That one trick NASA does not want you to know about.

Wow, that really put it in perspective. How far we have let greed get the better of ourselves. Where are the guardrails to prevent this?

Oh I remember saying something along the lines of Ron Desantis was a dirty diaper and should be thrown out in the trash on a conservative Reddit.

The mods tried to have me banned over it and said I was harassing them. Unbelievable when all they did was talk smack about everyone. I learned when Reddit suspended my account over mods being butthurt that it was going down the drain.

I encourage you to lookup up Housing First if you have not already. While it may be misleading to say there are 16 million vacant home to half a million homeless people (32 homes for every homeless person), for the reasons you mentioned, it is entirely possible house these people.

No one who knows about this issue is thinking about warehousing people. Like you said they need a stable place to live, access to services, transportation, and work when they are ready.

Housing first is a proven strategy in dealing with homelessness. The fact that every state has not adopted these policies to help eliminate the homeless population shows this is more a cultural issue than a lack of housing.

According to the Census there are a lot more empty houses than homeless people. Let that sink in and you start to realize all is not what it seems.

Until someone is safe and has their basic needs met it is impossible to work on issues such as mental health and addiction.

The solution exists but it is going to take a lot of our time, money, and most importantly a cultural shift away from blaming people to accomplish it.

If we could fix our homelessness then we would show that we truly care about our citizens rather than just paying a lip service to our most vulnerable people.

Let’s see, we produce about 7.6 million short tons of corn syrup every year in the US. A short ton is about 240 gallons. So that is about 1.8 billion gallons of corn syrup and those tiny buckets look like roughly a cup per stalk. So that would be approximately 28.8 billion little buckets to collect all that sweet corn syrup.

If everyone helped out with this that worked in the corn industry (183,000 workers) that would mean they would only have to collect around 150,000 cups each. Totally doable I think.

Two issues here. The fear of nuclear energy was astroturfed by Oil and Gas. This means any irrational arguments against nuclear are propaganda which 99% are.

The second is there is no reason nuclear projects have to be big and complex. We could easily have small reactors to power towns and remote location. The reason we don’t has a lot to do with fear.

Simply put we are foolish not to be utilizing more nuclear power.

It is like a jet plane passing overhead with you isn’t it? Not even disagreeing with you just pointed out your simple explanation is right only if you set the price too low. Then I mentioned competition is the best way to handle it which you restated like you were correcting an imaginary straw man. Needless to say your basic econ lesson breaks down whenever the price fails to be elastic which happens quite often.

You must be an asspie or something I guess.

If you are starving then the price of wheat is not very elastic, but do carry on. Whatever is clever.

Basic economics says this only happens when the cap is set to low but it is entirely possible to adjust accordingly as seen in systems like universal healthcare. Thanks for the sophomoric understanding though it really added to the conversation /s

Price caps set to low cause this. Luckily we have a lot of data available nowadays and with AI a more managed economy should be a no brainer. Pretending reigning in price gouging will cause shortages is disingenuous. Although the best way to handle this would be to increase competition.

That is the point, then we can finally lay Christianity to rest. It is clear the majority of Christians are not followers of Christ. Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.
