Many years ago, I was in a psych class in college. Our teacher took us to a mèdical autopsy class for some reason. I couldn't stay and watch bc I asked the teacher where they got the body and she told me ppl who died wo anyone to bury them.
I kept thinking, this old man was someone's baby, student, coworker, friend, sweetheart, maybe husband or dad. But for sure, whomever he was, his life didn't count bc he is now just a body being torn apart by students w other students watching the process, like an old biology class where we watched or performed cutting up rats.

Hey, selling our citizenships to rich ppl! That's a great idea! I'm standing in line.😂
Poor ppl want to move to America, not wealthy ones. With all the wealthy ppl, won't that get rid of all the poor ppl who are all here struggling now? Where are all the poor citizens going? There are already millions of homeless ppl wo their own shelter and sufficient income (work) to survive. What's the plan for those folks? 😮
Obviously, the plan is not to put them on a path to wealth. The wealthy have no reason or, I'm sure, intention of rebuilding the middle class. It's not going to be the 50s/60s again, at least not by the population of unmotivated and uncreative ppl we have had in America over the last couple generations.
It's going to be interesting, at least for the young and middle aged. If the baby boomers are dying at an accelerated rate, the best cared for, nourished, educated, population in history, then the cause of their unusually rapid demise as a population, must have been intended.
One can only wonder what is in store for gen X, the children of the boomers who were produced at a rate of 2.9 to every 2 people born in the post WW2 era.🤔

@elreytriton many get disability. Homelessness usually causes major depression. You are a normal worthwhile person living your life, you have professional degrees, then you lose your job, can't find another, go through your savings, move around to other states, apply for services, find out you have to have a minor child to qualify, move into your car, get threatened by police, ripped off, scammed, injured by various street ppl, you get sick and can't lie down anywhere . . .
It goes on. Depression sets in when it hits you that you were a good person who followed the rules and did no wrong, you realize you are not worth saving and can no longer fool yourself that anyone in all the world cares if you die or worse, live.
Homelessness is not just a "problem" that needs to be solved. It is both a cause of and symptom of living nightmares. Having worked in a mission I've seen this scenario for years, it's not what you've been told or probably what you think.
God protect you on your life's journey.
Have a good day.

Actually, shelter mgrs want men who have some income, and a good chance of someday getting a job w a salary that covers living expenses.
The same can be said for women except they prefer older women who are far more grateful and less likely to have small kids (noise) or to cause less trouble than young women.
Ppl get tossed out for breaking rules like in by 8pm, in bed at 10 pm, no exceptions. No tvs, music, etc in rooms, no fighting, no drugs or alcohol in or out while living in the shelter, no cigs inside, do your 2x daily assigned chores well & wo complaint, stay clean and tidy.
Even if you follow every rule and are a perfect resident, someone else could make trouble for you and you could be put out at midnight, wh is especially bad bc shelters are usually built in bad neighborhoods.
It's not easy, especially at first bc ppl have usually come from complete freedom of choice. Much depends on whether the staff likes and trusts you and whether you are amenable to praying several times a day bc most shelters are run by religious persons or organizations.
It can be difficult for grateful ppl who adhere to the rules too bc your fellow residents may be mentally ill wo meds or angry or depressed by their situation, the way they are being treated or the hopelessness of having lived a good life and now discover that nobody in the world will give them a bit of floor space and blanket to keep them safe at night.

@Kateshellybo oh, that's so nice!
Ppl in my birth family always hugged like you were an extremely fragile, very old person, w osteoporosis and in enormous pain.
I absolutely HATED being hugged and always avoided it. Then one day, a friend who had been diagnosed w cancer, came back to university having learned she was then cancer free.
She saw me in the hallway, ran over to me, and threw both arms around me, giving me the world's most enthusiastic and joyful hug.
That's the way love should be expressed. So, if you don't have that much for your friend, you sure dont have enough to get married.

What "hard-working" Americans?
Read online comments. Workers demand high salaries for placing a paper cup on the counter where they are standing, then foul the food when they dont get tips.
Workers don't know the inventory in their shops, how to find it, or anything about it.
Ppl work in medical jobs, foul up surgeries, dont document anything they dont want to treat, and hire ppl wo any training or experience, then leave them on their own.
These arent "hard-working" ppl, these are worthless bottom feeders.
Trump and company need to attack this problem. Let them try to fix these horrid problems that have pulled America into the mess its become. Give them time. If they cut waste and fire ppl, who better to make those calls but OBVIOUSLY hard-working men who have found great success in theìr own businesses and lives. They wont get it all perfect but they can sirely come up w improved methods to brìng about better outcomes for the country.
And dont start babying workers. Tossing out useless workers ìs a boon not only for America, but for the workers themselves. With all the businesses folding, theres plenty of room now for creativity and innovation. Let ppl find new niches to fìll and truly MAGA.

@MamaMOB not so. Why do you ppl who don't work in the field, like INSIDE the normal shelters, or talk to the college grads who were the first homeless, keep propagating that myth? It's simply not true! Why did you let ppl live on the streets at all? Why didn't everyone object decades ago when you became aware of the problem?
You talk about helping the vets and homeless, but it was not until the migrants invaded the country in droves.
You marched and protested quickly enough and fiercely enough when you knew the israelis were blowing up the children of Gaza and starving the survivors, but you just shook your heads and were disgusted about the state of your own ppl, even the disabled and elderly and children having to live rough, and go hungry. All you did for your own was blame them for their situation.
Now you still aren't lifting a finger to help anyone. Millions of foreigners can come illegally, and suddenly there are shelters and hotels and apts for them. They are even given priorities in law income houses, section 8, senior and disability housing.
There is no reason for throw-away ppl in any of our first world countries. There is no reason to blame ppl or to hold to an ancient message on a statue that was simply a sign of a period in history and certainly can't be misconstrued to have any validity today, or for the past century, actually, to be accurate. 😮
Kudos yo the ppl who were fortunate enough to get out of the country. May they continue to have good fortune follow them all the rest of their days.

It is very hard when there's no ŵalkablè grocery in a low income neighborhood. Usually, when a grocery, especially an older grocery, closes down or moves out of such an area, the next place one opens is in a more commercial area that can only be accessed by bus or car. Or, the new store may only be accessible by a walk of @ a mile across a couple highways.
Once in TX, where the walkable grocery was nearby 2 large senior complexes (one private, where residents had family members who would bring them groceries, or had a restaurant in the facility) and a subsidized senior complex where, if ppl were poor enough and didn't have family, they were provided w assts who would shop for them, otherwise they better be able to walk a long way, bc no buses went down the busy highway to the Walmart. They did go past it, but from either direction the bus stop was about a mile away.
Same thing happened in FL in an area that became crime ridden. There was a little plaza w a few shops & a major grocery wi blocks of apt bldgs, but when crime became too heavy, every shop closed.
The only grocery, again, was at the Walmart, however, to get there, ppl had to take a bus, then transfer to another bus. The second bus always left about a minute before the first bus arrived, then the next one didn't come for an hour. It was not the safest place for old ppl to wait. Luckily, at the time, there was a bench to wait on.
It does seem that, for their own safety and profit, town shops, and transport is set up to escape the poor areas and, unfortunately, thats usually where the elderly live too.
I'm not saying any business should accommodate any population, I'm just saying these are the situations ppl face trying to survive.

