It's like comparing a speeding ticket with Ted Bundy.

You were still buying a license to play the games.

Sells licenses.

You've never owned your games. It's always been a license to play the games. It's just that now they have the ability to enforce it.

Lol, you think a person who implements such a policy will apply it to themselves?

Not if you're salaried exempt!

That's actually why. You have to drain the power from the circuits.

Actually, both are true. There's not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it's such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There's no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I'm not disparaging the people who can't spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.
