we should even charge them with. It’s unfortunate your wife gets called a name and she shouldn’t have to deal with it, but nobody is going to jail for that. We don’t get to just lock people up because they’ve become a nuisance. Second, the criminal system is in no way a treatment system, dumping a massive amount if them into the system and saying job well done doesn’t do anything except put them around more criminals.
