i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues.
For example:

Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $

Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $

Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

I didn't know what was coming and it got me first and on the repeat

Not even that, having the idea is the easy part, it's the process of sitting with them that makes you realise most of those ideas are bad or someone has already done them.

Now I'm not saying that they have been underpaying their security, so if there was ever a time.

The people are not the problem in this metaphor but the system itself, especially one that allows these companies to accumulate and misappropriate these funds. It's not that they should redelegate these funds to housing but what makes them lucrative, creates homelessness

Also you house these people, that covers their housing not their food, employment not complex needs in the case of mental illness, potential substance issues, disability, all of which may push them towards homelessness again. It's very much trying to empty a bathtub while leaving the tap on.

It's also not just about the money but the conditions that create the homelessness in the first place. If you were to commit $20 billion a year of private money towards homelessness you would begin to see the costs rise year to year with profit motive etc (this applies to NGOs too).

Even stepping away from trans voices. Listen to Australian music, so much singing training is about separated yourself from your accent and vocal ticks. Very few people end up singing the way they talk.

It's less the idea vocal training, I know two brilliant vocal coaches who are conscious of these issues, but more the ways in which societal norms will just poison the well and what is being 'refined' can easily end up being perfectly fine expressions that aren't idealised within the culture.

I mean they also trained out working class and ethnic accents (as they did in the UK hence the coining of the term BBC English). Resulting in the strengthening of classed/racialised/gendered linguistic hierarchy. (Women presenters and politicians will lower their pitch and tone).

I don't know man, participation implies he at least tried to secure peace.
