Skimmed it because I’m about to go on a hike, and I don’t think it would ever fly in America

America is big on freedoms and forcing someone to live where you want them to live (putting all other things aside) is never going to happen. Organizations like the ACLU would whine and say you are criminalizing homelessness, and no matter how nice the setting, the ACLU would call it concentration camps or internment camps to be provocative. Liberal lawyers would sue, and whatever law or policy was put in place to create your system would be overturned

The only chance you might have is only going after the homeless that commit serious crimes, since then judges would be slightly more willing to take away their freedom as a penalty

America is never going to stop embracing allowing people to slowly kill themselves with hard drugs in the street. Take comfort that as long as you can keep a healthy routine and a social support system it won’t happen to you

Ya TLDR I'm like Gileadean. Esque. I'm pretty cool with other religions. Not very cool with amorality. Or greed. Or selfishness. Those aren't foundations we can ever build on. In this way I'm pretty traditionally conservative. No escaping that even if about a 3rd of my compatriots think I should kill myself and am an abomination. Passed through the eye of that needle once or twice already.

Tho I do believe in equality and females should have every opportunity males do. And vice versa. We just shouldn't lower our standards or expectations for anyone. No one deserves an excuse from doing the right thing. Which amounts to being honorable and collectively conciousness. Aware of thyself and others and the impact you have, alone and collectively on the world.

It is time for humanity to grow up or die. And I am genuinely sad about how painful that will be for many of you.

However, it is time to face this challenge with every shred of dignity, integrity, discipline, and honor we can muster. Collectively or individually. There is no more room for just seeking pleasure or happiness. True happiness and pleasure comes when you can set aside your immediate desires in order to achieve something greater than your own life can accomplish with others. Humans are a collective species and to die, rot, and stagnate in pure individualistic narcissism and solipsis is a death of the human soul and spirit.

Everyone should get basic income, but work in a wonka type factory.
