Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan “Ждем с победой” (“Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory” or something like that. Here’s one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).
But it’s not like it really matters lol
Ah, so you’re a landlord, that’s why you’re so evil. Your whole argument here is basically “I can’t exploit them for maximum profit while doing basically nothing so they all are subhumans who don’t deserve help”. That’s vile, man.
Also, I’ll take an educated guess and say that you’re in New York. And since it’s America, these homeless people didn’t have access to psychiatric or narcologic help during their stay, and probably didn’t have any relatives/friends/social workers to support them (you and your friends clearly never offered help beyond what’s required for you and them to receive money). And battling mental illness alone, while still stressing about a job and where to love after the contract expires and they’re kicked out because they’re too disabled to look after themselves doesn’t lead to a speedy recovery. Same applies if they’re battling addiction.
At the same time, yearly police budget of NYC is 5.8 billion dollars. Given that there are around 100 thousand homeless people and NYC median rental rate of ~3100$/month for a studio appartment, NYC could pay for a full studio appartment for each homeless person for the whole year, and it would cost under 2/3 of the police budget. So yeah, it’s not THAT expensive in the grand scheme of things.
And your solution is, let me guess:
Step 1) make up a situation to be mad at.
Step 2) get mad at it.
Step 3) ???
Step 4) allow police to hunt homeless people for sport.
Now, to be serious, step 2 in your example is a lie fed to you by the police state in order to manufacture fear of homeless people and justify its own existence. Therefore the rest of your post is bullshit as well. And when your neighbor has a mental health crisis, you should call social services and doctors, not the police. The fact that your first instinct is to punish and incarcerate mentally unwell people instead of helping them to get better says a lot about your current mindset actually.
If it’s the only option, then the democracy is already dead and voting for Biden is pointless. Democracy entails that the government represents the will of the people. And you’re suggesting that because some old fart decided to cling to power, everyone should stop demanding that their will is represented and start kissing that old fart’s ass. “That’s the only person you can vote for to preserve democracy” is a self-defeating statement…
