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.

like seriously whatever you do dont think about the captain and that story about someone calling into gay bars and not saying anything, just listening to queer people living and laughing and having fun. definitely don't think about the captain doing that. haha.
#both during his life and in death#i just looked it up and the 1930s british queer scene was beautiful like jazz age stuff#the idea of the captain just discretely privately calling into places he's heard rumored to be queer#just to listen to the saxophone over the static of the telephone and know that there were gay people living and loving somewhere#and then to think about him missing that EVEN MORE in death because now he cant LEAVE#he cant hear rumors from people he cant call in#imagine the favors he'd have to owe julian to dial a number and let cap listen to the receiver without knowing what it is#like of course julian wants to know and he pesters him. but when cap is Deadly Serious and scared and sad.#a face julian's never seen. he winds his jokes down and agrees to do it#making cap think it was his idea- 'a bit of charity for the old walrus then'- instead of a deep understanding and love#and since its been decades of course the number he calls isnt a gay club anymore. maybe it doesnt even connect#and it breaks his heart and it takes him another decade to gather intel and the nerve to ask julian again#but when he does he finally gets a place and the phone quality is INCREDIBLE he can hear so much#he can hear people and their upbeat music and their laughter and their love#and he cries#and if julian sees it and pretends not to then its so that he can have the blackmail later thank you for asking#anyway im making myself emotional#bbc ghosts#EDIT Becuase then when julian overhears he tries subtly to make the captain feel more comfortable#bc julian is an asshole but he's not homophobic i mean he fucks everyone#so he tries to pepper in more stories about men but that just makes cap uncomfortable#and hes frustrated bc he cant think of anything else to do other than flirt with him but thats a bad idea#but then he remembers that he went to bars and places and maybe he'll like that#so he 'accidentally' dials some clubs he knows were cool and leaves the phone off the receiver for cap to find#and cap just gives him a curt nod and a clearing of his throat and they Dont Talk about it but they Know

Idk if you know but Michael used to date sarah Silverman and once gifted her cotton balls that smelled like his pits
https://youtu.be/87s5CcFwXp4?si=vqWvnP3MO-AyNVWV
I am howling!! You’re burying the lede here cause she literally says he gifted her the smell of his balls and asscrack. I’m shocked they let Donald Trump and Brexit break them up they truly deserve each other because the only other human being I’ve ever seen come even close to saying something as insane as what Sarah says in this interview is Michael Sheen

I can't stop imagining how reporters would hound the Alliance in the post-Rumbling world. Not because of a serious diplomatic mission that they're currently busy executing — but because all six of them are young *smoking hot* public figures so obviously almost everyone is curious to get an inside scoop on their personal lives

enjoying the fact that carpenter gets episode 4 of each season to just go off and commit crimes while delivering the absolutely most metal lines possible.

i think a lot of the gripes people have with taylor swift come from the fact she always tries to portray herself as "progressive" when really all she cares about are things that affect her directly. also the fact she has the biggest influence and the biggest outreach but refuses to use it
i think when you're someone with that big of a platform though it's really difficult to speak out bc at this point no matter what she does someone is going to find a way to hate her for it. yes, it's unfortunate that she doesn't speak out more politically but considering so much of her brand is being "the girl next door"/"america's sweetheart" she probably won't speak out on global issues and therefore i've stopped expecting it

By January [1931], the situation was so bad that a desperate Kentucky Red Cross worker wrote:
We have done our best for everybody. We have filled up the poor farm. We have carted our children to orphanages for the sake of feeding them. There is no more room. Our people in the country are starving and freezing.
The national Red Cross granted the hungry people a bare-bones $1.50 to $2.50 a month food ration. Down in the county seats, many local chapter leaders thought even that was too much for the hill folk, whom they saw as more or less subhuman, mostly criminals and moonshiners.
from A Square Meal by Jane Ziegelman and Andrew Coe

well, the problem of having had a huge box of books for donation in the garage for 2 years but nowhere to donate them to has handily been solved by the fact that that stupidly long period of rain a few of weeks ago kind of flooded the floor where they were kept and like 90% of them have mould now :/ 
not how i’d have liked this to end (i hate chucking books) but it’s not like i can Not chuck them now

Not everyone in Vulture Valley gets to live as long as Phoenix though. The recently deceased include Azra Demise and Omega Cistern, Carnation Private, Charity and Blaze Rune and tragically Pellegrine Quirk. Rest well, Pellegrine, you will be missed. Phoenix is going to be devastated.
