Think of the kids.
But don’t do anything.
"No kid should ever have to sleep on the streets, so we made it borderline impossible for them to physically do so. Hopefully their bootstraps figure out someplace they can sleep, because we sure as hell didn't. You're welcome."
It's more like "no kid should ever sleep on the streets so we provide them with shelter and support", but that doesn't make a good internet rant m
Except for the part where, in reality, they didn't actually do that.
My knowledge is limited to a short wikipedia scan, but I didn't see any reason to doubt they do it. Feel free to link some info if you know better.

Re your other comment: do you think there are only 2000 homeless kids in North America? What they're doing isn't even close to enough, by multiple orders of magnitude.
The disparity between demand and supply is so vast it feels like the government isn't even trying.
Do you think there's only 1 charity in north America? What a weird argument to make.
Do you think even all the charities put together come close to fixing the problem? 'Cause they don't, which you would understand if you'd actually bothered to avail yourself of the info you asked for beyond your "short wikipedia scan."
I'm not that invested in this beyond a quick wiki scan. Sorry to disappoint you righteous rage.
I live in a country where we have a social safety net, so even having charities for such basic problems is weird to begin with. What is even weirder is to rant on the internet about people who are at least trying to solve the problem.
You're the one who posted misinformation, got called out, asked for more info, and then dismissed it when given. That's your shitty behavior, not mine.
It would be nice to see shelter and support being provided, rather than a bisected bench designed to discourage the ability to comfortably lie down for a night's rest.
As far as a quick Google search goes, support seems to be provided, they offer 2000 shelter spots across north America.
Instead the message is "no child should ever sleep on the streets. We made it impossible to sleep on this bench because it's for people we want here."
So you would prefer that there is no shelter and more benches for homeless children?
I think the message is perfectly clear, and people online are just looking for reasons to be upset (not that they would do something about it, just posting angrily).
I would prefer shelter and no anti-homeless architecture. But I get that you prefer anti-homeless architecture and no shelter, since we're being uncharitable.
I live in a country where if you don't have a job the government will pay for your rent and utilities, indefinitely.
Additionally, I have a deal with them as well: If they don't sleep on the benches I will not sit in their beds. Works wonders.
Well, good for you. I live in a country that doesn't. I live in a country where your perspective is classist and callous.
Maybe the populous should have been more specific then
I believe populace means the people, whereas populous is an adjective that's a synonym of crowded
I suppose "populous" could be contextually nounified in niche circumstances.
Holy shit! There’s a bunch of poor homeless kids that are starving!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What?! Lemme get outraged and blame the parents, then post some Facebook comments about how outraged I am!
Yep. This is what happens when you bleeding heart assholes stop the school shooters, bullying-to-suicide, and ecumenical rape. The whole ecosystem gets out of whack.
This year, we couldn't even find enough people to take all the hunting licenses.
It's estimated that 20% (1 in 5) orphans go straight to being homeless at 18. Homelessness is becoming illegal. Banning abortions ups the number of orphans... Which ups the homeless population, which in turn will up the incarceration numbers.
Our plan to fix any of it? To make cuts to social services.
What do you mean, "fix it?" The prison slave labor system is working exactly as intended.
Eventually the homeless kids will go to jail and become ~~productive members of society~~ modern slave labor
Right. It's just insane.
Obviously you need to ban abortion, but if you arent sacrificing those children to moloch, what is even the point of society?
Like, im all for cutting social services, but you need to follow it up with proper ritual! We aren't even sacrificing enough of the children we have on purpose, and we're just replacing them. Its a fucking insult.
The old yeet ze child into the flames so the crops would grow better.
It's a bold move cotton, how many babies/children to bring back the bee population do you think?
Well, into the machine.
Dunno! Im mostly in this for the solitude filth and ugliness tbh, but im sure there's a number.
Your fascist anger nourishes me. Please, tell me more about how angry and miserable I make you.
I live for nothing else
Maybe if you owned a proper Ford F50000 Fleshreaper (BLOOD FOR THE CAR GOD™) you would have your own tiny body count, instead of being high on train fumes all the time. Mwybe moloch would love you, then.
I can’t write a smarmy response to a comment that is legitimately fucking funny
You do realize they’re joking right?
How arrogant for you to believe that I am even in the same stratosphere of stupid as you are. Of course, you are so fucking stupid. You can’t imagine anyone who isn’t as stupid as you are. So I can’t entirely blame you.
You’re still a piece of shit though
Wat
Don't mind them, they're just speed running getting banned from every community.
Not everyone is brave enough to advertise how fucking stupid they are. Good for you.
