“Mr Giuliani’s bankruptcy creditors had previously filed a motion to compel him to sell his condo — the former mayor said he needs it to keep him off the streets and recording his podcast”
You mean homesteads aren’t exempt from bankruptcy? Looks like you picked the wrong state to live in Rudy. Oh, and don’t forget to show up to jail after they take your home. It’s illegal to be homeless in Florida. Ahhhh, what a wonderful state!
Not only that, Giuliani specifically was very invested in making life as difficult as possible for the homeless during his time as mayor.
I would like to think that a vengeful God with some dark humor might put him in front of a judge arguing about it in person, so that the judge could have a chance to make the point to him while his own personal precious balls are in the vice he was so happy to construct for others.
"Well, that shouldn't be a problem. Surely there are extensive services available for the homeless to help them get back on their feet. I'm sure you'll be fine."
"No? Well, what if they lost their living situation as a result of criminal proceedings? Are there special exemptions to allow them to avoid homelessness in cases like that, or for leniency in the cases against them?"
"I'm surprised. I would have thought that it's such a basic human right that some provision would have been made."
"Oh well. Well, you would know better than I would; I think you were in government at one time and dealt with the policies yourself."
"I understand that, Mr. Giuliani, but we do have other cases."
"Bailiff? Could you remove him? I think our interaction is pretty much completed."
His best buddy Trump is a real estate genius. The best ever at doing real estate. Maybe he can find Rudy a corner in the totally real rooms that make his Manhattan penthouse 30,000 sq. feet instead of the actual 11,000. The extra space is imaginary, but then so is their friendship because Trump only loves Trump and Rudy is finding that out.
Yes, that's how things work: if you can't pay your bills, you can be forced to sell stuff. I'm sure there are any number of homeless people who also felt it was unfair to lose their homes. And a lot of them lost their homes through medical debt or simple bad luck, not from deliberately trying to overthrow our system of government.
I genuinely truly hope this is the really message that gets picked up and repeated. It is their exact fucking logic for why they show no empathy for the less fortunate -’ they must have done something to put themselves there.’ Cuz it really doesn’t fucking matter that it is Rudy, literally ANY other politician and entitled wealthy jackals would say. The problem is their toxic hypocrisy that costs people their lives.
There’s a disconnect here: you assume that merit is based upon actions… and it is, for the egalitarian outlook.
An authoritarian outlook assumes merit based on status. As in, ‘if you have status it is due to your intrinsic worth’. Rich people deserve it… because they are rich. It makes my eyes cross and is gut-wrenchingly frustrating, but about 25% of humans lean this way it seems.
If I’d believe for a second that he might actually end up homeless I’d say “and making anyone homeless for any reason is a bad thing”. But I don’t. And it’s not empathy for him anyway, I just care about the principle of not throwing people into the streets.
Yeah and I mean, I agree with you, but he can get a shitty hole in the wall apartment, he doesn’t need a multi-million dollar condo to not be homeless.
