those systems are reactionary and id be willing to bet nowhere near funded enough.

i mean at some point id like to remove the profit motive from society altogether but in the meantime yes id like to say that the people contracted to build houses will be compensated in some way that accurately reflects the great value of their labor.

They don't even work on the scale they're funded at with people who try to benefit from them.

then they would not be viewed as equal's then? people would grow jealous of them or would they not?

perhaps they aren't intended to succeed? and yes this is why even so called "good elements" of capitalism are insufficient and do almost nothing to relieve the actual suffering caused by people

Homelessness in LA/Skid row is not like homelessness in other parts of ther country. It's mainly from d*** addiction/mental illness, listen to cop whose patrolled there for years talk about whats been tried and failed.

grow jealous of who?

we listening to the cops now lmaoo?

That's an unsubstantiated claim tho or rather question without a real answer.

Way to have faith in something I linked and see valuable.

its not like youve substantiated any of ur claims tho?

there's no reason to trust the words of cops on anything. you can link me a different source describing the situation.

And what if I became a landlord on order to have a source of income that will buy me time and capital to spend on good causes?

How would you reward the workers for building these shelters if you abolish profit? what could you offer to someone to build homes?

Not really, the empirical reality of things coincide with what I'm talking about. It would be easy to dig up various statistics about group homes, d*** rehabilitation, and whatever but we both know they are failing.

You're saying their meant to fail, which is a lot different than what i'm saying

''Intended to fail'' This is lowbrow conspiracy nonsense.

No authority wants homeless people on their streets. If there was a magical solution then they would be all over it. The trouble is it takes so much money and time to help the homeless, and it is very hard to implement it.

No government or authority likes homeless people. Even governments who do not give a f*** about the lives of people. They do not want homeless people on their streets. It creates crime, looks bad on the community, and prevents outsiders and tourism to the area. There is no benefit for an authority to make up an imaginary scheme for homeless people they they intend to fail just so they can say they tried.

I mean if you watch the video you also realize he's pretty much a social worker because of how LA makes their cops responsible for skids row.

find an alternative. being a landlord is unethical.

homes would likely be built before the abolition of the profit motive entirely, but i don't fundamentally believe that profit is what drives humans.

profit drives nations not people. the more profit for a nation the better the nation becomes.

"profit" (remuneration) is what incentivises labour though, your comment makes no sense

everyone would love to spend their 40 hours a week on finding their "purpose" - unfortunately this doesn't put food on the table

because we've set it up that way, not because its an inherent fact of the world

i think it is inherent that you have to provide people incentives to do productive thing A when they would rather do unproductive thing B

only if that profit is distributed in a certain way. but you can still have a prosperous nation when the labor isn't based on a profit motive.

exactly this lol

it’s that simple

why tf would anyone work if they aren’t getting any incentive for doing it lol
