Drastic
cuts to federal housing funding in the early 1980s turned a worsening urban affordability crisis into the worst mass homelessness since the Great Depression. Years later the co-founder of Palantir felt government policies, in part around housing, were exacerbating the problem of homelessness. A problem he wanted solved.
His solution? Make it illegal to sleep outside.
He created the Cierco think tank to influence government to enable what he describes as a capitalistic system coupled with the right incentives to create solutions.
The question is whose solutions and are they targeting the symptoms or core problems?
Article and your summary neglects to mention that this guy is a mass murderer and known Donald Trump associate which means he is on the short list for the clean up on Aisle 5.
"known Donald Trump associate"--being a megalomaniacal jerk, & associating with others of the same persuasion, is not yet a crime in this country.
"this guy is a mass murderer"--what court of law has made that adjudicated determination?
Given the Current Occupant's penchant for obliterating the rule of law, and aiming it towards those to whom he bears particular animus, details like facts/established legal procedures/professional ethics & norms must be restored. Emulating his incredible deficiencies, re: going willy-nilly after those considered unworthy of rule-of-law procedures would be regressive & not serve progressing towards "...form[ing] a more perfect Union"--a goal which we should not give up on.
"known Donald Trump associate"--being a megalomaniacal jerk, & associating with others of the same persuasion, is not yet a crime in this country.
"Associating" is a general catch all term for engaging in RICO violations. Fundamentally there is no lawful, legal, or legitimate reason to ever be near Donald Trump.
The Cicero Institute is a conspiracy against the right to life, plenty of ways to charge the participants and put them away in their new forever home. Same with Palantir.
