A Nation of Fundamental Contradictions

In this episode I go into some recent news around homelessness including the shift in the federal department for housing and urban development away from housing first which has been show to work, Trump’s executive order to make it easier to involuntarily commit people on the street, and the 1,300 bed forced labor “accountability center” they are building in Utah where people experiencing homelessness will be interned for arbitrary periods of time. All of this s**t brings up other questions about just what we’re doing anyways when it comes to homelessness, the cancer of capitalism spreading into the public sector, and also a dash of hope for the future.
