Athas posted:NATO is more energised, united, and active than in any time in my living memory. They are acting with far more competence than Russia. Is Payne just upset that NATO isn't also driving armoured vroom-vrooms into Ukraine? Yes. Tanks are big and powerful and clearly the best thing to make in the modern era and not at all hilariously obsolete as of the middle of WWII.

Why not just give the poor people money, pay for the addicts' drugs, and give mental health support to those that need it You don't even have to find the money because you can just use the money you were gonna spend to put and keep them in jail

George W. Bush tried it in his second term w/ a Housing First policy, and it looked promising. One thing that scuppered outcomes was when those overseeing the program gave the houses to the "more deserving" first, rather than the people who kept on ending up in the ER or a prison cell.

Horsey is like a textbook liberal. Just perfectly supportive of the poor and homeless…right up until it’s the poor and homeless in his city.

I vaguely recall that one of the last Horsey's to be posted concerned a local election, and he was quite clear that he endorsed the cop democrat but also that he'd pick any of the republicans over the non-cop democrats who wanted to increase social spending and jail fewer homeless people. Not only is he an ultralib, he actively uses his platform to undermine these efforts he claims to prefer.

I looked around to try to find it and this was his take on that local election. Might not be the exact one you're thinking of but it surely has the same sentiment.  quote:Seattle progressives need to learn a lesson from the results of Tuesday’s municipal election: You cannot win by ignoring the concerns of the majority of citizens in the city. I guess if progressives really wanted to win they'd make it illegal to be homeless?

Seattle created their own version of Andy Ngo who now goes to "CRIME hotspots" and just films poor and homeless people which makes it onto our Sinclair-owned news station. There's been 2 bad "crime" spots that have been bad since... early 2000s that suddenly now are getting noticed and people are pretending to care. Thing is, the only violence there is other homeless / drug deals, and normal people never really get attacked. Basically, all Seattle media outlets (including Horsey) are falling for this narrative that Seattle is unsafe when it's actually a hell of a lot safer than it was in the 90s. All it's done is had our police department spend a ton of money to create a mobile precinct, which has the homeless scatter to different parts of the city, so it looks like a success but in reality has just pushed the problem elsewhere. Liberalism!

An rear end in a top hat Named Horsey posted:At long last, Seattle police are making their presence known at Third Avenue and Pine Street. So I used to walk through/past this area more or less every single day when I was attending classes at the Art Institute (which was, yikes, like a decade ago now). I remember there were almost always homeless folks hanging out or panhandling, and while I'm sure there were deeply unpleasant or dangerous people that hung around the area too, because people are people, and it's downtown Seattle, I never encountered any. They were generally very friendly or perfectly happy to ignore me. I remember this one dude with a pet rat that would sit on his shoulder while he just struck up a conversation with anyone passing by. Hell, I kind of loved that whole area, you just met all sorts of cool people along that route. I think if a female college kid on a 50$ food budget and with a crippling anxiety disorder that was only worsening at the time can deal with the terror of people existing (sometimes at night, even, le gosh), this dipshit can probably stop quaking with disgust at poor people, shock and horror. Maybe this just comes across as me virtue signaling or something, but he's talking about somewhere I remember, and frankly I felt a lot safer at night when I saw folks I recognized on the way back to where I was staying than when I didn't. I'm guessing he hasn't been within half a mile of the area, at least not on foot. Probably sprints into Pike Place, if he goes there at all.
