I didn't say any of that, don't put words in my mouth.
If you want to convince the detractors you're going the wrong way about it.
I agree with helping people for the right reasons but you're not going to move anyone over to "your side" with that, are you?
You certainly won't win them over by insulting them and assuming things.
It doesn't HAVE to be economically productive, it just happens to be that it is and that dismisses the number one argument people use against it.

No I am just pointing out the absurdity of it all. I am not providing economic justification to do it, it's right regardless.
The arguments people give against it, at least the ones they ADMIT to... are wrong.
It's not expensive at all. It has an economic return. Health care, education, welfare.. it's economically productive.
It's idiotic in every way to not do it.
This is the kind of argument that needs to be made to win over those that hate the homeless.
@Dialectical_Idealist
But it is also an investment.
Providing a house enables a person to study, work or otherwise just have a life and become an economically productive member of society.
Politicians won't mention that, it doesn't pander to the bias of the haters that vote for them, that want the homeless to suffer.
Housing the homeless is good for everybody. It's an investment in everyone's future.

And even to this day, is not free of it.
@JoeDaRedTrooperYT The statue is depicted with broken chains at her feet, which represent freedom from oppression and tyranny. The broken chains symbolize the idea of liberation, rather than being physically chained.

Even worse is the fact the surveillance is crowd sourced.
Your phone might be as secure as it can be, but the Dr's phone/smart speaker/doorbell/etc may have picked up on what was said, detected your device/s via bluetooth and attributed it to you.
It's not just your devices watching and listening, it's everyone else's devices as well.
@knfrmity
They are using economics as a reason AGAINST it, not for it.
Turn it on them, watch them squirm.
Yes, it is class warfare. It's punching down for personal satisfaction as well.
Edit: Tut tut, taking a swipe at me then blocking me so you don't have to admit you read between the lines. made incorrect assumptions about me and what I said is shameful. You took a wrong turn at facebook dot com.
