Not A Fan
don't avoid the void

Note: this doesn't have much a point to it and is basically just a disjointed rambling opinionated outburst. But I bet I'm not the only person here to go down this thought hole...
Many jurisdictions within the United States are outright hostile towards homeless people. The US Supreme Court just presented a big shiny new weapon for various cities' "Wars on Homeless People."
It's interesting. People have no problem with all manner of awful treatment of the homeless. Cite them, arrest them, re-locate them, institutionalize them, saddle them with legal fees and criminal records, chase them out of town, kick them while they sleep, pay them to fight each other on camera, treat them like pestilent animal vermin, deny them access to toilets only to bemoan the presence of exposed human feces, and so on and so forth, lamenting their parasitic existence which is such an inconvenience and eyesore to the civilized among us, why should we have to spend money on their food stamps and medical treatments and houses... (but never any complaints about the $40,000+/year it costs to house one prison inmate... that is seen as a worthwhile investment.
And yet if someone just says, "I don't want to be homeless. I want to CTB instead." Then all hell breaks loose, you're a hazard to yourself and others and must be restrained and punished for even saying the wrong word. It just doesn't seem right. If you are going to back homeless people into such a corner, and then not even condone them voluntarily opting out from the hellish conditions they have been forced into... that just seems like so over-the-top sadistic I have a hard time even believing a person/people could be so knowingly vicious (obviously slightly in denial then.)
If you're seriously going to only offer the majority of people the choice between: (1) sub-poverty full-time wage slavery, and (2) homelessness... it's not much different than any other situation where an animal realizes it is cornered with no possibility of escape.
Yes, I plan on ending my life in order to avoid being homeless (among many other equally good reasons). If one's priorities in life include "avoiding egregious pointless suffering," then this is the obvious, rational and gentlest choice.
