No problem; just double the homeless folks' taxes

"'At wits' end': Portland sees exodus of families, chased out by city's growing homeless camps".

What did the leftists who run - and make up most of the population - think was going to happen as a result of their misguided policies? Is there a technical, psychological term that indicates an inability to connect cause and effect? "Stupid" comes to mind, as does "myopic".

They 'think' Causes do not produce effect.
That, and anybody who has a problem with their policies is a brainwashed Foxnews drone.

I have to assume that this is the intended result. But why, you ask? I don't know, I can only speculate. But just as with the Biden admin and inflation or energy prices or the collapsed border, asking the question will only bring a denial that the "problem" actually exists in the first place.

I suppose this might be Cloward-Piven at work. Other than that, why do progressives deliberately cause and exacerbate a crisis?

Possibly Cloward-Piven, possibly Dunning-Kruger. In all probability, both.

The first rule of Dunning-Kruger Club is:

You don't know you're in Dunning-Kruger Club.

I just looked up the history of the Dunning-Kruger Club.

It's true, Joe Biden was one of the founding members.

My only response to refugees leaving Portland is: Don't come here.
