  1. Homelessness does not come under federal jurisdiction. It is a city responsibility.
    2
  2. It is just a common urban myth that they heard somewhere.
    2
  3. The capitalist system is not just American. All of the countries in the world use it, excepting only Cuba and North Korea.
    2
  4. Yes. It is difficult to be homeless when you are imprisoned in a reeducation camp. 🤷
    2
  5. They tried doing rent control in New York City and it caused tenement slums.
    2
  6. Under federal law you cannot consider race when hiring for a job or for housing. It has been the law in the United States for 60 years. There is no "systemic racism."
    2
  7. Weaponizing currency is not a fair term because we only use it against bank robbers.
    2
  8. In the middle are 346 million people living normally.
    2
  9. About one-third of the federal budget ($2 trillion) goes to social programs to help the poor. If it didn't, we would have tens of millions of homeless people like some other countries do.
    2
  10. Actually, we do have a socialist healthcare system. Someone has been lying to you. We started socialist healthcare in 1963.

  11. Get a roomate.
    1
  12. We already have that. All of the homeless people and poor people get a debit card for food. You can use them at any grocery store.
    1
  13.  @sediiin7424  Of course it is true. I would not tell you something not true. I have one of the debit cards for my groceries.
    1
  14.  @sediiin7424  I have one of the food cards.

  15. Santa Fe, New Mexico.

  16. You can have capitalism and socialism concurrently. But the problem with socialists in the past is that those governments have always murdered huge groups of their own citizens. They have no moral compass.

  17. The United States does not "wage wars." We get involved in ongoing conflicts and stop them. Those buildings in China are not paid for and they are causing a real estate market collapse.

  18. The election is in November.

  19. Trickle down economics was not a failure. It actually worked very well and boosted the U.S. economy for many years. The failure comes along later. And it is really a result of so many Americans turning their back on God. When people turn their back on God, God makes them dumb. The Bible says that. We do have retirement for all workers. It is called Social Security retirement insurance. We also have IRA retirement savings accounts, and 401k company retirement accounts.

  20. Two-thirds of America's homeless people live with relatives. But when people are having mental health problems or drug and alcohol related problems, sometimes it is not possible.
    1
  21. Homelessness does not fall under federal jurisdiction. It is a city responsibility. And where are the people? 🤷
    1
  22. How can Europe be a colony of the United States when the United States started as a British colony? Stop lying. ✋️ Incidentally . . . Europe already has much more homelessness than this. Look it up.
    1
  23. We did not give any money to Zelensky. We gave money to the Ukrainian people. We did not give any money to Netanyahu. We gave money to the Israeli people. Stop lying. ✋️

  24. Having a homeless rate of 0.17% does not signal the "end of an empire."
    1
  25. Because the rent is higher than the welfare check. If they are getting one, they need to move to a state with lower rent.
    1
  26. @DitNg516  The amount of Social Security that a person gets is depending upon how much they have paid in over the years. 46% of Americans have a retirement savings account to supplement their Social Security check. Social Security only covers people who are disabled or retired. It does not cover healthy people who are able to work. Welfare only covers single women who have children. It does not go to people without children.

