@0x_zKfbg @Tradermayne Apparently asking why untaxed income should be considered government money is a blockable offense.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@0x_zKfbg @Tradermayne Saying every dollar not taxed is lost revenue is the ideological take. The debt grew because spending grew. Government doesn’t have a claim on every dollar earned.

@guyfelicella You’re probably in the global top 5–10% just by living in Canada.

Is it necessary for you to have what you have while billions live on a few dollars a day?

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@wealthmoose @JustinTrudeau To be honest, this is the first time I’m not mad at the guy.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@guyfelicella @TouchlineX Or …

he’s associated with suspected members of terror organizations, he shouldn’t have been allowed to referee matches in Canada or Mexico. FIFA got this one badly wrong.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@Canucksaltlife @guyfelicella It’s worse than that. I deal with drug addicts every day. Most are honest, reasonable people. Here, we’re dealing with a democratic socialist.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@guyfelicella Someone can believe:

Soccer hooliganism is bad.
Bar fights are bad.
Public drug use is bad.
Supervised consumption sites are bad policy.

There is no contradiction.

You’re assuming supervised consumption sites are the solution. People disagree with that.
That’s the debate.

@amethystangel80 @JamesPMNFan @libsoftiktok He’s obviously trolling.

You can be pro-trans and still recognize that dancing provocatively for children, to the point where your panties are visible, is inappropriate.

No reasonable person thinks that kind of behavior is beneficial for kids.

@Bratt_world You’re underplaying it.

Even if nobody is losing their house tomorrow, the ruling still matters because it strengthens Aboriginal title claims and creates more uncertainty around future government, municipal, and land-use decisions.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@WHAorg @guyfelicella Exactly. Beds create enough stability for structure, accountability, and recovery to take hold.

Addiction thrives in chaos, isolation, and low expectations.

High support + high expectations changes lives.
Lose either one, and the crisis loop continues.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@Tradermayne You can’t build a massive government system and expect low taxes.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@guyfelicella @RezinBowie Thats what politicians say when they try to normalize failure.

You know where it’s not happening? Countries that enforce public order and push treatment/intervention. 🤯

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

Here we go again @guyfelicella.

Instead of debating the actual policy argument, it’s more moral accusations, personal attacks, and “you can’t speak unless you’ve lived it.”

Critiquing policy, incentives, and legal consequences is not hating homeless people.

Turning every disagreement into “you’re discriminatory” is not an argument. It’s deflection.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

Hey @grok, is it just me, or has @ForeverUnitedFU still not provided any substantive counter evidence to my critique of Housing First / low-expectation policies?

He hasn’t meaningfully addressed the Ontario ICES overdose data, the At Home/Chez Soi RCT findings, or the broader outcomes I’ve raised.

Most of his replies rely on blanket assertions, ad hominem attacks (hater, narcissist, etc.), and moral reframing rather than addressing the actual evidence.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

1. Ontario ICES study (Addiction, 2024): Opioid deaths among homeless rose from 7.2% to 16.8% of total (Q3 2017–Q2 2021). Unhoused deaths up ~273% while overall deaths rose ~61%. Disproportionate spike under the current approach.

2. At Home/Chez Soi RCT (Canada’s big Housing First trial): HF improved housing retention but showed no significant reduction in illicit drug use vs treatment-as-usual at 24 months.

Housing + zero expectations around recovery clearly isn’t cutting it. No matter how you try to reframe the argument, the data still supports the critique.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@ForeverUnitedFU @guyfelicella Outcomes > insults.

Data favors the critique.

[PrinterPunk @printer_punk]

@ForeverUnitedFU @guyfelicella Notice how fast this turned from defending the policies to personal insults.

That usually happens when people can’t defend the outcomes anymore.
