Regarding government programs, conservatives look at results whereas liberals consider only intentions--and in this case, people die:
San Francisco launched a “bizarre medical experiment” in which the city helps the homeless use illegal drugs. Environmental and urbanization writer Michael Shellenberger notes that since the pandemic began, the city has lost twice as many residents to drug overdoses than to COVID.
“The city is carrying out a bizarre medical experiment whereby addicts are given everything they need to maintain their addiction — cash, hot meals, shelter — in exchange for . . . almost nothing,” Shellenberger reports in a Substack column...
Despite promises in January from “progressive” Mayor London Breed to “put an end to all the bullshit destroying our city,” her own government is running “a supervised drug consumption site in United Nations Plaza"...
Someone with “firsthand knowledge” of what’s going on at Linkage texted Shellenberger to describe the scene: “What’s happening is that everyone that comes in gets a meal, can use the bathroom, gets drug supplies (needles, foil, pipes), and signs up for a ‘housing assessment.’ But there’s no housing. So nothing happens. They just get added to a list.”
The city is handing out everything but the drugs themselves.
Support people's drug habits and you'll get plenty of people to do drugs. How anyone could think otherwise amazes me, but I don't think like a leftie.
You owe it to yourself to read the whole thing--because crazy ideas don't stay confined to the Democratic People's Republik of Kalifornia.
