Tbh, some points are correct. My only opposition is that it's so motivated to only show one side of the argument.


There is only one truth after all measurements are taken.

Its just rarely one that is easy to interpret or measure since all variables are interrelated.

Truth is also merely observation. Theory relies on how you interpret data, so explanations are never as cut and dry as introductory texts would have you believe.

If a poor person dies under a bridge and no ones around, does it make a sound?




Funny you should say that. In Pittsburgh we do have a "bridge" where poor vets (who happen to "live" there) do indeed die. Even though Pittsburgh is one of those cities that DO have a very large amount of private charities.
Even mixed with the federal welfare system, and a very good VA, it doesn't seem to be enough.

Since the steel mills were given away to foreign countries, more or less, by the fed, Pittsburgh is indeed a poor town. At least compared to what it used to be.

/e I guess it's still better than San Francisco was in 1996, which in order to deal with the homeless, offered to give them a one time bus ticket to where ever they wanted to go.

Our Canal Parade is becoming less and less gay and more and more commercialised every year.

God bless capitalism.

There are more homeless since the 2008 crash than there probably have been in the nation's history

The purpose of a partnership is raising children, which gays (go figure) fail hilariously at on a statistical level when compared to normal marriages, because of polygamy or otherwise. Theatrical stunts are probably part of it too.

well, the crisis was caused by the neoliberal policies from reagan to bush junior. but arent the liberals here on PaRD always referring to the "8 years of straight growth under obama" whenever someone mentions the current, solid economy under trump? sooo... I get that obama inherited a bad crisis, including, among other things, an epidemy of homelessness. I dont blame him for the issue at the beginning of his presidency. but he had 8 years of a recovering economy to do something about it, and apparently didnt.
