Assuming you are 100% correct, what's wrong with that?
You think a country where selfish assholes get to force decent people to shoulder their burden is a good thing?
Requiring able bodied people to work is making it so ****ing difficult? Poor babies.
Contrary to what you might like to believe almost all able bodied people would rather work for a living than sit outside in whatever weather sleeping in cardboard boxes begging, and getting spit on and yelled at by every 5th person that walks by. Able bodied does not necessarily mean employable.
Let me give you a few examples of what I'm talking about.....
A while back there was a commotion outside of my old apartment. I looked out my door and there were two police officers down the hall escorting a homeless man out of the complex. Apparently he had been sleeping in our laundry room for the past few days to stay warm(it was January in Minnesota). A few hours later I heard another commotion. I looked out my door again, and this time my neighbor down the hall found the exact same guy right back in our laundry room, and was kicking him out again. The guy might have been "able bodied", but he clearly had mental problems, and was a sever sever alcoholic. No company would ever employ this guy.
Could you realistically blame him? It was January in Minnesota. It was less than 10 degrees outside. He would have frozen to death if he'd stayed out there. Now as a result of this problem my landlord had to pay $600 to fix up our laundry room, and he had to put locks on the down stairs doors so me and my roommates now had to fiddle with an extra key just to get in the building which meant standing outside in the cold in a Minnesota January an extra 10 seconds every time we came home. And why exactly? Because some vagrant wanted to not freeze to death.
So all that money and effort to keep him out, and what did we accomplish? The guy just went down the street and caused a problem for the next property owner with bad locks on their doors. On top of the hundreds of dollars my landlord had to pay he probably cost the city thousands of dollars over the course of a year. Whether it was through begging, or having the police deal with him, or stealing, or destruction of someone else's property the city still payed tens of thousands.
Now for the cost of about $1 per person the town could easily build a simple shelter and keep it temp controlled between 50 and 80 degrees all year round. Put a couple cots, and working toilet in there, and give the guy some bread an water every day. Hell let him have a ****ing colt 45 for all we care. The cost of doing all of that would be far less than what the city as a whole is currently having to pay to deal with the guy currently.
As it turns out many cities across the country are finally waking up to this reality. Salt Lake City has basically ended homelessness at a bare minimum expense by building a number of tiny homes for it's homeless citizens. They're nothing fancy, but they keep the problem contained and off the streets at a bare minimum expense. Minneapolis St. Paul, MN built what they're calling Wet houses to solve a similar problem. They estimated that they saved the city $5 million dollars in doing so.
People like you are wasting your time fighting a problem that is much better of contained. What's worse is that the kinder solution is actually the cheaper solution while your cruelty and greed ends up costing more.
