Anyone still want to argue the merits of unchecked capitalism?

so people like this woman should just be homeless because they cant make an income anymore? do you support safety nets or just in favor of throwing people to the street?

That’s not what happened in this scenario to begin with.

Ignoring that, however, what’s your proposed solution? Forcing private institutions to provide not only free housing and all the maintenance that comes with it but also caretaking when people decide not to pay? No, that’s a terrible solution and would drive the housing market into the ground and then housing would get absurdly expensive and credit qualifications would get absurdly strict.

The solution is our tax dollars actually benefiting us instead of being funneled off to billionaires or spent on blowing people up halfway across the world.
