  • We can design a system that offers people dignity and care without rampant abuse. Some combination of public transparency, civil rights group monitoring and criminal penalties for failures in the administration.

    The horrible treatment of people you're describing is not inherent to asylums. It is a risk that we need to be conscious of and design systems and safeguards to prevent.

  • Most homeless people are down on their luck and really need support. Affordable housing, job training and placement programs, food, and medical care can really help these people. I don't have any problem with this majority of the homeless population.

    A small percentage of homeless are insane, whether due to mental health problems/drugs/some combination. These are the people causing problems. They cannot be left to destroy themselves and society around them. We need mandatory care for these people for them to live with dignity. It is not compassionate to throw them on the streets and ignore them. We need asylums for this subset, like we had until Reagan closed them all.

  • Charitably, I think from the context that Trump was saying "you won't have to vote after this election, since I won't be running and I don't give a shit about you or anyone else that comes after me."

    But less charitably, this motherfucker instigated Jan 6, and he'll absolutely try to overthrow democracy again. Fuck this guy.

  • "When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it." -- Donald Trump

    Vote! And make Elon worthless.
