Thoughts on this?

Video is 13 minutes long.

It seems that there is a lot of government bloat (I know, I know) but it also meshes with non-profits and other businesses involved, which culminates in the state (in the truly Marxian sense of the word) having a lot of bureaucracy to it ("you stay in your role and I stay in mine").

seems mostly true enough, the unstated conclusion I'm seeing is that if you just empowered one agency to do even like 25% of what the nonprofits are doing, and gave them a correspondingly large budget, they could do a lot better than 25 different nonprofits each with their own bureaucracy and grant writers and shit. And they wouldn't have as much of an incentive to not solve the problems, since they aren't competing amongst a bunch of other orgs for funding. It's a lot of work to build stuff like that from scratch but it's gotta be better than just pouring money down the drain.

Also, why do I care if I'm "just funding some wannabe actor who moved to LA and became homeless" or whatever the quote is. Having come from elsewhere doesn't make them undeserving, nor aspiring to be in a lucrative industry

Yeah, the YouTube channel is definitely not BreadTube or BeardTube or whatever you call it; it's not by a leftist, but I found it useful and I just wanted to compare my reaction with others here.

Yeah it is interesting, and I appreciated the callout at the beginning that yes obviously humans deserve shelter as a right

Oh yeah, completely forgot about that part. The channel is rather liberal, tbh.
