@lain I'm in the regular tropics right now, is that close enough? 🤔

@nsarwark Without deconstructing the left-populist rhetoric, I agree that people should want to end homelessness. That starts by recognizing that in the majority of cases, solving it is a lot more complicated than just handing out cash to people on the street, and that in many cases it will take the initiation of force against the homeless to coerce them into changing their approach to their own mental health, drug abuse, etc.

@lain @dym His sons, once close, are now at odds. That seems a bit medieval as well.

@lain I prefer the drunks.

@lain Brazil and Argentina? Two drunks can't prop each other up.

@lain I hate it when that happens!
