It's time for change. We are a long, long way from revolution.
One person is not a revolution.
Yes. I'll be there in the middle of September.
A few hundred homeless people do not a revolution make (or a few thousand, or a few tens of thousands.) You can fantasize about it by the reality is that you end up dead or in prison if you try.
We need change, that is an absolute truth, but we are a long, long way from revolution.
I'll be fine.
I was thinking that I would go down to Save On for a sandwich.
I don't blame them either. However this problem exists in a country where homeownership sits over 60%. Many, many of them not in any proximity to homelessness. It'll require a lot more people on the bandwagon to get a significant change happen.
You know what's funny? I mentioned going down to Save On Meats to get a sandwich and you didn't even know that it had closed permanently during the pandemic. You were telling stories like you were from there and you were lying. You've probably never even been there. I have. I've walked those streets. My cousin works those streets. You're afraid of outrageous stories you've read online, probably in the extreme right wing echo chamber. How utterly fucking pathetic
I'm not even slightly angry. I'm quite happy, actually. I just landed in Vancouver.
Ill take that bet.
Ok...what's the timeframe? 1 year? Complete revolution, right? Violent overthrow of the government, not just a lone wolf or another street shitting inflatable hot tub tantrum doesn't count? $100. I'll provide the details for an online escrow service.
Are we betting or what? I offered you the bet. Are you actually going to take me up on the offer or were you simply talking out your ass? I've got $10 that says it was the latter.
