“Like HQ2 but for housing the homeless.”— David M. Perry (@Lollardfish) November 16, 2018
Whenever I argue about universal healthcare, building a robust safety net, fully empowering people with disabilities to live lives based on maximum autonomy, or otherwise articulate a vision in which government alleviates suffering, I get one answer – oh yeah! How are we gonna pay for it!
But the obscene spectacle of governments competing for Amazon’s second headquarters shows what’s possible when leaders feel the payoff is worth it and the political price for not competing would be too high.
Now just imagine those resources were expended on making life better for people who need help, rather than building infrastructure to enforce income inequality.
A man can dream.