NOT IMMIGRANTS.
NOT INVITED.
NOT WANTED. There are WAY MORE than 13 million citizens who want the migrants gone.
Think how much crime we can eliminate.
Think how much housing we will have for our non crazy, non addicted, Americans.
Think how many jobs will be open to our new grads, and how much good they will do for our economy.
Think how much better our education system will be when our teachers are free to teach English speaking students by native English speaking teachers, instead of dividing their time teaching half of the day in a multi-lingual classroom to foreign speaking students taught by foreign speaking teachers.
Come on, Americans. Do right by your own ppl. There's no place like America for Americans to go, and look how many Americans we've lost over this already. We'll end up losing our country while other countries, who've realized their mistake, are taking their's back. Why should we be made to have to lose our country? And where are we going to go?
We've done nothing to deserve this situation to wh we are being held captive.
Mr. President, Mr. President-Elect,
PUT UP THAT WALL.
GIVE US BACK OUR COUNTRY.
MAKE AMERICA AMERICAN AGAIN.

@justanotherhappyhumanist8832
Very nicely put. As a woman who fought for women's rights I wonder how on earth ppl now have this awful notion of feminism. (I encountered it first on social media and finally gave up on trying to explain the misconceptions ppl now have about it.)
Beliefs are 16:38 like the early days of the movement when women were trying to explain what they wanted and needed and why. Men, worried about the change in the status quo, charged women w being lesbians, hating men, wanting to be men, being unnatural, etc.
It really wasn't until women were bringing home full time paychecks that men began to get over their eĝo problems and see an advantage for themselves by not being burdened either financially or with guilt for not having to take care of women anymore.
(Although, ìt took quite a while before women, in general, obtained the kind of jobs that would satisfy and support them and, the end of the brief boon of post WW2 wealth in America, put the average woman back in need of men's assistance w child support.)

It's bc we have been doing it that way for about 70 years, the length of time nearly all workers have been working.
There was a time, at the beginning, when stepping aside and taking a candidate first, primarily as far as race was concerned, as long as they weren't completely UNQUALIFIED, was considered right in order to create a more equal society.
It was thought that this method would inspire ppl to obtaining more education and working more diligently to move up and make a better world for everyone.
IT DIDN'T WORK.
Unless you intend to pay back the groups of ppl who were cheated out of jobs for wh they were qualified the last time, (and I'm betting you have no intention of so doing), then I suggest you remove all ðata regarding race, ethnicity, age, handicap, and any other material that would result in any form of discrimination to any group of ppl.
And I'm reasonably sure you won't do that.

@nicholasdelaat2459 "should" counts for nothing. You are añgry and feel cheated, but you know, in reality, that you only get what you can afford. Nobody is obligated to give you anything.
Ppl in America have been homeless for decades. In spite of the many experts and professionals doing research that showed homeless ppl were no more addicts, mentally ill, lazy, made poor choices , or chose to be living that lifestyle, than was representative of the general population. Yet, for decades, nobody has helped much or defended them, or even deigned to tell the truth about them. And these are American citizens carrying bloodlines from across the world. Are they not just as unique and worthwhile as any other group of ppl?
They are not asking for paraduse, an ocean front condo, or a free plot of land to build themselves a home. They would be grateful for a roof over their heads, enough food so as not to be hungry, and productive work to pay for it all.
You see how that is working?
You can yell, scream, cry, belly ache and moan all you want but in the final analysis, you are an American, no matter whose ancestral bloodlines are running through your veins, and as an American, you are subject to the same conditions as all other Americans, wh are, in a nutshell,
"If you don't have,
You don't get."

@jacoaucamp2155 There was a long-time that countries only inv8ted in migrants when they needed workers. When they no longer needed them, they sent them home where they could try to apply for legal migration. That was usually moot, bc therevwas no reason to prevent a national from having access to a job by creating unnecessary competition.
EXCEPT IN THE UNITED STATES!
Immigration would have ended very long ago but for the immigrants already here who formed "parallel societies" etal, and became members of the govt who proposed, made, enforced, or voted for legislation that specifically favored them and their causes.
We understand that it's a big country and, originally, had no choice. When it did, it was too late, probably, to stop it.🤦

@susannehunter4017 not really. Most ppl in the US refer to it as America, as do most of the rest of the world. However, ppl in other areas of North America, along w ppl in Central and South America, resent the US bring referred to as America bc they are also "Americans."
This is all a bit silly bc other countries have names to wh it is easy to add an extention, like Peruvians or Costa Ricans or Columbians, etc. What would you call ppl from the USA? Usians? USers? Usatarians? The best you could do would be ppl of the US or US citizens, but then you'd have to change all the other names, too.
So, the USA just became America. If, however, anyone who objects, comes up w a sensible name, we can put it to a vote.😁

Honey, millions of homeless ppl are walking around everywhere, like characters from the "Night of the Living Dead" which, in a way, they are, and they don't even have a shelter around them, or a blanket, or food and they are at risk, women and men and kids of being kidnapped, abused, and raped 24/7 and you do nothing to help them.
How much easier would it be to ignore women and a child being held in a house down the street while you go about your life every day?

❤️ God Bless. Life goes like that. I lived in many fabulous places but eventually they became crowded w all the probs of growing cities and ppl competing fiercely for jobs and rents/taxes/properties costing too much to afford. Then moving. And it starts all over again. Sooner or later you get sick or injured, need some help wh isn't available and you start moving down.
While you are struggling to get your life back you find one day you are old and you are in a place you would never have imagined w ppl you never would have chosen.
Difference today is this is happening to ppl who never ĥad to move anywhere for years, wanted stability instead of adventure, and are ending up w neìther. Instead of finding a place, good or bad, they are burdened w families, maybe a handicapped child and they have to find a place for all of them, whether it be dangerous public housing or a tent on the street, or luck out w temporary, short term survival situations.
It's life. You think you are in control, but that is only partly true. So, do your best, live the life you want to live as long as you can. Enjoy everything.
In the end you will smile and have no regrets.

