What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Wouldn't this also chase away visitors and others? Not only the homeless?

They are only doing it at night. Even putting that aside, most visitors would probably be deterred more by the homeless.

So how do you explain places with less homelessness, like Scandinavia? Do they just have less stupidity?

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Probably because in those places when people are stupid, the government pays for their stupidity using taxpayer money.

It just means that some countries out there are willing to over-indulge people for their stupidity by punishing or placing the burden on the financially-responsible through higher taxes
Purgatio is an absolutist hereditary monarchy run as a one-party fascist dictatorship, which seized power in a sudden and abrupt coup d'état of 1987-1988, on an authoritarian eugenic and socially Darwinistic political philosophy and ideology, now ruled and dominated with a brutal iron fist under the watchful reign of Le Grand Roi Chalon-Arlay de la Fayette and La Grande Reine Geneviève de la Fayette (née Aumont) (i.e., the 'Founding Couple' or Le Couple Fondateur).

For a domestic Purgation 'propagandist' view of its role in the world, see: An Introduction to Purgatio.

And for a more 'objective' international perspective on Purgatio's history, culture, and politics, see: A Brief Overview of the History, Politics, and Culture of Le Royaume du Nettoyage de la Purgatio.

Yeah. It’s not like having lower crime and less homelessness is in everyone’s interest.

The Scandinavian nations have some of the highest living standards in this planet, Purg. However you might abhor the rich paying more to keep everyone else happy, healthy, and wise, their models tend to work for their peoples.

This is actually hilarious, in my opinion, especially after the thread yesterday about the U.S. government playing "Baby Shark" at Guantanamo Bay for torturing prisoners, which was fake, but this is actually real. It's crazy.

So, what do y'all think about this? Is this a valid and reasonable way to get the homeless out? What else could be done with "Baby Shark"?

Sounds exactly like the people who declare drug addiction and mental illness to be moral failures. Easier to blame homelessness on the subject than determine the exact circumstances.

"Fiscally-responsible." That's rich. Do you remember what the rich did to the US economy? If anything I'd trust the poor more.

Says 1,300. out of a population of 1.4 million.

As someone already mentioned to you, Scandinavia isn't doing any better than Florida. Again, you can't keep people from making the wrong decisions in life.

Do remember that Scandinavia is not just Sweden. There’s Norway and Denmark too.

That would be too much math for me on a sunday morning. But based on a very unscientific google search, it ain't better there.

But that is not the topic of the thread. How do we increase the cat population of south florida, is.
