Some others here have highlighted that “shelter services” is not the same thing as an actual shelter. People can’t stay as long as they want, they don’t have a secure place to store their belongings, and they can be dangerous. Here is a post with sources that outlines why permanent supportive housing is more cost effective than temporary overnight shelters
Lol are you inspired by Buckminster Fuller? Dome over Manhattan
Can you share sources about the idea that some people don’t desire shelter? My understanding is more that drugs or mental illness make it difficult to retain housing. Their behavior towards others and their inability to pay means they end up homeless, but seems like people universally want a roof over their heads. My understanding is that among professionals working in this area, the view is that having a place to live is the first step in addressing issues like drug abuse and mental health. I’m aware of one organization in Philadelphia, Project Home, that others view as a model.
I’m interested in actual approaches. Not saying I want to perpetuate capitalism, but asking how you would tackle the problem, and could be from the viewpoint of any of those entities.
I could see at a lower flagged hotel, but any full service property is going to have a manager on duty in addition to the rest of the staff. For example extremely unlikely to happen at a full Marriott, but maybe at a Residence Inn
Yeah why are there any comments taking this seriously? Not that it couldn’t be true, but the linked site talks about prayer being the reason the satellites are going down, and how non human entities are attacking us.
What do you use for spreadsheets, libreoffice? I could see not liking a specific program but I love a spreadsheet and use them constantly. I use libre for ideological reasons but don’t find it as convenient for certain tasks as excel or google sheets.
That world isn’t a better place. The problem with violence is who decides when it’s used, and why it’s used.
I don’t want politicians I support (who in my view are taking reasonable, legal actions) to be assaulted by opponents. It’s why we have due process, so that it’s not just a case of “we have a mob big enough to do this”.
Quartering? That’s awful. Violence or detainment should not be used as punishment or to inflict pain, only to prevent future harmful actions.
Yeah, I guess it is kind of an old phrase. Basically something a more conventional or conservative person might say about something that’s impractical/naive/overly idealistic. You can imagine like a 60s American dad saying it about tie dye kids
I’m a fan of the concept. Two notes:
While the name has noble intentions, it’s a horrible choice in terms of conveying “this is a respectable institution and you should hire this person.” Obtaining the knowledge should be enough, but we all know part of why we choose the educational institutions we do is to help get a job, and some schools are viewed more favorably than others. “University of the People” sounds hippy dippy and fake.
Second, if you like this model you might consider looking at Western Governor’s University. It’s regionally accredited (ie. the kind you want), online, and the name seems like it would be more appealing at first glance to employers.
Realizing we’re talking about an imaginary world here, but in some cases probably appropriate not to discuss sensitive matters when you don’t know who is within earshot of the communicator
Yeah you’re right, I’ve been grinding like crazy (having as many offspring as possible)
Yeah, not sure what’s up with that. Here are the working links as best I can tell:
Lastly this link did seem to work but I thought the statistics and the FAQ were helpful.–