Y'all do know nearly another 6 million NON-JEWS were also killed in the camps during the war, dont you?
Ppl like ally enemies, political orisoners, intellectuals, gay ppl, gypsies, minorities, disabled physical or mentsl ppl, children and babies, twins and others used for experiments, and anyone whovwas perceived as "different", as well as anyone who ticked off any "official", and ppl of other religions like Islam, etc. were also persecuted.
If you are going to say Jews were persecuted bc they were going to take over Germany, then what about all those other ppl?

@mars1pluto
In America, the citizens never came first. Now we have disabled ppl, seniors and children in filthy areas of once nice cities, if they are lucky, living in tents, but still in great danger. Some cities are now giving homeless ppl $300/day fines FOR BEING HOMELESS! Of course they can't pay and will have to hide away or they may be sent out of their towns. Imagine being old and sick or disabled and not being able to lay down anywhere, not even in à forest or on a street. This is happening to more ppl every day, ppl who are even working but can't afford to rent any place. If you lose your job bc of the high retail crime (the shop closes) or any other reason, there's almost no chance of getting work again bc nobody wants to hire homeless ppl.
Meanwhile, our president, has opened the borders to ppl from all over the world who, though they are given a great deal of resources that are not available to our citizens, are complaining that they thought America was a wealthy, fully developed country that could give foreigners a great life. They were shocked to find there was no housing, and that they spent the winter sleeping on the streets in cold northern states. They also couldn't work and were amazed that there were many Americans also out of work. Many w college degrees.
So, before you envy us, learn about the reality of the situation of citizens in the US. And watch the videos of the foreign migrants asking for tickets back to the countries from wh they came bc, as they say, at least in their countries they could find SOME work and they never had to sleep outside.

Why are you crying bc the illegals may become homeless when you spent decades telling ppl that a subset of our general population were only addicts, mentally ill, & ppl who wanted to live like that such as hippies and bums so that you werent pressured to get them into 5 star hotels when there wasnt the competition from millions of illegals (or so we were told?).
As the homeless population continued to grow and shelters were full, more ppl were left in the street, including children, the disabled and the elderly.
Who was crying for them? How many news reporters lamented, "what'll we do?"
Now you want everyone to take in unvetted ppl after you told us they are all dangerous traffickers, drug pushers, and cartels? And young single males who might take over now that they are inside and spread out all over the country (as well as our neighbors to the north and the holding country to the south?
Hopefully, the Americans, except the ones involved in the invasion, and even them, may have been ignorant enough to be patsies in the past but i doubt they will be now, if they have seen the news at all lately.
We shall see.🙄

Yes. Cheapest Medicare HMO is up to $185/month in 2025. It's stealing. Seniors don't have $225 for a test and $50 for the specialist who orders the test, then God only knows if ANYONE reads them bc you go home w the same problem and maybe some drug that makes you far less functional than you were before you went to the doctor and will experience more sickness overall.
The reality is that most seniors just don't go, but they are forced to have to pay insurance that, when they get sick or injured, don't have any way to get treatment bc that copay and transport cost is more than they are paying for food/month. It's an either/or situation, and as you can't live wo food, it's just stealing money we already paid as younger ppl at work.
One trick they are pulling now is diagnosing seniors w psych DXs if they complain about their "health care." Problem there is once you have a psych dx, you will be turned down for a visa. You will also be turned down for a weapon so they've truly killed you if you were confronted w such a situation.
An aside, if you have a professional license you were planning to use for work abroad, you've lost that option. And if you stay in America, you've also lost your livelihood.

@Mark-pz3lq that may all be true, but it isn't that cut and dry. Hopefully, you will do well whatever you choose, and you will always have a safety net somewhere. I had built up many skills and friends living around the country and in other countries to keep myself going. I put myself through college through a PhD. in both science and medicine, but no careers were born out of the Dean's lists. I went on my own and had the best and most interesting life, including formal education wh never buttered my bread. What I learned on my own and what I learned in life and using all the knowledge of whatever I learned or was able to do kept me living an amazing life. I know most ppl can't do that. My experience was unique. But it's true all the same that you might find yourself moving through college programs or trades that will rapidly change, especially these days as ppl are replaced by AI.
I lived in TX during the oil boom. So did most of the country. The unemployment office opened for about an hour on Monday bc there was no way you wouldn't find a job whether you were a petroleum engineer or a bar man. One day Texas Instruments began laying off ppl. By the end of the week they had laid off thousands. Everyone was in shock. It began a domino effect and in a very short time there were unemployment offices set up as counters inside the doors of bldgs that had been built but never inhabited. And lines of unemployed worker stretching for blocks all over the city. Not only did the big companies fail, but all the support companies as well. Soon there were uhauls leaving the county and uhaul paying ppl in other places to bring them back bc they kept running out in Texas.
One of the geologists I worked w said even during the great depression, Houston was not affected. It was inconceivable to native Texans that such a disaster could happen to them. It took them some years to recover and then only bc they figured out how to do it, meanwhile there were a lot of depressed ppl there.
Not wanting to be reduced to fast food workers, many young men took their families and moved to Russia wh, at the time, needed to modernize their oil fields and needed the geologists and petroleum engineers to upgrade their sources and teach at their universities to train their ppl in the new tech and equipment. In Houston, their houses and condos were abandoned, sold for way less than ppl paid for them, and bought by workers from the Middle East.
When the work was done and everything was caught up and the Russian scientists and engineers trained and proficient, Russia thanked the immigrant professionals and sent them back to America and Canada.
Some things happen fast. When you have your life planned perfectly, some unknown disaster occurs. You can't beat yourself up over a loss as you can't break your arm, patting yourself on the back when things go swimmingly. And you certainly can't fault ppl for everything that goes wrong in their lives bc ppl can't know what is going to happen or how soon it may occur.
Good luck in your endeavors. Hope you have a splendid life.❤️

The illegals don't know that. They believe Americans are all rich and have to take care of them. They come here bc, historically, america would take anyone, but that's only partially true. Legally, there were quotas and ppl who would be a drain, unless they were connected and had money, wouldn't get in. Illegally, though, anyone who could get in wo getting caught, could stay in, although there were methods for catching them, they didn't work well.
Meanwhile, illegals made the accusation that all ppl in America were "immigrants" therefore the land did not belong to anyone and everyone had a right to be here.
Had Americans not behaved like a field of pansies (and my apologies for insulting the flowers), and stood up for the fact that immigrants ŵere not needed here in at least a century, and that we are not immìgrants but American citizens, we would not be in this mess.

