I don’t have a comment on the law, but the logic in the headline is just stupid.
You can make a law requiring the lawns to have grass neatly arranged and you will create millions of jobs of people going through lawns with a fine comb and billions in investment to optimize and automate it.
“Creating” jobs and investment via regulation isn’t a positive in and of itself. In fact, it can be detrimental like the aforementioned example.
Remember when Republicans were angry that a oil company couldn’t build a giant oil pipeline and said, “He’s taking away jobs!” Totally ignoring that the pipeline would actually destroy jobs for truckers and everyone around that?
No point to the story I just wanted to share that.
While republicans are laser focused on drag queens and trans bathrooms.
What good is having housing if you don’t have a job to pay rent?
Plenty of jobs don’t require a stable address. It’s a small ask to provide a PO box for homeless people.
Unless I’m mistaken, employers specifically avoid employing homeless people, and having a PO box instead of a street address is a pretty strong clue that you’re homeless.
you’re mistaken. I’ve had a PO box for 30+ years and maybe 5 different employers in that time period. Admittedly anecdotal but I’ve never had an employer ask me about the PO box.
True, but fixing that is way easier than somehow housing all the homeless people
In 2022, there were about 582,462 homeless people living in the United States, compared to 580,466 in 2020. Within the provided time period, the highest number of homeless people living in the United States was in 2007, at 647,258.
Giving the industry something to do is good for the economy?! Weird … /s
