Why aren't people bullying mayors over this shit ?
How can a mayor call themselves a leader with homeless people in their town ?
Leader of heartless puke-faces.
At least here in Los Angeles, there's state-level regulation and budgetary constraints that limit what the mayor can do. And the city council is in the pocket of landlords.
In the middle ages we could blame a single king. Now it's a lot more complicated, between politicians and the people who bribe them.
Nah you couldn't even blame just the king back then. Lords and ladies were still a thing. Just like dukes and duchess. Hell a corrupt sheriff could be all it took for your life to be made harder.
Right? That's the main villain in the Robin Hood story.
A lot of popular entertainment shows the king as having absolute power, where the reality a lot of times was that he was constantly strategizing against his vassals to keep them from rising up against him. Those vassals wielded immense power themselves, since all of the levies at the King's disposal came from his vassal's dutchies, which they had direct control over.
Everyone's always able to point at everyone else.
Because news agencies and social engineering campaigns have created the common opinion that homeless people aren't people, or if they are, they're homeless because of their own poor choices. Plus, lots of people spend most of their time trying not to be homeless themselves, and then of course there's a large part of the population that just doesn't give a fuck, as long as it's not them.

Pauper troll
For all those dogs know, that mayor could be doing all that they can with the resources they have. But if it's a national issue, then it's effectively like trying to extinguish a forest fire with a squirt gun. Go after the Big Dog President.
For all those dogs know, the President is just a figurehead to placate the people into believing they have a measure of power while the corporations craft legislation which is forced through Congress by the power of their ~~bribes~~ political contributions.
I mean most funding for homelessness comes from local and state agencies, not federal.
So it's more like go after big dog state senators and neighbors who vote against shit like education taxes because no state, federal, or nonprofits have figures out a way to enact nonlocal taxes so public education is more well rounded rather than being shitty in poor places which is self reinforced.
I've tried! Nobody wants to pay taxes!
Especially the people who own for their money by charging a levy to other people for using their things, exactly like a tax, without a hint of irony.
Yeah, but if we made rich people pay their share of the tax burden, that would be "socialism" or something.
Lots of chuds showing up in comics comments for some reason.
I don't have the issue. But I do block a few instances that where shitty individuals tend to congregate.
Inb4 "If you see a woman stealing baby formula, no you did not."
My Walmart was more security around the formula than Fort Knox.
Things must be getting bad bc instead of a greeter checking recipes, not my walmart has loss prevention guys dressed like vested mall cops.
Supposedly they are having record thefts, which is part of the reason they’ve increased prices.
But from what I can find, there hasn’t been an increase in theft reports to the police, and I would think their insurance requires a police report if they want to file claims on this apparent rash of thefts.
I think it’s all bullshit, and it’s going to come out in a few years that all the major big box stores colluded to raise their pricing as an attempt to squeeze more profit out of a dying economy that is also shifting away from them.
I severely regret entering this comment section…
Patrol Troll?
Because there is a famine after we sent the farmers to the gulag or we destroyed the crops following nonsense "closer cropping" instructions from a leader who doesn't understand farming
Oh, well. At least it wasn't the second time the British Empire deliberately starved twenty million Indians.