In FL i was head of a government county planning dept in the 80s making $5/hr after receiving my degree with hiĝh honors in earth sciences. It was a big relief after keypunching for yrs & topping up at $3.25/hr. But, bc of the terrible inflation I almost had to sell my car, so I went to Houston and worked in an oil&gas company as secretary to a vice president for $12/hr.
When the oil industry crashed in TX, there was a mass exodus out of the city bc jobs disappeared overnight.
Returning to FL I got a job working admin asst for 2 depts òf men at a recycling plant for $7.25/hr. No overtime and 3 yrs later the president replaced me w a girlfriend he was trying to get rid of at the downtown office, while my VP boss had been sent on vacation in NY.
It's isn't always the minority, single moms, who work fast food struggling to survive in the US, sometimes its single female geniuses who work full time while attending school full time, who are out there doing their best, having done all the right things, who are just getting by.
You see, this situation in America isn't anything new despite women now having rights, good educations, and willingness to follow the job market and work at whatever is available.
It's not the ppl. It's the failure of the country's powers that be to sustain a work force. This is America.

Old ppl don't have the options young ppl do, especially w the bad healthcare problems in the US. Hard to move house when you get weak or broken.
Ok. Your idea. Here's how it's worked in the past.
Ppl move to a cheaper place. It booms in a short time. Lots of workers, lower wages, rents, and property keep moving up. Crime grows or criminals take over as ppl become more vulnerable. Ppl have to move.
You see the problem. You won't ever "settle in" so don't buy anything good, you will just be out of pocket. Furniture costs a lot, sells at pennies on the dollar.
This process lasts a lifetime. Sometimes things go better, a break in the economy, a better job, etc, but it won't last bc the reasonably priced town will quickly become known. Prices will go up, wages won't, you will be looking for the next place to move, maybe the next company.
You can't beat it. Just plan accordingly.
I wish ppl who already know they "don't know much about" something, wouldn't get online and tell ppl what to do.
BTW. What he's saying about baby boomers ended when the earliest of them hit 40. They had their kids very early so at 40, their oldest was 20 (+). Companies wouldn't hire ppl heading toward òr already in middle age when they could hire young ppl. Additionally, the time of life when they could go to college, was post Vietnam and, having growing families, were finishing degrees later in life as technology was growing and rendering their hard won education quite useless. Most went back to get grad degrees or took new tech or labor training and struggled for a lifetime trying to make a living. Remember, never before had middle and working classes had access to higher education and led to believe they could become one of the suits working in the high rises glass bldgs downtown.
The money made by that generation, was made by the children of the upper middle and upper classes as it has always been.
The wealth and opportunities did not spread across the country or the masses of BBs.
Today, half of the BB generation is living on SS only. And the avg is about $1500/ month. That mostly had to do w debt incurred from educational loans, trying to get the "right" knowledge to get a job before the fields were flooded (rarely worked for long) and living on credit cards while attending classes and hoping for the educations to pay off.
Meanwhile, BB kept paying their after tax money to state schools where nearly all their money was going right back to the govt and banks in years and years of interest.
The money the govt collected from the BBs supported the benefits to fund the WW2 generation, their own generation, and most of their children's generation X.
It wasn't sex, drugs, and rock and roll or high living that left the elderly homeless. It was planned that way.
Why do you think only taxes and student loans (wh can never get paid in America [today's kids will lose wages to cheap labor ushered into the country and will see the same results] cannot be put into bankruptcy? The interest on those loans never stop and the debt is deducted from your SS or disability benefits for life. Any govt benefits you might eventually qualify for (like housing or EBT) are assessed on the award amount of your SS not the amt of cash that ends up in your check, so you likely won't actually get them.
By now you will see the lies you have bought into, so while you are wasting your time envying ppl you thought were lucky, you find the stage for your hard times were plotted long before when the nation saw a cash cow in a generation that was making more profit for the govt and the wealthy than ever before known in history.
Keep in mind, the BB phenomenon was worldwide, not just American.
Get the picture now? ❤

@wyattkrumanaker6116 govt can take over housing. No more ownership of houses you aren't living in.
That way, everyone will have a home, it will have to be maintained, and paid for. Rents can be a percentage of income.
Since there are so many homeless ppl, if everyone is housed and paying rent, there will be far less money spent on SUPPOSEDLY trying to fix all these social problems. If, as they say, billions of dollars have been spent ea year for many years trying to fix the problems, wh, as we all know, wherever the money went, it wasn't to help ppl, there simply wouldn't be any of those problems. Idk if the ppl who were responsible for doing that work were wildly incompetent or wildly corrupt, or both, but it shouldn't have taken this long to find some ppl who could replace them and get the job done.

@Flat_Earth_Sophia
It's true. Prices for everything went sky high. We also have so much crime, corruption, and since the 80s ppl have steadily become homeless bc all our work went overseas long ago. Everybody went to college, wh is also expensive, on student loans, then few got jobs, so couldn't pay the loans. The interest kept adding up. I worked w elderly ppl who are homeless & owe $80k on a $4k loan they took out when they were young.
Now millions of ppl live in cars (lucky ones) or on the street, having to move around every day or so. Families, disabled, elderly, meanwhile companies are buying up all the houses so nobody can buy one to live in or to build a nest egg.
Immigration over populated the country too and companies paid less for foreign workers so there went Americans jobs.😢

I dont get it. American govt supports israel whose army is killing civilians. We support the war in Ukraine where civilians have been getting killed for a few yrs now. Nobody dares to talk of all the homeless Americans including many children who are injured, raped, hungry, treated like garbage, and killed in the streets.
You cannot make ANYONE care about cold, unsheltered, unfed, illegals, whose children dont have buses to take them to school in NYC.
Why are ppl worrying about illegals in an uncomfortable situation when for the last 40 or so yrs nobody was putting any of the American ppl in hotels, finding them places w privacy, toilets, even water? There are working ppl who are living unsheltered and now no longer have hope.

@tracim3080 oh yes. That was stupid wasn't it? Did you know the wars after 911 were protested all over the US, but daddy bush came on telly the morning after the declaration and did a speech asserting " all Americans are w me on this" (going to war) even though ppl were outraged saying, there are massive protests everywhere, who is w you?
When it was over, the news anchors had a round table discussion, I think on PBS, talking about how they had gag orders and couldn't talk about what they knew about the protests until it was all over.
Well, ppl might be stupid but they aren't all deaf, dumb, and blind. They know what's going on in the streets outside their doors. And everybody wondered why no news ppl were showing the protests against the war.
You didn't really believe that Americans had power to actually DO anything, did you?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@NativeGardenZ
And let the citizens, who paid for everythiñg here, die in the streets as an unemployed worker?
Nobody needs to come here and take work from others, just do what the poor Americans do, work 80 hours a week at whatever jobs you can get or go into massive debt for life by getting an education that won't get you a better job anyway.
You are living in a fantasy world. There's no housing. All these so-called illegals are dyingnon the streets from lacknof shelter, food, and medical care, just the same as American citizens. Unfortunately, Americans have nowhere else to go, unlike the illegals who are already asking to go home "where it's warmer, where they never have to sleep on the sidewalks, and where there is always some work available."
And ask them to take an unemployed American w them so they can have a better life too.

