Clearly you have never lived in a country where the picnic services and parks have been turned into shanty towns.
You should be pushing for more shelters not encouraging them to sleep on a subway bench.
Problem is that would require you to volunteer, donate, hit the pavement. And you guys just wanna sit at home and meme instead
More shelters would mean the subway benches stay because the government isn’t trying to solve the homeless problem by punishing them. And if the subway benches stay, they benefit everyone.
The meme is on your side and you’re still fighting it lol
They say “volunteer, donate” and “shelters” are the answer. That’s nothing but a band-aid. Yes, it can help with the immediate problem, but it’s never an actual answer. The answer is government programs to put homeless people in honest-to-god housing, not shelters.

Me, a lowly peon, glancing around my subway: “Damn, miss those benches.”
You, a CEO at Terminally Online Industries: “It’s your own fault for failing to single-handedly solve homelessness.”

The meme is not on their side, unfortunately.

Posting a meme like this and volunteering/donating are not mutually exclusive.
People being upset about their government punishing homeless people seems like it’s in the right direction.
We should be pushing for no homelessness. Not make life bad for everyone by removing infrastructure.
