Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Yea, the unearned confidence really irks me. Someone told me homelessness is a function of government spending as if it was a fact and I wanted to shoot myself
Isn't that technically true for a capitalist government though? Government spending on anticommunist propaganda, support for landlords, and police forces contributes to homelessness.
Yea, as the other commenter said, they meant the opposite
Yes, but you know they meant it was because welfare makes people lazy and/or having minimum safety standards for structures means housing supply is low
