Defund the Police vs Deputize the Social Workers

Tim argues from personal social work experience that empathy without action never fixes anything, proposing sarcastically that social workers should be armed and deputized instead of replacing cops.
- Tim criticizes government tax abatements for luxury condos in New York while homelessness persists.
- The absurdity of the 'ultra-luxury' real estate market: $20 million apartments aren't luxurious enough until they hit $50 million.
- Apartments in these buildings are bought by dictators, war criminals, and people with blood money.
- Social workers prioritize endless empathy and asking about feelings instead of taking concrete action.
- At some point you need force or action to move something—perpetual empathy accomplishes nothing.
- Tim's proposal: replace social workers with more cops, not the other way around.
- Counter-marches should demand replacing social workers with more police, not defunding police.
- Deputize the social workers—the unsuccessful ones, the women, the unsuccessful Jewish guys with guns.
