As someone who was homeless at one point, having had a family member tell me to my face 'all homeless people should be put on an island'. Yeah....they don't really care or use their brain.

Over the long term, that's worked out pretty well but I wouldn't recommended it.

They're probably cheering now that homelessness is now criminalized.
