social safety net

Fox News personality Tucker Carlson angered many viewers after he suggested policymakers should simply banish unhoused people from society, claiming social services encourage homelessness and threaten the American nuclear family.

Carlson suggested all unhoused people are drug addicts and accused them of undermining living standards for everyone else. He also criticized states like New York which recently opened the nation's first overdose prevention center, a move that's been highly lauded by harm-reduction advocates.
