I don't have a stake in this thread, but I am stealing "maladjusted weaklings" (≧▽≦)

Yes. Yes, it would. This is so tiring.

It is not my intention to induce fatigue in anyone, though I am impressed that a reply comment in a forum is capable of doing so.

now I'm tired too

I hope you manage to get some rest after the tiring tribulations people pose on forums.

Damn, those poor and homeless are really living it up.

Is the solution to further mortgage working and contributing citizens' futures via our exploding national debt, just to throw more cash at them? California spends $40K+ a year, per homeless person, but saw the homeless population grow and the problem get worse.

For welfare, consider that a single parent with two school-age children who earns $11,000 annually from part-time work ends up qualifying for $64,128 in cash, aid, and benefits.

The same family earning $64,128 by actually working wouldn’t be eligible for any of these welfare benefits in four-fifths of the states.

For $14B+ we could have solved poverty and homelessness for all of New Orleans. Where did the money go? Not to the poor, obviously. The system is broken by design.

California clearly demonstrates that spending ever-more money on the homeless doesn't solve the issue for 90% of them.

Jesus Christ.

Oh yes, a very unfortunate side-effect that companies are implementing with tears in their eyes, tearing their clothes apart.

Unnecessary emphasis can get... quite comical... indeed.

Is that a genuine "he could lose", or "he could lose" the way Erdogan "could lose"?

I read shakes dice as a Latin term and had a good laugh. "Ah, if they bomb us, we will retaliate on Ecuador shakes dice."

>Vote for better politicians.

I cannot. I can only vote better politicians if they are there. That is without even going into the minefield of what is "better". My implication is that I have no confidence whatsoever in any current politician in my state.

> Donate money to causes that you think are important.

I have no money.

> If you think you can do it better, and this isn't meant to be facetious, run for political office.

I have no money, no visibility and no connections. Even if I was magically given tons of money, I would still need a strong network to attempt any real change, even without taking into consideration the strong networks already in place preventing it.

Telling random citizens "run for office" is facetious, whether you mean it or not.

> Telling random citizens "run for office" is facetious, whether you mean it or not.

Hard disagree. At least where I live, "random citizens" run for local office and succeed all the time.

Also, complaining that you "have no network" is a you problem, not a system problem. I'm truly sorry if you feel you have no friends, but you'll be better off at least trying to get some (independent of politics). And if that's something you've tried and failed at before, I do feel pity. But I don't think hope is lost for anyone. And even if it were lost, please don't actively spread the misery!

Don't spread the misery?? Wow, fucking thanks.

You are kind of proving my point. You are actively justifying doing literally nothing about what bothers you and acting indignant and self righteous about it.

"That's Larry; he does most of the work around here."

Because it adds nothing to the conversation and has a Reddit vibe and that goes down like a lead balloon in these here parts, cowboy.
