Should people who have no money just be allowed to starve to death?

[msc545]

If so, are you then going to complain about tax dollars being used to pick up and dispose of the bodies?

[lightbulb27]

We'll no, if they want to eat, our society should be progressed to be able to feed most of humanity. Inability to make money should not be a barrier to a basic necessity. ditto water.

I believe church should be the ensured distribution point of food and provide support that way. Why... it's cheap, it should be done from the heart, and it can provide social support that is essential. Government can help but isn't so efficient or fair.

But if they really want to die, and that's not preventable, is ok I guess. Probably an easier way to die, like take some fentanyl?

The issue with handing out $ is it's enabling some to be lazy, feeds corrupt companies that produce junk food that trash peoples bodies... causing more problems, and doesn't encourage them nor enable to grow or produce their own.

This is an overall battle against the big grinding machine of corrupt printed money that is sucking the land out of the hands of the people, into the hands of the few and government and impoverishing so many. A slow terrible grind...

In this day and age no one regardless of income should go hungry, there’s enough food in this world to feed everyone yet the greedy corporations stop it being given to people in need.

[Gummy_Cluster]

In the US, there are farmers that are paid to NOT grow crops.

[msc545]

@Gummy_Cluster and?

[TheVigilantFox]

More fool them for going along with it then. If people all stuck together this agenda couldn’t go through, but people are cowards and lazy and just sit back and let the governments kill us all. So you will eat bugs own nothing and be happy, unless you stand up and fight.

[Gummy_Cluster]

@msc545 And?

[Gummy_Cluster]

No. In my state, prison costs about $50,000.00 per year per person. And jail is much more expensive. But in the very cold winters, the homeless will commit a crime just to go to jail, and hopefully prison. Can you imagine how many shelters they could build with that money? I've worked in a few shelters, and the people there don't lift a finger to help with anything. If I were in charge, they'd work 8 hours per day. The state would save a ton of money, and no one would go hungry unless they wanted to.

[msc545]

You cannot legally make people work without paying them if they are not prisoners.

[Gummy_Cluster]

Can you legally stop providing meals? So they can't even peel potatoes, but they can go out and smoke? And is it a law that you have to provide food and shelter? In my shelter, you will work, or you will be shown to the door. I'm not going to force you to work. Hit the road, Jack.

[msc545]

Nobody has to provide anything unless the person is confined to a jail or prison or hospital

[Gummy_Cluster]

Right, so if I had a shelter, it would be their choice to stay and contribute, or go back under the bridge.

[msc545]

you could do that unless they were actually staying at your shelter.

[Gummy_Cluster]

Obviously

[WellGreetingsISay]

No, it's good to keep everyone fed, at least with the basics.

[call_me_scar]

No the poor should have food I wish my tax dollars went to them over our military industrial complex

[BJP21]

How would handle being deprived of simple basics because of no money? Starvation is a sign of oppression which is a gateway of law and disorder. So NO.

[Leopard23]

Dead bodies make good fertiliser

[Anonymous]

Republicans would love that.

[msc545]

They already love it but would bitch about the cost of collecting and processing bodies.

[exitseven]

They could be turned into compost and sold at Home Depot

[msc545]

The problem is you are not kidding at all.

[exitseven]

Yes I am

[msc545]

not really. Worrisome.

[Anonymous]

If that is the fate they want how can I say no?
