A consultant known for urging cities to stop enabling homeless people, in part by blocking charities from handing out food, has been tapped to lead the agency that coordinates the federal governments response to homelessness.
Robert Marbut, who has worked with several cities, including Fresno and several other California cities and counties, would succeed Matthew Doherty as executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness.

(63,221 posts)can get free food from charities? What an ignorant, heartless asshole! What is wrong with these people?

It wouldn't surprise me if they just rounded them all up and executed them, considering the fact that they don't even consider them to be human.
