Thats like saying you should sell your house every time someone shits on your lawn. Its just silly. Good things happen. Opening homeless shelters and soup kitchens that tailor to them does nothing to actually solve homelessness. It like giving addicts more drugs. Sure they feel better for a bit but the people around them suffer more and more addicts arrive to consume them.I want you to think: What happens when everyone shares the attitude you just put forward? What happens when we can't open any homeless shelters because everyone gets angry and tries their best to constantly shut them down? We don't get more shelters, we don't fix the problem, poverty gets worse, the homeless get more desperate, and everyone loses.
