I'm gonna start blaming physics when engineers fail. Seems smart.

They get millions in federal funding but implement poor policies. Must be capitalism's fault.

I feel like the “conservative” answer is to waste the same amount of money or more except on **** that is actively designed to hurt people instead of help them (I mean poor people of course- they work out mutually beneficial **** with other rich *******s)

I wish their move was to not govern at all

However it is true that blue states are becoming more and more prohibitively expensive-

Can’t have much respect for the Bay Area PDX and Seattle when their “liberalism” = be rich or move on

Yep, the inequality and unrealistic cost of living is ridiculous. I wonder what our homeless population would be like if other states had similar laws to a lot of California cities, because many homeless people make their way to the state because they know the law won't be as hard on them. It's hard finding reliable stats so idk how much that would cut down.

Well that's depressing. But sort of deserved since the devs ruined a great game.

They aren't ****ting on the streets in Dallas, Ft. Worth, anywhere in the Mid Cities region, etc., so obviously someone is doing something right in comparison.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
