Where are the homeless supposed to go?

Cities have been cracking down on homeless people so they can’t have encampments or stay on sidewalks. At the same time usually the shelters are full. So those who are unable to get into a shelter, where are they supposed to go?

I was talking to a hotel barista who was a conspiracy buff, and she suggested that the government was trying to kill them with fentanyl, and honestly after the crack epidemic in black neighborhoods in the 80s, I can't say it would be beneath them.

Would be more cost effective than rehabilitation.

Wow. That actually makes sense. I can see that happening.

The way that in other countries, bags of grain being distributed to the hungry are being mixed with narcotic powder, to get rid of them.

Damn, what countries is this going on in?

I believe it, but just curious… sorta sounds like India, because they used to do the forced sterilizations

My guess is that it rhymes with Pisrael and Lalestine

Not going to switch the topic to politics, so I won't get specific. It has been discovered in countries going through conflicts with neighbors.

I see, I think I know what you mean then, will respect your decision not to get into politics

PS I read some of your other posts on here, you write really well and I can really relate to your life story (as someone who struggled with homelessness in the past and is also on the spectrum)

Have a great weekend!
