Why aren’t people bullying mayors over this shit ?
How can a mayor call themselves a leader with homeless people in their town ?
Leader of heartless puke-faces.
Because news agencies and social engineering campaigns have created the common opinion that homeless people aren’t people, or if they are, they’re homeless because of their own poor choices. Plus, lots of people spend most of their time trying not to be homeless themselves, and then of course there’s a large part of the population that just doesn’t give a fuck, as long as it’s not them.
At least here in Los Angeles, there’s state-level regulation and budgetary constraints that limit what the mayor can do. And the city council is in the pocket of landlords.
In the middle ages we could blame a single king. Now it’s a lot more complicated, between politicians and the people who bribe them.
Nah you couldn’t even blame just the king back then. Lords and ladies were still a thing. Just like dukes and duchess. Hell a corrupt sheriff could be all it took for your life to be made harder.
Right? That’s the main villain in the Robin Hood story.
A lot of popular entertainment shows the king as having absolute power, where the reality a lot of times was that he was constantly strategizing against his vassals to keep them from rising up against him. Those vassals wielded immense power themselves, since all of the levies at the King’s disposal came from his vassal’s dutchies, which they had direct control over.
How is a mayor responsible for junkies and mentally unstable people unfit for society?
What do you want them to do?
How many homeless people do you let crash on your couch and eat out of your fridge?
Or is it only ok if someone else pays for it?
