I agree that all welfare should be stopped - it is entirely unnecessary. Naturally it would simultaneously be made possible for everone to feed, shelter and warm him/her self. As it is anyway, the Universe gives everyone the absolute right to use just sufficient land to maintain themselves till death, then of course someone else can use it. I have absolutely no problem with this.

Ok let’s say you give everyone 2 acres of land that’s enough to grow food and have some live stock. Then what? Most people would not know what to do or how to farm the land and raise livestock. Do you know the failure and death rate of the pioneer generation of the 1800's?

I don't think he is literally suggesting removing all support just making the point that welfare in its broadest sense is what holds society together.
Or I could be wrong and he is a sociopath..
So I suggest we remove all safety nets in society. All of them.

The phenomenon is exactly what it claims to be: people snapping photos of themselves posing with homeless people. Sometimes, these photos are proper selfies, captured by the subject of the photos; more often, they're simply portraits shot by some unnamed photographer. Sometimes, they feature subjects posing with a smiling homeless person; more often, the posing occurs without the consent of the individual in question.
These images are common, it's worth noting, only in the sense that there are enough instances of them to populate a Tumblr.
They are also, it's needless to say, profoundly sad.
