The Falsehood of the "Meth-Caused Homelessness" Claim: A Libertarian Response

Homelessness is a complex and multifaceted issue, and it is simplistic and reductionist to suggest that it is caused by a single factor such as meth addiction. While meth addiction may be a factor for some homeless individuals, it is important to recognize that it is not the sole cause and that a one-size-fits-all approach to addressing homelessness will not be effective.

Homelessness has multiple root causes, including lack of affordable housing, job insecurity, mental illness, and the failure of social safety net programs. Additionally, excessive zoning regulations can limit the availability of affordable housing, contributing to the homelessness problem.

So what can be done to address homelessness? Rather than relying on targeted government intervention, we should focus on strategies that lower time prices and make resources more affordable. This can include policies that reduce the cost of living, such as lowering taxes and regulatory burdens, and that increase access to credit and capital, making it easier for individuals to help themselves and others. By empowering individuals to take control of their own lives and overcome homelessness, we can create a more prosperous and self-sufficient society.

It is important to recognize the complexity of homelessness and to approach it with a nuanced and multifaceted approach. Only by understanding the root causes and implementing targeted solutions can we hope to make a lasting impact and reduce homelessness in our communities. This means moving beyond simplistic explanations that pin the blame on a single factor such as meth addiction, and instead considering the multiple root causes of homelessness. It also means focusing on strategies that lower time prices and make resources more affordable, rather than relying solely on targeted government intervention that may function more as a jobs program for those who claim to help the homeless rather than actually helping the homeless. By empowering individuals to take control of their own lives and overcome homelessness, we can create a more prosperous and self-sufficient society.

"Optimizing Governance through Psychographic Diversity: A Manifesto for The Forkers"

The Forkers is a cross-ideological political movement dedicated to defending individuals' right to fork governance projects. We believe that individuals should have the freedom to take a copy of a constitution, bill of rights, or other governance project, and secede from their current government to start an independent development process. This allows for the creation of distinct and separate governments, fostering competition and innovation in the realm of governance.

We recognize that different psychographic profiles may be drawn to different governance systems, and that the diversity of governance systems allows for individuals to choose the one that best fits their values and needs. The right to fork enables individuals to self-determine their governance and creates a more diverse and vibrant democracy.

We stand for the protection of individual rights, transparency in government, and the power of the people to shape their own destiny. We seek to promote a world where individuals have the freedom to govern themselves and to choose the governance systems that best meet their needs.

Join us in the fight for the right to fork and the creation of a more open and democratic world.

The "Liberty Penguin" typifies libertarianism with a gold color scheme & a torch symbolizing enlightenment. The symbolism alludes to the claim that libertarianism is well adapted to human nature just as penguins are to their environments.

The traditional libertarian position, the position I argued for in my first book, is support for open borders. That was also the traditional American policy. For the first century of the country’s history, anyone who could get here was welcome to come. Limits on Chinese immigration were imposed in the late nineteenth century but broader restrictions only came in in the nineteen-twenties and did not, at the time, apply to immigrants from other parts of the New World.
