If they want the benefits of a highly capitalist society, paying customers, they have to deal with the fallout of a highly capitalist society: a large and unassisted homeless population
They aren't getting these because of the homeless. The whole area is becoming completely void of businesses and the buildings are completely falling apart. Your argument goes the same for the homeless. If they want the benefits of society they get the good and the bad with it as well.
The argument that the homeless benefit from dog eat dog capitalism and the society that we pretend exists around it is so terrible that you should consider taking a time out from posting for your own mental health.
no one benefits from dog eat dog capitalism but the most wealthy, homeless people the least
You get the good and the bad is the previous posters argument. Not mine.
You're saying it applies to people who have basically nothing. If you don't understand how ridiculous an argument that is, you should take a moment to consider it.
So you agree.
I definitely don't agree with you.
You should reread what you are arguing.
You should read what you're arguing (perhaps for the first time).
You are wrong. I'm done talking with someone who jumped into someone else's argument and doesn't know what they are even agreeing with.
Ok then someone should hire the homeless to clean up, those business owners could pool their money and offer food and they'd have a nicer area after
