Homeless camps growing in Seattle as city pledges changes to Navigation Team We know these dopes can’t figure it out, that’s obvious. I would propose Trash 4 Beer, maybe even Trash 4 Heroin. I feel like the city would at least be clean. What could go wrong? Lol. Post your own solutions. Try to be humane, or not.
What the sam hill is a "navigation team"? A slew of cops out roaming around telling the tourists how to get to the scenic points?
Cities always have plenty of manual labor that needs to get done. Picking up trash, trimming branches, maintaining parks. 8 hours work earns a voucher good for I day at a hotel and a meal or two. If you can find anyone willing to work!
I’d also propose a “Garbage Squad” and pay them equal to the mayor or city manager. No joke. Worst job ever but....... Incentive pay included to eliminate slackers.
From the videos I've seen, half of what's living in those homeless camps are migrant "protesters". One videoer was filming all the needles on the ground when some of the "residents" came and told him to gtfo. He asked what was with all the needles and syringes and they said people came and threw them over the fence into the camp. Right. Because that's the first thing a junkie does after shooting up, traverse the city looking for a camp full of antifatards to dispose of his used junk in. My solution is to put them to work (which is wrong, according to the SJW who think work is racist). Clearly Seattle needs a LOT of grunt work to clean up the mess so cities across the US can pitch in by sending them more homele... errr... comrade workers to assist.
No more homelessness!!! Provide training, housing, health care and meals in exchange for work under stern supervision. Sort out who can work, what their aptitude is, then assign them to a work detail. Oh, wait.... No, that's the fix! No exceptions. Clean them up, dry them out and put them to work. All they need is a little motivation.
I’m using Seattle as an example only because I don’t give a crap about it. It’s spreading everywhere though. Yuck.
I told the Mr the other day they should just get a decommissioned cruise ship, load it up with all the dope currently collecting dust in police lockups, and give all the homeless a free pass to it if they so desire. San Fran was already putting them up in hotels with free booze and weed. This just takes it a step further. Give it a check-in pass only and call it Hotel California. They can all go shoot up until they OD, then they can feed the fish. Problem solved. He said I was evil and that's why he married me.
You cannot incentivise bad behavior, you will just get more of it. The British in India thought there were too many cobras, so they put a bounty on them. The next thing you know there are locals breeding them in captivity just for the bounty. When the Brits put an end to the bounty, the locals just released the cobras since they weren't getting the bounty anymore, thereby increasing the amount of cobras. If you propose a "beer for a bag of trash" or similar program, you will just get losers playing the system by importing bags of trash from elsewhere or something similar. Never underestimate greed, laziness, or indiference.
You can NOT get them to work , Farm up here brings in Jamaicans and Spanish speaking from south america, nice gents who send there pay back home . They Work , this has been a problem for 30 years as I have seen . Sloth
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure! I like the cruise ship idea, get a couple of them, offer a free luxury cruise, supply all the booze and drugs and a few days of good food, sail off into the sunset with the scuttle cocks opened, and a coast guard cutter to offload the few crewmen, problem solved, those that survive the sinking and feed the sharks!
^^^^That is sort of humane. Lol. Let’s say it was one thousand years ago, or 200. What then? You’d have to TCOB because of the threat to the entire village right? Now we give them tents and an outhouse but they even miss that, right on the sidewalk. Eww.
Someone put together a compilation of people crapping in a number of Needles'N Turds cities, think it was on YT but might have been BitChute. Now I admit I have a piss poor opinion of humanity anyway but even I was goggling in shock at it. Not just the sight of some dude standing there on the street in the middle of town, pants around his knees and laying cable on the sidewalk, but the sight of the people milling about ignoring it like they thought it was normal. Not one person was like OMFG NASTY! Nope, just ho hum, a chili burrito sounds good for lunch today. There was one homeless dude in my town years ago, lived out behind a business beside the tracks. Attempts were made to get him into some sort of housing but he wouldn't have it. At some point someone went and made him an outdoor shower and I guess people kept him fed enough not to starve to death. He was seriously mentally ill but at least he did his civic doodies out in the cow pastures away from the public. I guarantee if he'd started dropping trou across from the bar & grill, someone would have put him on the first Greyhound to Seattle within an hour.
I detest the waste of good and still functioning ships, and I cannot imagine a crew willing to be rescued from either the sinking or the whacked out passengers. How about towing the derelict (the passengers will be too stoned to know it isn't a first class liner) ship out and cutting the tow line at an appropriate location? The coast guard's part is simply to make a hole in the hull after the tow line is cut. Good practice, I should think, on the Mk 110.
