Municipalities would rather destroy homeless encampments with a large, expensive police action rather then attempt to fix the underlying issues. This causes more trauma, which leads to more drug use, which leads to more deaths. These deaths don’t seem to matter to them as long as they die in a convenient spot, out of sight from the ‘normal’ people shopping in the gentrified down town.
Australia is getting battered with storms rn with several people killed. Fights over tax cuts for the wealthy. Protests over Gaza and immigration policies. The largest specimen ever of the most venomous type of spider was found; it will now be used in a venom-milking program to help make antivenoms, because no matter what’s going on the tropes must be fulfilled.
