For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

So the mentally ill deserve to be left to rot in the streets? Why else have a social safety net, if not for them?
What do you want to do, give them a house? -- because we closed down all the asylums. That's where we used to house them. I'd rather give mentally healthy people the houses.
That's what we do in Finland and it's been working great so far

Yeah, sure looks like you're doing GREAT. You only have the highest deaths from drugs under age 25 among your population, you can start the "We're #1!" chant now...I guess...
Only Sweden and Ireland pass you in the overall drug deaths per population. You SURE are proud!
Yeah that's not great but I don't see what that has to do with housing
Then it's clear you're not actually reading any of the conversation here. Maybe go back and read the topic at hand, come back when you've got a good grasp on it.
This topic isn't about housing, it's about housing specifically for the maladapted, psychotic, drug addicts, etc. Many here are arguing that giving them a house would make them ALL BETTER and turn them into functioning, productive members of society...
Free apartments work for about 80% of people and can be cheaper than hospital/jail!
(And to be specific about that minority of folks, they are not able to pick up after themselves etc.)

Well we need to think ahead a little bit. We can't take a mentally ill person right off the street and stick them in a colonial revival and expect them to maintain with the upkeep.
