Voyager 1 Reaches Interstellar Space
letxa2000 writes "CNN is reporting that Voyager 1, now some 8.4 billion miles (90 AUs) from the sun, has left the solar system and entered interstellar space by reaching the heliopause. However, whether the probe has reached the heliopause or is just coming close is the subject of two papers to be published in Thursday's Nature Magazine. The probe supposedly has enough nuclear fuel to last until 2020. Will it be able to find anything interesting outside the solar system in the next 17 years?"
You idiot. The homeless don't make 45K a year. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
If you were homeless, and wanted help, it's out there. Noones going to build you a 200,000 home and hand you the keys, but if you need a mailing address, a shower and shave, a hot meal, and clean clothes to get yourself a job - you could do so.
Absolute nonsense. Stop watching Fox news and go outside and TALK to actual homeless persons and you'll get a different picture.
The problem is EXACTLY, PRECISELY about not caring. This "they deserve it" and "should just get a job" nonsense is exactly that. It's FUD created so conservatives can feel better about sucking the economy dry and screwing everyone over.
The reason mentally ill persons cannot be forced into homes, as you assert, is because they were pushed out of mental institutions in the 80s by your special buddies Ronald Reagan and George Bush to "save money" so THEIR special buddies could steal it and use it fund their quest for Christian Conservative Capitalist World Domination.
