Our government behaves like that because it formally takes bribes.

If you look at the real issues ~60% want homeless fed and to help people back on their feet, healthcare and school to be affordable to everyone.

~40% want all those things, but they only want them for themselves and their families.

We're at about 60/40 POS.

I'd say 60/40 is way off provably more like 80/20

That's where I want it to be. But I'm worried it's not

Eh if you ask any random person if they'd rather kill or house the homeless people I'm pretty sure they would say they'd prefer the latter
