Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Love watching pilot program after pilot program determine over and over and over that UBI is an unambiguous positive that does not ruin economies or neighborhoods or lives and everyone nods and goes "wow, cool, interesting" and then does fucking nothing until the next pilot program 15 years later
This is literally every problem
Boomers rant against UBI because they would be getting money from the government they don't need and don't understand that determining whether they need it is more expensive

Broken record territory rapidly approaching, but once again: Homelessness is not a societal inevitability. It's a policy failure.
This is a solvable issue with a known solution, even under capitalism, because that solution is less expensive than the current responses.
We just don't want to do it.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.
