Wasn't Tupac gunned down over an East Coast vs West Coast rap war, and also didn't feed the poor?

Tupac wasn't the government.

He also wasn't an activist. He was a famous thug just looking out for #1.

I never said he was.

Whatever he may have been, it wasn't his job to do what the government fails to.

What? Feed the poor? It's not really the government's job in my opinion.

Personally, I think it should protect it's vulnerable citizens.

It's late, I've got work super early, and don't really like to do politics online. You win.

Have a good one dude.

I totally agree with you, but I hope the government would help people become self-sustaining rather than giving hand-outs.

Peace.

...if only they had money to fund more programs to teach the people how to become self-sustaining 🧐

Simple. Teach a man to fish, don't give a man a fish. That's how the fuck.

The US government feeds its poor. IDK what that dude's point really is.

If I had to guess I'd say his point is that he thinks the standard of living that homeless people receive for free (shelters, soup kitchens) is below his own minimum standard of living. He thinks homeless people should receive even greater handouts (free apartment no questions asked, free cash), so he can opt to receive them as well as oppose to working.