@vpaul4374 victims ARE physically harmed, especially ppl alone, elderly, handicapped, and the poor.
They don't have supplies, food, or medicine bc it's all been stolen, nearby shops close, no transport available, etc.
Ppl get sick wo proper food, clean water, warm clothes, cleaning supplies. Ppl don't consider others anymore, so they die.
Just bc someone robs you on the street and doesn't shoot you doesn't mean you aren't going to die as a result of it.

@KaladinVegapunk well said, doubt many will understand you (or even believe you, as blaming the sinners of the past, is just a hope for a free handout).
They will, mostly, understand, though, again, may not acknowledge, this:
"Let he who is wo sin, cast the first stone."
(I cannot believe I have written a religious quote in the COMMENTS!)😱☠️🙈🙉🙊👺

@markadler8968 do your best, hon, but don't get cocky. Boomers married out of high school and worked and had kids. College wasn't available until the GI Bill from the Vietnam War and the women's movement that promised a better life to women and sent them off to work.
Everyone was paying taxes from work, then paying after tax money to govt colleges. Did you really think the best educated ppl I'm history, raised by ppl who went through the Great Drpression, would.live their lives in a way that would leave them homeless in their old age? (Boomers DID get a way better education than you, all the way through grad school, but they grew up reading books during idle moments, not playing mindless games for hours. So, they had an allover advantage.)
The country never needed more professional positions than couod be filled by the children of the wealthy, as has been the case forever.
Then there was the "over-qualified" era wh happened to boomers at or nearing 40 yrs of age who were suddenly told they were simply "unemployable."
But they still had 25 yrs till retirement.
Then came the tech boom and ppls jobs became obsolete. So, boomers went back to schools on loans while trying to support families and pay off mortgages, etc.
By the time they were armed w graduate degrees, so were their kids, younger ppl, freshly trained, able to work for less money. Gen X was putting off family, etc, bc they believed they were going to have real careers. Everyone had equal opportunities, won by the ppl who were taught to make the world a better place.
Then the jobs went overseas. Boomers had 15 more years to retirement, grown children competing for jobs, grandchildren needing help, and student loans in deferment accumulating interest every month. Jobs were so scarce that all the educated folks were living off their credit cards believing things would get better. They didn't. Not only were there not nearly enough jobs for educated ppl, downsizing had relieved ppl of the chance to work 3 part time or min. wage jobs to get by. By the 90s, the best & the brightest were falling into homelessness.
Nobody knew that college loans, like taxes were the only debts that could not be declared in bankruptcies, and the money was taken from disability and social security before the recipients received the rest.
Coal workers w black lung disease were the first to reveal the facts about how any assistance was figured on the awarded amt, not on the actual amt received. So if poverty level for food assist was X$, you wouldn't qualify if you had X$ award minus student loan deductions from that award amt.
Savings? Baby boomers went to first grade w their newly acquired Christmas Fund bank books, wh recorded their weekly deposits of any found pennies, birthday money, or work allowances of small amts of coins.
Early boomers did indeed get born into the prosperous era that bought them hula hoops and bicycles, but by the time the last of them were born, the country wasn't looking as prosperous and stable. There was downsizing & unemployment in the 70s, inflation in the 80s, and mainly only the younger boomers profited by the quick dot.com boom.
Getting the reality of the time in history y'all thought was all about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll?
Good. Now start focusing on all the advantages you have today.
For one thing you shouldn't be so stupid to think you can go to college, get a degree and have comfort throughout your life. It hasn't worked from the baby boom down to today so why are you still beating a dead horse? Anyway, it rarely works that way, and unless you come from adequate money and power, few of you will ever find yourselves in a place where you can acquire it.
Forge a new trail. Educate yourselves on your own. Money should be easy. You have the net. You can make some money just putting stupid pictures of your dog or kid on a video. You know about passive income, and how to invest. If money is your goal, you can always get some. Volunteer. Not only does it make you feel worthwhile, it prov8des you w many of the skills employers look for in a possible hire.
Stop worrying and complaining about your retirement. In 10 yrs, the Earth may have been blown up. You might be colonizing other planets. We might have a tech society instead of a monetary one.
Choose a path for today, modify it as you go. Don't pass up a chance to learn anything.
Above all, try to brighten up. Y'all are killing yourselves!❤

❤️and you're liberal?
Maybe you were just born in the wrong era? Lots of ppl used to be tree hugging, save the whales, end the wars, love your brother ppl.
They were nice. They gave us Earth Day, and the Clean Air, Clean Water, and the Endangered Species Acts.
Thanks for trying, guys, but, you know, time moves on.🤷♀️

@brigitblu3828 we can't even support ppl on the streets who lost jobs, single moms who can't get jobs that pay enough to feed their kids, young ppl who can't buy training, ppl d/c from physical rehab facilities who have lost their jobs and apts, injured ppl who have to wait several yrs for disability then several more for medicare, ppl w disabilities that nobody will hire as there are long lines of healthy, educated applicants who will work anywhere for anything just to be employed, and all the growing numbers of elderly ppl who can't lie down anywhere wo getting a $300 ticket for being homeless bc of a limited income and high inflation and no available housing, but you want resources for a problem that you'd never have if you just had the sense to say "no" and keep on walking.
I think a lot lately of what JFK said to us years ago and wonder why ppl dont heed his words.
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
If you choose to become a druggie, you can't contribute anything worthwhile to your country, can you? All you can do is ruin it. Is that really what you want your legacy to be?

Wait staff doesn't perform better w tips, they foul food and block free wifi service or use scanners to erase data on your phone if you dont provide what they think they should get. All over my small city, wh serves ppl to whom a morning cup of plain coffee is a special treat, wait staff of a donut shop in Walmart, who only have to stick a donut in a bag or turn around at the counter and dispense coffee from an urn, will cause harm to customers for not tipping enough. Change from a dollar isn't good enough any more. It's ridiculous. Moreover, customers are beginning to cease being intimidated by Nazi tactics to force customers to add tips to charged payments. And, they are being encouraged to send fouled or suspicious servings to local labs and to film and document ppl handling and serving their food.
Although this has been a joke in many instances, in light of the seriousness of illnesses and the ignorance of servers who may not know the consequences of the damage they may be causing, holding workers liable for harming or attempting to harm a customer, must now be prosecuted.
Conspiracy to harm by encouraging and engaging others is a Federal crime and can no longer be excused.

