UBI would be pretty good for people who can't afford rent right now. by Injustice 05/21/2020, 4:02am PDT
There's a lot of talk about people falling through the cracks, I think an easy solution would be to stuff cash into the cracks until it's literally impossible to fit through them. Then at least everybody's sleeping on a floor instead of the ground.

The other most pressing problem in my area, besides homelessness, is drug addiction. We can solve that one by legalizing all drugs and distributing low-cost generic alternatives to whatever you're hooked on through the healthcare system.

Once everyone's got a roof over their head, food in their belly, and they're not scrambling to feed an addiction, we can all settle down and start doing our part to solve this climate crisis before the end of organized human civilization.
