You Get More of What You Pay For
17th December 2025
Today I ran across an idiot on Twitter talking about how Elon Musk could eliminate homelessness by giving his money to all the homeless.
And then the movie Dan had on was about how this woman wanted to make enough money to eliminate homelessness in LA.
Guys? Seriously?
How many millions do cities like LA and San Francisco plow into homelessness? How much money have cities like Denver spent on the homeless.
What have they got for it? That’s right. more homelessness. Which is absolutely logic.
You get more of what you pay for.
But if I must explain the mechanism, it is this: when you create “homeless services”, like free health care, and shelter and clothing (well, Denver was doing all of that at one point) you will attract more homeless.
