Soros gets blamed not because he is a democratic billionaire, but because he's a [[[certain kind]]] of democratic billionaire.

But would he really hope for half spears?
One of my favorite stats to pull out in regards to this:
What states have had the most votes for Trump (2016, 2020, 2024)?
| Texas | 16,968,991 |
| California | 16,572,025 |
| Florida | 16,396,742 |
You're right, a 100% fix of the problem is not simple or easy. But there's a whole lot of low-hanging fruit that we can tackle to make huge strides.
While drugs and/or mental illness may be involved in a high percentage of the chronically homeless, the chronically homeless only account for somewhere between 1/5 and 1/3 of all homeless. So housing the other homeless would still take care of the needs of ~80% of all homeless, give or take. Get single-payer healthcare up and running to prevent more people from ending up in those situations, and change from a retributive justice system to one that cares about rehabilitation, and suddenly we've got a society that actually cares about people, and would cost less to run while we're at it.
But, with a functioning safety net, people won't feel like they have no other choice but to work a shit job for shit wages, and the oligarchs can't have that.
Why is everyone fully clothed in that Oglaf strip?
StarCraft. Learn to type really quickly when you're coordinating a massive assault or calling for reinforcements.
FYI: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass.

My working memory is terrible. If I don't write something down, it's likely forgotten. I've always tried to keep a pen and paper on me, to varying degrees of success. Now, instead I can "Hey Google, add x to my grocery list" and it'll add it to my shopping list in Keep, or "... Create a reminder/alarm/event for..." for reminders to empty the dishwasher in 45 minutes or remember that I just agreed to plans on Saturday.
I'm not a huge fan of Google anymore, but I still willingly use their services because the tradeoff is that beneficial to me.
Same boat. Tools like this and Gemini make managing my ADHD sooooo much easier. Having a JARVIS-esque "AI personal assistant" would make a lot of my struggles less debilitating. I'd even be willing to pay, as long as the data stayed private.
Obligatory Patrice O'Neal retort:
"I do a lot of stuff to protect myself. I keep my receipts. I collect receipts 'cause that's a trail of where you been, man. Everywhere I go I get a receipt. And I never go more than a half hour without buying something cause you could kill somebody in a half hour, and then you need an alibi."
