So build more. Yes, that takes time. So start now.

This is only difficult because we make it difficult.

It's actually nothing like that at all. What you're describing is putting a societal problem on the shoulders of individuals. What I'm suggesting is that society should actually fix the problems it has created.

Every place that has taken a "housing first" approach has seen success out of it. But people insist on making the problem more complicated than it is, because we've built an entire society on the false idea that poor people somehow deserve to be poor and anything done to help them is somehow unjust.

We could just house them. That seems to work.

I've been seeing more and more of those stickers around the last couple of years. I think this is just the media catching up

I still tip, because I want the people who serve me to be able to take care of themselves, but ideally, that shouldn't be my fucking responsibility. It should be their employer's. It's a fucking barbaric system that puts service workers' ability to put food on the table in the hands of entitled Karens and reduces them to begging for a decent wage.

There's a cider bar that opened in my town recently with a strict no-tipping policy, and holy shit, is it ever refreshing to not have to deal with that rigamarole.

If Punk wasn't a paranoid asshole who completely lost his fucking mind over the phrase "workers' rights", none of that shit would have happened.

Maybe the Bucks are a little immature, but they aren't the ones who spent months upon months throwing a tantrum and hitting people for no good reason.

I've been avoiding them for decades now. What they do to labor, what they do to suppliers, now this. And to top it all off, it's just a really unpleasant place to shop.

I didn't say I wanted the shit sandwich. I'm saying I don't trust them to keep the shit sandwich away from my plate.

Yeah, they've all done a bang-up job over the last four years.