  28. We do not dream about you.

  29. Que Quieran

  30. No.
    1
  31. This is not a U.S. government responsibility. It is a city government responsibility. And the citizens themselves have a responsibility to do something.
    1
  32. No it is not.
    1
  33. We voted to help Ukraine and Israel. And when you are in trouble, we will vote to help you.
    1
  34. Americans do not want socialism. Our pockets are FULL of capital. Capital buys privilege. Americans live in the largest houses in the world. That is privilege
    1
  35. If it were not important, we would not do it.
    1
  36. You are mistaken. There is much homelessness in all countries of the world, including Europe and Russia. The statistics are published on the internet.
    1
  37. @AdelongloPrado  If you want to make lies and deny truth, that is between you and God. It is not my problem. I get my facts from actual real government published statistics. I do not get my facts from videos. The United States has 200,000 homeless people living on the streets -- not millions. I am not going to correct every country for you. You have a brain. Use it.
    1
  38. Yes we do. Do some checking. The world is much worse than this video.
    1
  39. Kamala Harris did not say that she will Make America Great Again. 🤷 🤷‍♀️
    1
  40. Actually, we are not. We are #47 in the world in homelessness. There are 146 countries in the world that are worse . . . and they are very, very much worse. They are terrible places to live.
    1
  41. You should learn more about South Africa. They cannot even keep their electricity on and all of the businesses are leaving the country.
    1
  42. Homelessness does not come under federal jurisdiction.
    1
  43. It is.
    1
  44. Rent control never works. It causes more problems than it solves.
    1
  45. Why is the war "unwinnable" ? Of course it is winnable.
    1
  46. I doubt if the American press knows about this.
    1
  47. The national total is 600,000.
    1
  48. No it is not.
    1
  49. We still have plenty of power left.
    1
  50. And the people.
    1
  51.  @barriewright2857  If the politicians do not do what the people want them to do, we vote them out. We elected a new president yesterday. The old guy is out.
    1
  52. In that case, you need to learn how to count and how to look up statistics on the internet. (And also change your username.)
    1
  53. Everyone who lives in the United States does not all live in Los Angeles.
    1
  54. Americans are opposed to having a welfare state.
    1
  55. It is in America.
    1
  56. We do not "lecture" to anyone. Stop lying.
    1
  57. World Trade Center attack. Look it up.
    1
  58. It is not the reality of the nation. It is the reality of Los Angeles.
    1
  59. We have not given any money to Zelensky.
    1
  60. This is not America. This is Los Angeles.
    1
  61. Los Angeles is not America. It is one city.
    1
  62. It is. But you have 360 million population and only 600,000 total homeless people. So it is not a large issue by percentage. Also the Constitution does not permit the federal government to have jurisdiction over homeless. The city government has jurisdiction over homeless.
    1
  63. The United States government spends $2 trillion a year on American citizens.
    1
  64. If we stop helping rebellions, that will leave people imprisoned in their own society. Leaving people imprisoned is not "great." It is coward.
    1
  65. That is just so much nonsense. China constantly bullies all of its neighbors, and anyone it does business with. And China is far being "more prosperous." 400 million Chinese people earn $1.80 a day. That exceeds the entire population of the United States. 🤷‍♀️
    1
  66. No it is NOT "the real America." This is only 120,000 people in one city out of 360 million people is 19,000 cities.
    1
  67. The government does not "give jobs." Private businesses give jobs.
    1
  68. Nothing in life is fair. God gives each person what they have earned.
    1
  69. The West is not "afraid of China." Stop lying. God is watching your lies.
    1
  70. Expecting the government to solve every problem is wrong. Los Angeles is filled with individual millionaires who should be solving this.
    1
  71. Presidents do not make our laws. Congress makes them. Any Congress could have reversed that any year they wanted to. They could do it this month.
    1
  72. Or you have to understand truth and know what you are talking about. 🤷‍♀️🤷
    1
  73. It is not a country that turns away from God. It is some people within that country.

  74. There is no use for your lying.
    1
  75. The median salary in the United States is $5500 per month.
    1
  76. Actually, you are completely wrong about these other countries. These homeless people do not work and they do not get a government check. They would expire in most foreign countries. Here in the United States, they can get food stamps and Medicaid, and go to food banks, and get clothes. And they can get handouts from Americans who can easily afford it. They would not get anything in a foreign country. They would not even have a tent.
    1
  77. There is no snow in Southern California.
    1
  78. Actually, the American Dream happens all over America every day.
    1
  79. The United States does not "wage wars." We get involved in already ongoing wars and stop them. ​ @kathylarson8876

  80. I would find someplace else for them other than the sidewalk.

  81. Correction: It is all over India.

  82. If anyone is worth fighting for, there will always be some risks involved.
    1
  83. Yes we do, and that is not a joke. We are dead serious about it.
    1
  84. When the billionaires die, they leave the money to their children. And you are right. They are heartless.
    1
  85. We did not give any money to Zelensky. We gave money to the Ukrainian people. Stop lying.
    1
  86. Interesting thought. If you look at old pictures from 1800s San Francisco, you see the White people living in tents. Gold Rush 1849.
    1
  87. Too cold.
    1
  88. Americans do not "make fun of other people."
    1
  89. The cost of real estate is going up and drug usage is spreading.

  90. @leonbxxhhxnc  Free health insurance (not healthcare) goes to anyone who is disabled, anyone whose income is at or below the poverty line, and anyone who is retired. Additionally, any visit to a hospital emergency room is free if you cannot afford to pay it. Then for working people, their company carries group insurance plans that they become a member of. This is private insurance from a corporation. Your company pays part of the insurance premium and you pay part of it. Then if none of that covers you, you can buy private health insurance directly. But it is the highest cost. The average national cost for private health insurance is $700 a month. The median monthly salary in the United States $5500 a month. On average, your private insurance cost would be around 13% of your income. In America, we do not expect everything to be free. We expect everyone to work and pay their fair share. Free is for disabled and retired who are not able to work. (And I might add that your own health insurance is not free either. You pay for it when you pay your taxes. 😃)

  94. It can be solved by somebody opening a private foundation and going around to wealthy people and taking donations to buy housing for them. The real problem is real estate prices are too high and there are too many drug dealers. But I would not count on fixing that anytime soon.

  95. No they have not.

  96. ​ @葉樹根-j8f It was American capitalism, American democracy, American freedom and American dollars that lifted 800 million Chinese people out of poverty. Without America, China is nothing.

  97. There is no such thing as a "proxy war."

  98. Nothing wrong. Democracy is good.