It's not that they may have never been seen, it's far more likely that nobody helped them when they knew about it.
Ask or read up on Targeted Individuals who are victims of organised stalking and terrorizing and covert torture in every country, innocent ppl mostly, never committing a crime, chosen at random as making good targets, being left to creating online help bc family, friends, authorities claim to disbelieve them or think they are mentally ill bc these organized criminals start vicious rumors about their victims that cause this situation.
That situation never ends and these ppl are walking around being tortured, COVERTYLY, until they commit suicide or otherwise die.
You can find many books on the subject at Amazon but it is unlikely you will bc these criminals (a group of wh some believe are part of the old MKULTRA or CoIntelPro of years ago) excel at what they do.
AND, WHAT THEY DO IS ALSO A FEDERAL CRIME.

And in getting and spending thousands of dollars (or millions of pesos) to get into the States, over and over, and lamenting all the hardships in so doing, they could have bought an excellent education in Mexico or started a business and built a safe and purposeful life. Nobody talks about the other options. When the buses started coming under Trump's admin, the president of mexico, at that time, offered homes, jobs, services and benefits to all those ppl and they turned it down.
Dont even THINK of trying to BS Americans w that poor, hungry, refugees yearning to breathe free nonsense.😡

@rileyd1062
Many many years ago on a TV talk show, when times were relatively stable, 2 guests, lawyers, spoke of the financial future of women in America et al. They explained the situation, then gave this advice: most women, given that they will outlive men by some considerable years, will likely die in poverty. Their best chance is to marry as well as possible and stay married as long as possible.
Given the possibilities (real or imagined) of the subsequent employment of women, and the changes in alimony and child support, that may or may not have been valid advice.
But it seems whatever has been eliminated, nothing has been put in place to create a safety net for women and children, so it appears at least their warning of future poverty was correct.

There are so many kids sexually abused by family and acquaintances, who, btw, NEVER fully recover from child sexual abuse, that they are hungry for whatever they can learn that may help them.
Info on CSA has been as hidden as info on offenders, more so, in fact. It is only in VERY recent times (since around the late 70s) that offenders have been the persons being blamed for the acts and not the children themselves.
The first nonclinical publication was a book called "Father's Days" by a woman who wrote under the name of Katherine Brady (sp?) and the first (I believe) tv talk show to open a dialog was Phil Donohue.
As abused children, they are called liars, bad seeds, trouble makers, or troubled kids meaning mentally ill, making trouble for adults. Historically, they have been family outcasts and often ended up in mental hospitals for "making up obscene situations" by what is known as the "non-offensive" parent (in family abuse), or others to whom the child may have revealed the abuse.
Even today, as you see, the known dialog is aimed at children abused by clergy, teachers, coaches, day care workers, and others who choose careers primarily dealing w children, rather than targeting the core issue.
Now, we focus on child trafficking. While all of the venues that target children need to be addressed, the main source, children abused at home by known perps, is still being ignored, and is likely to continue to be for the comfort of the family members, the protection of the child's reputation (blame the victim), ànd society in general.

@AJ-rf4yr yes. I am at a loss to understand that. For kids to believe that behavior is OK, it has to be reinforced by ppl who matter like friends, parents, teachers, celebrities, and made to look cool on videos, TV, and films.
Ppl. You are teaching young ppl to become Nazis. No. That's not a euphemism for it. I've been seeing this behavior being tolerated for some years, and now I see it being rewarded!
Nobody to blame but adults responsible for children's upbringing and education. You'd better stop this now. Today.
Get active. Get serious.Nazi behavior was not a phase. It grew in its evil, and it took a war throughput the whole world to stop it.
It wasn't started by the wealthy, educated, New World Order, but by a poor artist who never attended college or rose beyond the rank of corporeal in his military service. Today it could be a young female "influencer" on tiktok.
Think.

You always have to plan your life around the weather. I used to live in FL. Get up, shower, don a top & bottom, step into sandles, open the door and go do whatever you planned.
In PA, bring lots of clothes to stay warm, but nothing nice, ppl aren't fashionable. Stealers, Pirates, Penguins gear is all you need to go anywhere.
As for food, don't look for salads, this is a fast food, pizza for dinner city. Oh yes, stock up on beer.😂

Ok. I have to say.
Rents may be cheap but did you know those amts don't include any utilities. Another shock? Apt complexes are charging, not only for costs IN your apt, but for maintenance (use it or not), bldg water, sewage, garbage, property care (snow removal, lawn mowing, ) electricity, and a bill for having to give you a bill! Then there's mandatory renters insurance.
Theres also ppl who reroute electric wires so if it's yours you can keep yours turned off or pay their bill.
So your rent may be advertised at 650 but the fees may add ùp to 900 w bldg costs, then you have the bills for your apt, maybe 200 if you use heat, air, refrigerator, hot water, lights, fans, tv, etc. So that your actual cost is 1150+/month.
I've rented for many years & what no one is saying is that every place for rent in every city or state demands income of 3 to 3 1/2 times the rent. It's the first demand and if you dont have it, even if you have a chunk in savings, nobody will rent to you. Good luck w subsidized housing, the waiting lists are years long. The newest problem, though, is the migrants who are given preference for any living space, and the companies who are buying up all bldgs and houses to rent only.
If you managed to get out of the US before or just after covid, you could get into Mexico w $500/month income. Now it is $3500/month and a healthy bit deposited in their bank. It's also no longer permitted to use the swinging door visa and illegal Americans are being deported back to the states.
Good luck everyɓody❤

It is exactly the same as the baby boom generation. Im stunned that y'all are so amazed by what's happening in your country. It happened to our seniors when they finished còllege. Very few of the middle class and almost none of thecworking class got jobs & those who did, were lucky if they could return to their old pink and blue collar jobs as long as those jobs lasted.
You should learn about what really happened bc we were taught to be ashamed to not have great jobs w all our degrees. But as the Trilateral Commission tried to tell the universities, we dont need all those professionals.
Most of us managed to hold on, one way or another, until retirement.
It was all propaganda. Obviously the best raised and most profit making, educated, kids, who came from the most privileged country (we thought, until we traveled in Europe, or went to fight in SE Asia) expected to get jobs that mattered, as they were all taught to make the world a better place. And we did! In many, many ways.
We just never got money for it.
Today, over half that generation lives solely on SS, and their average income is @ $1500/ month, wh is fairly below the rent on a 1BR apt.
W insane rents, very old parents, high inflation, poor healthcare, etc, the elderly drop into homelessness w the next rent increase.
Please find a way to a future for your children. Soon there will be less and less jobs as tech becomes the road to unemployment. Dont tell kids to get a job, teach them how to make a living w the knowledge they have accumulated. Teach them to be entrepreneurs. From PhDs to laundry workers, you can build a livlihood for yourselves. Dont waste time knocking on doors. Start something somewhere, but start now.
Best of luck❤

@omarimack194 it doesn't mean it HAS to happen, neither again or in the future. Multiculturalism wasn't the way of the world and doesnt need to happen now. Once a country is well established it takes on its own culture, it's values, it's beliefs. Threats to that stability have always resulted in wars. It is likely too late to stop what has been done already, but further invasions of countries, especially developed countries, must be stopped and reversed before it does become a bloodbath of nations.
Besides, if the ppl who live in the countries, who want to leave it, are free to do so at will, they wreck their countries and thus a section of the world. Ppl born into any area must take responsibility for their land and work to make it a better place. That is their right and privilege as citizens of the world.
It stands a given that ppl who won't or don't work to better their country, are ppl who will respond the same in another country. If where they go is an improvement on where they have come from, they will surely begin the demise of any improvements and the inherent destruction of a nation that was once made better by the achievement of others.
At the rate we are going now, we won't have to wait for climate change or AI to ruin the planet.
"We have met the enemy and he is us."

