  Just a statement about how we have the resources readily available yet unobtainable to some.

  It’s a critique on capitalism, where we have the technology and products to improve our quality of life but restrict access to them for a considerable percentage of humas. You’re welcome.

    Even in a utopian communist society there would be showrooms for products, to help people select what best meets their sleep/medical needs. Those beds would be unused too.

    It is a separate issue, that the showroom is not responsible for, that resulted in a homeless person not having a bed.

    Systemic issues have systemic solutions. If you try to apply a local solution to a systemic problem, you just kicked the can. (As in, letting homeless people use the showroom beds).

      The systemic solution is not a utopian communist society, but a system which provides beds for those who need it. The picture highlights this problem.This is not a critique on the showroom, or the store owner (which is how you interpreted it), this is a critique on society. You were the one who muddied the waters. The point is not “letting homeless people use the showroom beds” but rather “letting homeless people use beds”.

        Considering we have multiple people suggesting that the homeless person should, in fact, be allowed to sleep in that bed, I think that a lot of people are interpreting it that way.

        I didn’t muddy anything. I handled multiple points. The second point in my comment is the one you are discussing.

        Further, it is not “another argument” fallacy when “capitalism” is written on the photo. The prominent differing economic model is communism or like systems, where needs are systemically met before profits are considered. So it is implied one can discuss other economic models by the presence of “capitalism” in the source material.

    “kids”

    You are not superior for not having empathy for homeless people

    • fosforus@sopuli.xyz ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Do you think the homeless need your empathy?

        I certainly think they will get nothing if people don’t have empathy for them.
