anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

Why do you think they deserve it

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Reblogging for the very, very important lesson

Sometimes I wish there were a Hell if only for the visuals of a bunch of rich shit heads wandering around on fire asking “Where’s my money?!”

I like the town I live in, but our biggest household daydream is patching everything that would be better with money.

We want to live in a town with a pretty street to wander down and nice bookshops. Only one bookshop is surviving. We could rent an empty storefront, pay off the rent for several years, install a handful of nice part-time workers with their wages paid for several years, give them running money and tell them: set up a collective to make this shop go. Make a good shop we can visit. It wouldn’t take much to fill a high street with the kind of places you’d want to go into. The local social media is begging for venues, listing what we need: a kid friendly cafe, less sketchy nightlife, more after-hours and weekend activities, attractions. Each one gets hundreds of comments agreeing; nobody has the money to do anything because of the rent. Shops stand empty while hundreds of people ask for amenities, all because of rent. If you were rich there would be no obstacle.

This nation allows communities to take in refugees if a home is provided for two years rent free. We could buy homes and give them to refugee families and then lives could be materially saved and our communities would be richer.

We want to send our kids to nice schools. Money would fix that. Raise teacher wages, provide splendid trips and activities.

When our kids are teens, they’ll rely on peers and listen more to peers than to us. There are a lot of deeply shitty teens around here and some entrenched nasty habits. Honestly, they mostly need stuff to do. Money could fix that.

If you got every shop in town to agree to a voucher scheme, you could give every household in town £500 in vouchers to spend in local shops and for a few hundred thousand pounds you would change an entire year for a town. Every household would have a smoothing of worry: scooping up school shoes and groceries and haircuts and fancy coffees and birthday presents. And the money would be spent twice on the town - once to the people, and once to the shops that need it so badly. Shops could stay open if they were doing this business. Isn’t that clever? The money would be spent twice! Maybe even more!

Despite the grimly well-intentioned environmental communities, the locals would currently be resistant to becoming a Transition Town because of the impression that it’s for snotty wealthy towns. I don’t really know how I could fix that. I could pay someone cleverer than me £30k a year to fix that and get started.

Instead of moving to a fancier prettier town with rich-people shops or sending our children away to expensive private schools, we could have a great place to live right here. Why would anyone want to live anywhere else? What else would you do with the money? Why would you move? What else could possibly be more stimulating and enriching than using money to perform endless, self-sustaining, material-world-changing magic?

Hmm....I'll be in my yaoi chambers

*cape flourish*

HATE when covid canonically exists within the tv universe. dont u know i'm using u for escapism

being an adult is just saying to yourself “this is the weekend i’ll clean my [x]” and then proceeding to not do that because it’s the weekend and you deserve to relax, goddamnit

If you're at my funeral and you think it's a little boring, just spice it up. Drink a little too much. Flirt with a few people here and there. Start a fight. It's what I would've wanted

good morning sickos let's get this child labor

"people are realizing during the pandemic we are not offering adequate compensation and working conditions and there are strikes all around the world, clearly the answer is not to take this into account, but just employ more children"

Call your fucking representatives and threaten to vote them out no matter what if they don’t do something to stomp this into the ground.

8 hour work days are now a minimum not a maximum, and frequently exceeded.

Child labour is creeping back in at the edges.

Workers are not being allowed to sit, or drink water, or take proper breaks.

Signs point to another labour movement being necessary, and those signs are "the exact things that caused the last labour movement."

trying to find a new piece of media to consume like, it has to be new, it has to be familiar, if it stresses me out even a little i will die, i want there to be a specific kind of conflict but i don’t know what kind, i want to be utterly engrossed, i want to watch it in the background, i can’t concentrate, i am hyperfixated, i want to be challenged, i want to be comforted, i want to be disturbed but in a comforting way, maybe i’ll just watch the first three seasons of great british bakeoff again

you're fucking a clown he's balls deep ready to cum and you tell him to pull out but his clown dick is comically long and it takes him a solid minute of yanking and coiling it like a rope to get it all out

This feels like the start to a horror movie and I love it

Me rn:

mad respect for our men in stem (sewing, tidying up, errand running, making dinner)

*Opens Google to check if sheep can get sunburn*

*30 minutes later realise that haven't looked up anything about sheep cuz I immediately forgot and spent the past half hour learning about moths cuz I wanted to know what their hair is made of*

By the way, sheep CAN get sunburn just after they've been shaved and a moth's hair is not hair like ours and is actually more similar to really long scales. Did you know some moths don't even have mouths? Wild

Ah. Yea. Fair

HAVE YOU FUCKING NOTICED!!!!

Someone else mentioned all the black women as therapists

The rule seems to be ‘if the profession is known for discrimination, you can make the character a minority. However you have to ack like everything is fine and can’t address the struggles of being a minorly in said profession.’