@gracenmercy1085
Hold it there, my violin string just broke!🫣
You see, you are the example of the ungrateful. You act as if Americans aren't suffering as well, and now you are causing more suffering, coming here and taking food stamps from the elderly, poor, taking every part time job so ppl can't squeeze by anymore, bringing illness and mental health issues on top of everything else, etc.
And you are causing all this to ppl who, when they did have, very generously shared w you knowing you would probably never help them. And they are suffering bc of a decision you made, unilaterally, wo consulting them and against their laws!
That is what entitlement and ungratefulness means. If you don't think the millions of homeless ppl as well as the unemployed, ill, disabled, hungry, unloved, trafficked, prisoners, lonely ppl aren't suffering enough while you are able to get together thousands of dinero and healthy enough to make multiple trips through dangerous and rough terrain to get to a place where ppl can't support you and resent your effrontery, then you need to learn!
And you tube, DONT YOU DARE ERASE THIS COMMENT!

I wouldn't hold my breath, Robert. You probably won't see your housing bc I've a feeling that none of these ppl are leaving the US any time soon.
Face it, we've lost our country. Now we have 2 options, either find somewhere else to live (there must be space somewhere if everyone else in the world is in the US and Europe), or find a new way to live. If Greg and Ron are sending everyone north, we could move south and start rebuilding there, it's warm, we could work most of the year. Or, for our Latin neighbors, they could keep going south and rebuild Central and South America, teach newcomers Spanish and Latin culture.
We should stop blaming the govt. We should organize and make a better life for ourselves. We all have lots of chutzpah, education, and skills. We pioneered once, we can do it again. Ìts a big world out there . . .

❤❤ @olufagosebambulagose in your dreams. They're not here to improve your country, fool. If they wanted to make the world a better place, they wouldn't be here destroying sanctuary cities, of all places. They would have shown their gratefulness by already making it a better place.
None of them have done any such thing.
There are still American bleeding hearts and scammers and those who see how they can turn this mess to their advantage, but the rest of us can't fall victim to those ppl or forget for one moment that, despite the current state of our nation, it's still our responsibility to bring it back to the country we created, minus the mistakes of yesterday.
It's a new world, a new day, time to upgrade our laws and practices to modernize the land we cherished, not, as our enemies are trying to do, wh is bring us so low that we all give up and leave.
What will America look like after the Americans are defeated and gone?
Slum of the Earth.☠️

@Duke_of_Prunes you know the pro-Abbott T-shirt that came out around the time of the barbed wire border that reads, ABBOTT "Make America Texas"?
Someone wore it w Texas crossed out & changed it so that it read "Make America Hungary."
(For the clueless, the president of Hungary is advocating for his soldiers to shoot anyone trying to cross the Hungarian border.
Well, remember when they had guards set up to shoot ppl trying to cross illegally from East to West Berlin? And that was all German ppl from the same city, some just caught on the wrong side of the wall, before it even was a wall.
It's been done before, legally and justifiably, and it lasted a very long time. So, just saying, it's nothing new.
Ppl better make up their minds exactly what they want done and do it before this all gets to a point of ppl just taking matters into their own hands.
Stop arguing. America truly doesn't have resources to save their own children from hunger much less try to impress ppl from the rest of the world. Obviously, neither does Hungary or the rest of Europe. We are all on dangerous turf here.

@lindakingsley-gx2td now I can contribute here. Btw, it's the same w PA, at least at several counties near Pittsburgh. Ppl actually think it's funny to smear you, get you fired, isolate you, break into your place just to do covert damage. They reroute electric wires, hack your devices, set up systems that intercept your phone calls, etc. Since you are the outsider, nobody jumps in to help. The best you can get is someone who doesn't hurt you, but they won't help or become friendly.
I was in shock that such a situation exists, but can't move or get away anymore due to a bad surgery wh left me w an orthopedic disability.
It took a long time to bear it bc I've lived many places in the country & in a few countries and ppl have always been warm and friendly to me.
Sympathy to ppl living in bad places and good luck to everyone in nice places, may they stay that way.❤

It's becoming the same in america while it's being denied emphatically.
Idk how it can be denied when social media, itself, disappears comments often before someone is even finished writing them!
Also, ppl are making up words to use in place of valid words, trying to get their remarks past censorship, i.e. saying "unalived" for the obvious or "grape" for the word spelled wo the leading "g."
Its not as though anyone is trying to encourage bad behavior, quite the opposite. It's just really mindless.
If it is to keep empty chatter going, and trying to limit real communication among ppl around the world, it's doing a good job of that.
If it's to salve the weak egos of the participation trophy brigade, then why allow thumbs down options? Why not just thumbs up or nothing? Oh, maybe to placate those who will go away in a tantrum if they see a negative sign, thereby no longer contributing to the required mindless pap?
Freedom of speech? Of course we have it. Of course we do! Just dont look too closely or think too much, and you will see it.🙄

When are you going to tell us what you are going to do to solve the problem?
Why don't you just let us know what you honestly plan for the homeless?
Nobody has helped the homeless anywhere in the world. Now you bring in ppl from all over the world and add more homeless.
Obviously, you had no housing for them bc you had no housing for the ppl who were here already homeless.
We know all these ppl aren't just displaced ppl, druggies, and the mentally ill. Many are working poor, ppl wo family help, ppl on, or waiting on disability, ppl on SS, ppl too ill to work, ppl too old to get hired for jobs, and many other reasons.
We need answers, not sensationalism. Let's talk w all these ppl whose job it is to get ppl into housing, jobs, or facilities, or resettle them w family or friends, or in a country that does have the needed resources bc their COL is much lower.

