"Most natural fragrances are actual drugs that have significant potency."

Most fragrances aren't natural. At least not here in the US. The balance might be different in the EU where they are much more willing to ban compounds on the basis that they are probably carcinogenic.

Oh and mechanics .. we'll certainly need more of those (median $25 an hour jobs) when we switch to EVs?

Do you have any clue how many car repair jobs involve the engine, or the emissions system, or the fuel system? Those jobs are going away. There's never been a worse time to become a mechanic in the history of the automobile.

If anything, this supports my point that homelessness doesn't necessarily mean "no roof above head and no access to a shower and toilet", in other words, you don't necessarily need a house to have access to those.

Just because you have an RV doesn't mean you have access to those things. A lot of those RVs people are living in are beat to shit. In order to use the toilet you need access to dump and you also need a water supply. In order to access dump or refill water you need money for fuel so you can move the vehicle, or you need someone to allow you to park on their property and let you use the hookup. Etc.

Trust in America's elite universities has declined sharply over the past decade

Yeah, so has trust in America's electoral process. Except what you find is that the reason that's happened is the deliberate sowing of lies from the same people who then went on to say they had to do bad shit because people didn't trust the electoral process.

Yes, the fast-track process (where it exists) takes these specific circumstances into account and gives the landlord a "yes" or "no" answer to the question of whether the tenant should be evicted without requiring a lengthy court process.

This is exactly like denying due process to non-citizens. Not only is it wrong to do to anyone, but you don't know whether it makes sense without the court process. That's the whole reason why the court process exists.

houselessness doesn't necessarily mean homelessness: motorhomes are an option for some people

Every government in the US considers people living in motorhomes to be homeless.

That's kind of the point: these policies, like almost every other so-called liberal policy, have enriched and protected the criminal at the expense of everyone else.

Great, now go back and do the policies which enrich and protect the oligarchs at the expense of everyone else, like the Republicans constantly giving the rich tax breaks, or opposing raising the contribution cap on Social Security.

not only have these policies enabled criminals to rob a corporation blind, they have robbed society at large of something even more important but less tangible. Trust.

No one should trust a system where it makes more sense for people to loot a retail aisle than work for a living, but you're here waving flags for it. Cuck.
