Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So... displace all the people who already live on the aircraft carrier (making them homeless) and make our military budget have to be much more bloated by spreading out the workforce across DC or the country and we'll solve homelessness?
Because I don't live near a port or The Pentagon and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of homeless people here.
something tells me the people *stationed* on the carrier also have homes (or could afford them with all the money the government doles out for them). and i didn't say it was a panacea, just that it's something he could do to address the record homelessness.
Oh, well, as long as something tells you that they could afford a home, then that must be true.
i have pretty good intuition.
all evidence to the contrary.
this is rhetoric, not a rebuttal
it's a fact, and if you can't rebut it, it means you've lost the argument.
how's that for rhetoric?
it's pure rhetoric. you still haven't substantiated a claim that there is any evidence i don't have pretty good intuition.
you have presented plenty of your own evidence for that claim
Sure. You and Trump.
this is some pretty ham-fisted pigeonholing
It's not "ham-fisted pigeonholing" when both you and he believe you know things without looking them up.
facing the consequences of your actions in not a state of victimhood.
and how would cramming a bunch of homeless people on an aircraft carrier help them? it's not really designed to house civilians. and what would they do for work? there's not exactly a transit system to get them to and from jobs, medical appointments, necessary social services, etc. They'd be stuck on the ship.
you should look into what life on an active naval vessel is like-- it's not exactly conducive to either civilian life nor to taking care of a bunch of homeless people who have complex social, psychological, and medical needs. this wouldn't solve any problems and owuld create a lot of new ones-- not to mention that we need those aircraft carriers.
if being in ship is not a workable solution, he could always sell the ship to fund programs to relieve homelessness
it's pretty telling that you can't simply imagine a solution where more money is appropriated to fund such programs rather than the absurd notion of selling of critical military hardware.
Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie aren't too far away from you. The Ohio River as well.
