This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"moving the homeless to a warmer city" is not a solution to a policy problem...
No, it’s a temporary solution. When local governments can’t provide temporary housing, like shelters, and the weather is below freezing, they sometimes opt to bus the homeless to cities where it is warmer.
It was unusual to see Texas take the opposite approach to the migrant situation and bus them to cities where it was colder during winter. Then again, those weren’t American citizens, and it was a different situation than busing American homeless people. I don’t know. I just think that no one deserves to freeze to death on the street, in any country.
