How so?

The homeless drug addicts in SF get free hotel rooms with cigarettes and either booze or drugs delivered for free to their rooms to keep them from going outside. I believe these people would be executed in many countries or thrown in crummy jails to rot away out of sight, but go ahead and prove me wrong.

San Francisco’s health department confirmed Wednesday that the city was administering alcohol, tobacco, medical cannabis and other substances in an effort to prevent a handful of people quarantined or isolating in city-leased hotels from going outside to get the substances themselves.

Who's got it better than that?

I hate to sound disrespectful, but.... what is so maddening to me about BS statements like that is how do you explain we have a small countries worth of people here ILLEGALLY who came with nothing but the clothes on their backs, often after spending their life savings (maybe US$8,000 I've read) to get here?

OBVIOUSLY, tens of millions of NON US citizens PROVE they believe it is better to be here with NOTHING and face the wrath of ICE, police, etc. rather than stay in their home countries with all the money they could have saved paying "coyotes" for transport.
