In interviews, he has said there is a “homeless industrial complex” of nonprofits ruining California

What is that even supposed to mean?

Is it that hard to parse? The people whose jobs depend on there being homeless people have no incentive to actually solve the problem.

oh ok i didn't parse it that way because nonprofits are typically nonprofits so they don't actually have a financial incentive to keep the problem existing.

Yeah you mean the salary of the officers that they give themselves isn't an incentive. Got it. Thanks!

They really want to start introducing the idea of burning the homeless for fuel but are unsure how to broach it so they're working up to it.

Are you familiar with Eisenhower’s farewell speech to the nation?

thanks, that's an interesting article indeed

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” ‘The federal budget is an expression – perhaps the most concrete and measurable expression – of the values and priorities of the United States. What the federal budget expresses today is an insult to human dignity.

What a great quote.
