The Cruelty Is The Point. #PovertyIsAPolicyChoice
Back where I consider home, they're spending a massive amount of money to hide the homelessness problem from Super Bowl and Mardi Gras tourists. Twice as much as what's needed for existing permanent housing programs and enough to just give each homeless person in the 200 max shelter $57,000 in cash.
Jeff Landry’s Super Bowl warehouse for unhoused lacks insulation, already nearing capacity
New Orleans City Council Member Lesli Harris sent a letter to Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry raising serious concerns about the warehouse the state is sending unhoused people to ahead of the Super Bowl.

The system isn't broken. It is working the way it was intended: to benefit those exploiting it. Meanwhile we are missing opportunities for climate change action, equitable access to health services (incl dental, mental health) and housing.
