Yes homeless are living it right now.

|
|
^ living the dream?
|
|

I’d take in some cute homeless ladies..... if there were any.

This is what's screwed up with our federal institutions now.
Judges are supposed to interpret the law and let elected officials make law.
Now Judges think they can bypass the systems and make law.

GBD, yes living the dream but originally I made typo as usual and meant to say LOVING IT!!!
|
|
|
I’m all for helping the misfortunate but there are working families who need the help and support more, the system is so fucked up.

Let them live in Angels Stadium.
Even if the season starts, they won't let fans in anyway.
Teach the homeless to clap and cheer.
|
|
|
^ Not in my season seats!

I remember that because they were spraying bleach all over downtown. It was just pushing the homeless away from downtown and into areas they weren’t before.
|
|
|
Yes that’s very true and it’s crazy how if they were just doing these things before it could have been prevented.

$6M per year Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson does a misleading spot on his show about how local government has decided to deal with homeless public health because of COVID-19 by spinning it as a "working class" vs the "homeless" and the Fox cult lemmings eat it up!!!!
Maybe they want you to keep punching down so you don't look up and realize who is really screwing over the common citizen.
PSST.. it is Tucker and his powerful friends.

Yeah, COVID-19 is fake news. It's just the sniffles.
If the Trumpanzees want to self-euthanize themselves, it is going to be hard to win in November.

@Granite +1
Too bad there aren't more people who act like the homeless.
The homeless do as they please. The don't wear masks, gather in groups
and don't social distance. And the govt doesn't do squat.

"Democrat & Republican are more like gangs than political parties. You hate each others without ever k owing each other, won't talk to each other, happy when some one of opposite party suffer. "
The deep division started when Obama became President and many Republicans couldn't get over the fact we had a black man as President. Republican members of Congress refused to vote for anything he wanted. They were hell bent on trying to make him a one term President. People took inaction out on the Democrats and gave Republicans the majority.
Trump came office 8 years later, stoking the Republican negative sediments putting down minorities, religious group (muslims), want to build a wall with Mexico, saying an American congress women should leave the country etc... Since Trumps has become President he has played hard on those divisions and instead of trying to bring American together for 3 years he tried to push people apart. Then the coronavirus came and hit America and the response to the crisis has been pure chaos from the White House. With a President who is ill equipped to deal with a crisis. How can this President bring people together and lead during a national, yet world wide crisis, when all he has done is try to push people apart for his entire politician life?

The homeless crisis is a clear result showing that the so called great economy we had before the virus crisis wasn't working for everyone. A lot of people with little education and low skills are are sort of pushed out of the digital economy. The rising rent cost in Los Angeles is one on the big reasons why so many have been forced to live in their cars and on the streets.

Let's keep homelessness in perspective.
Homeless people in the U.S. account for 0.17% of the total population....that's right, not even a half a percent, not even a quarter of one percent....not even 2 tenths of a percent....
Yep, that is a national failure...oh wait....
California accounts for about 12% of the nation's population but over 27% of the homeless...that's correct 2.25 times the rate based upon population.
Only Washington D.C. and New York state have higher rates.....
And even worse, 47% of the people who are living on the streets are living in California....
Sounds like a failed STATE, and a FAILED New York State...not a national failure.
And again 0.17% of the total population.....
Damn, those statistics sure fuck up the narrative......
|
|
|
Yes, 99.83% of the U.S. population is NOT homeless......
But it is a national crisis and total national failure........
|
|
|
Its sort of a combination the individuals fault and societies fault.
|
|
|
The problem with the homeless issue is that most people don't even know what the homeless people want.....there are thousands of them who don't want to live in shelters...there are thousands of them with addiction issues.....there are thousands with mental issues......
Obviously, there are those who really just need some help securing jobs and getting out of their crisis. But our mental health system, addictive behavior treatment process have major problems, but that is a local issue and a state issue...NOT a national issue.
|
|
|
^^^exactly....it is a local issue that needs local solutions.....
|
|
|
If there was an easy solution the problem would be solved.
There is also a very strong mental health component to many of the cases which makes it hard. You can get someone help and the they go back to being homeless again.
|
|
|
I have a solution in two words...

I think there are alot of homeless in CA who are not even native citizens but transplants from other states.
One of the recent problems in many South OC communities is the recent phenomenon of private rehabilitation homes in your own neighborhood. People come from out of state to CA and shackup in a house around the corner for 90 days. The landlord makes bank compared to renting to a typical family.
But where do they go after that? Is there a strict relocate plan to origin or are they released to "go find a job" and "start your new life"

When you are talking about California, homelessness and mental health there is really only one villain. Ronald Reagan.

Aren't there plenty of vacant beds in nursing homes now?
3 hots and a cot with some CV19, no charge

Mental health and health issues in general are NOT for the Feds. Read your Constitution...Feds are too involved in wrong stuff .

"The deep division started when Obama became President and many Republicans couldn't get over the fact we had a black man as President."
Were you born when Obama got elected or something, as if there was no partisanship prior, what a dummy you are Doom Dood. If white people hadn't voted for Obama (including some Republicans), he wouldn't have won, that's a fact. You think he got carried by the 12% or whatever the black vote is.....whatever a black vote is, lol. How in the hell do you count mixed race people anyway, shit Obama is half white.
Guess you forgot about Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Bush twice, Clinton impeachment, etc etc
It was just as bad then as it is now, geez....what a weak mind

^Mental issues are a big problem in LA here is an example right here^
|

Here we are. A country that is a first world super power with a technologically advanced military and an ambition to go to Mars with millions of dollars being spent. Sports stars and movie stars who make millions. What the fuck is wrong here?!?!? We can't even care for our own fucking homeless people. Our country's priorities are so fucked up.

KissMeLucky, I couldn’t agree with you more.
Marcus Aurelius, almost two thousand years ago wrote “Poverty is the mother of crime”.
Homelessness is going to paid for by society, whether we like it or not. We can pay to help them or
we can pay ten times as much to house them in a prison or hospital.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy solution. But, doing nothing and looking the other way isn’t helping anyone.

@jazz51 you have brought up many strong points and facts.

Wow? Seriously? No comment.

^^ yes that was a comment

A lot of rich kids use drugs n commit suicide too not just homeless I think categorizing ruined this world . People need to be individually able to live categorizing doesn’t make sense to me and isn’t fair or doesn’t really tell you much. Like yes you could have 10 bottles of black sparkly nail polish but just because it’s black n sparkly doesn’t tell u anything. Maybe it dries sticky and another dries smooth never know

The fault lies with the state (meaning any state) not utilizing their tax dollars for the treatment of mental illness and drug addiction also the prescription mills and pharmaceutical companies to a great degree.
Now let's talk about a train to no where and how it's never going to be finished and where the money would have been better spent.

^^^What???
