Clearly you have never lived in a country where the picnic services and parks have been turned into shanty towns.
You should be pushing for more shelters not encouraging them to sleep on a subway bench.
Problem is that would require you to volunteer, donate, hit the pavement. And you guys just wanna sit at home and meme instead
They say “volunteer, donate” and “shelters” are the answer. That’s nothing but a band-aid. Yes, it can help with the immediate problem, but it’s never an actual answer. The answer is government programs to put homeless people in honest-to-god housing, not shelters.

Me, a lowly peon, glancing around my subway: “Damn, miss those benches.”
You, a CEO at Terminally Online Industries: “It’s your own fault for failing to single-handedly solve homelessness.”
You could probably diy like five guys at blackrock. Five guys who are in the same room pretty often. Solving it yourself isn’t implausible.

The meme is not on their side, unfortunately.

Only government. No other kind of organizing.
We should be pushing for no homelessness. Not make life bad for everyone by removing infrastructure.
“Donation” is the furthest from a solution to the capitalist system you could ever suggest.
Or just lock them in a box. 95%+ are on drugs or have serous mental health issues. That’s enough to lock em up in rehab or a phyc ward.
Are you describing the homeless or CEOs?
