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.

I gave specific examples of countries that have reduced homelessness effectively and humanely (Finland, Norway, etc ), cited my sources and multiple solutions (not just housing, although it is a large part of fixing checks notes HOMELESSNESS?), and replied to your comment of nothing evil happening in the world?
Here's another article for you to not read or comprehend:
https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/look-finlands-housing-first-initiative
Spoiler Alert: As I know reading isn't your favorite, their solution is called Housing First (it also contains many of your same ideas that I also mentioned below). Well except for locking them up in asylums because that's as cruel as it is stupid and ineffective.
Double Spoiler Alert: As a singular example (of which there are many), Finland has a third of the homeless population percentage that we do in this country, and our GDP is 83x that of Finland. You'll find that when you "RE-READ, with an attention to understanding what we're talking about instead of reading with the intention of rebuttal".
If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person on the planet. I have experienced homelessness, and I've also helped lift people out of it. Can you say the same?
It's obvious you've tried nothing and you're all out of ideas. We don't need to give them housing but we need to lock them up because many are criminals?
I'm arguing to help our fellow men and tax billionaires to give support to those in need and treat them with the same dignity and humanity we would anyone else.
We are not the same. I hope you find peace and faith in your fellow man again, until then I wish you luck on continuing to punch down to those in need on the Internet and sucking the toes of the richest man alive.
TL;DR: Homelessness is a multi-faceted issue that requires a complex and thoughtful solution including strong social support system, treatment, counseling, EMPATHY, and yeah a fucking roof over their head.
P.S. I don't HAVE to disagree with everything Elon says, I GET the distinct pleasure to because of how incredibly stupid and corrupt he is. After all, fighting and opposing Nazis is as American as Apple Pie.