Nobody is against helping war refugees, even tightening their belts to help. Unless there's ppl from Ukraine/Russia or Israel/Gaza, and America is the first safe country from their home country, wh is international law, then we will take them in. Otherwise, Nada.
The migrants blew their best chance when MX's president offered them EVERYTHING, and welcomed them all. But they ticked off the MX ppl by refusing their offers and making a filthy mess of their country. Even to now, El Presidente says no migrants can even be deported back through his country or stay there.
Funny thing is, Mexico is prospering now and even the American SS retirees can't afford to move there anymore and can't qualify under the new laws.
Goes to show you, when someone reaches out a hand, don't ever wait for a better offer. Remember the tale of the fox and the grapes.❤

@paulconner4614
try Google!
Seriously. Why can't you all think of how to do things? I'm not being unkind. I sincerely want to know how ppl who have had a phone in their hand for 12 yrs of high school don't know that all the knowledge of the universe is in that phone?
Like our moms used to tell us, but I guess your mom's didn't,
LOOK IT UP!
Find a plumber. Ask him how he got to be one. Same ways for mechanics and cops and firemen and dental assistants, paralegals etc.
Stop in at a junior college, ask for resources on jobs.
Ask for books etc at your library, at the reference desk.
Try the book of occupations. It's probably on line. It's in the library. It has every occupation that exists and tells you all about them, including what you need, how much it pays, best places to find work, future employment prospects, etc. It's govt info so may be a bit out of date, make sure it's the most recent version and know it's just a guide, it's not written in rock.
I met a young man who had a lot of work bc he learned how to repair washers at laundries. He learned from helping a guy who did it.
My first love wanted to move to FL where his big brother went when he got married. He found a brochure for a heating & a/c certificate. He went to school, moved to FL, bought a business license (idk, look it up) advertised his business in papers, made business cards, flyers, etc, made friends around town, talked w guys at the local bar, and ended up w a/c businesses all around FL.
Another guy in FL had a law license but couldnt get work anywhere. Ŵhen a pest control man came to his apt, he asked him about his job and discovered (at the time) that It paid a LOT. That company was hiring, they trained him, and he later went into the business w another lawyer doing pest control.
If you have any police or military training, you might look into forest or park ranger at state parks. It's a govt job, sò has perķs.
If you have engineering talent you could try to design a solar panel that can be easily recycled. I heard it takes $30 to chop one up and it only yields about $3 in material. If someone doesn't figure it out, solar panels in the trash, polluting the earth.
Think. Talk to ppl. Don't dismiss old ppl.
As you can see, old ppl know stuff.😂❤

He's trying to make it look as if you have a say.
In a democracy, by definition, you do. A Constitutional Republic oversees you. It's like in the old days, important decisions can't be left in the hands of the multitude.
Idk. If the ppl the world over keep up the momentum by protests and voting (bc it will be obvious even if voting is a farce) they may actually get some of what they want the most like housing, and reasonable COL, and deporting all the migrants back home, while sending all refugees for asylum to the first safe country to their homelands.
It's a Longshot, I agree, but who would have thought anyone could have seen the gen Z and Millennials suddenly put nonstop energy and creativity into trying to get what they want?
That's not a put down, just a shock and BTW, everyone is proud of you.

@3namechangezalowdevry90day7 that's a thoughtless thing to say. Freezing on the streets, hungry, unwanted, wo hope fòr anything better, ever, bc even if you are able & willing, you'll be long dead before you ever get the chance to prove yourself, is as poor as it gets, in any country, 1,2,or3.

@JH-ck1nr please remember the colonists WENT to AFRICA to buy SLAVES who were already a commodity for sale. They didn't go to Italy and steal a bunch of ppl then hold them hostage to make Italian meals every night.
Ask Americans if they wouldn't mind trading their labor today for adequate shelter, food, clothing, and Healthcare for their fanilies, instead of worrying how much longer they have until their families are on the streets?
How many of the slaves were better off in the UK or America than in Africa?
Also, slavery in America ended after the Civil War. Ex slaves were given land, taught how to be independent, create their own towns, govt, etc. (Read up on Texas.)
Why didn't they take their new found goods and book passage back to Africa?
Ppl are asking the wrong questions, designed to keep them helpless.

Oh bring up the horrors of the past by every person in every country in the world. Be sure to include the Germans killing, not only the Jews, but all the white and black ppl who are never included in the holocaust stories but were every bit as present as the Jews. Also any memorials to holocaust victims must include the names of all the victims, Jewish or not, and any remuneration given to the descendents or countries of victims must be given to all.
Include, also, the white Europeans and others who came to settle in the Americas, who created great nations, and were persecuted and horrifically killed by natives of those countries. Be sure their great leaders make public and recorded apologies to descendents of those ppl and give them due and adequate payment for the atrocities they suffered.
Do not forget the Irish who were forced to live, not only under British rule, unable to own their own country, for which they fought and died, but to the govt of the US who allowed the Irish to be treated worse than blacks in this great country to wh they fled to escape starvation.
Be certain to dig deep in the history of all groups òf ppl to make sure apologies of all ppl are made to all who are owed them and fair payment is given to all whose ancestors were made to suffer in any way at the hands of the ancestors of any other group.
And good luck w that task.
Best get busy now.

Please, stop saying we are generous. Say we no longer have the means to be generous. Our ppl who cant afford housing are living, suffering, and dying in the streets. If this is the way we treat American ppl who cant care for themselves, even if its due to govt or corporate failures, then thats what everyone else has to do.
BTW, idk what you think is happening, maybe some, or certain, ppl wo money get medical care but ive seen the opposite. Ive seen ppl turned away, ppl faint or collapse waiting in emergency rooms and staff just walk over them. It seems staff sees this as "acting out."

@Johny40Se7en
It's a case of blaming the victims. ALL the homeless are portrayed as addicts, mentally ill, or ppl who made poor life choices (like majoring in philosophy or music or literature).
When programs are shown about homelessness, the person being interviewed is ALWAYS someone who says he ŵas a drunk in his youth or dropped out of school or got into trouble w the law and he is usually a person of a minority race, not someone white, crippled by a drunk driver, who had poor medical treatment, who lost his job while waiting for disability to kick in, wh never did bc he couldn't get to the lawyers office bc he had no transport, etc etc etc. Then there are all the children who simply got born to ppl who could no longer provide for them.
If you read the research, the homeless are simply a subset of the general population. If 10% of the population are addicts, 10% of the homeless are as well, and so on in equal proportions. There is no overwhelming majority of any type of ppl who would account for homelessness.
Most of the ppl on the streets are there bc their jobs left the country, companies downsized, natural disasters, illness, disability, becoming elderly w no place to go, rents going sky high and salaries not increasing, victimization of scams, frauds, robberies, etc are main reasons why ppl end up homeless.
America has little to no safety nets, despite all the propaganda, this is not the world of milk and honey.
Like the video showed, ppl are simply left to struggle alone wo accommodation. There are social services but the systems are so corrupt as to be useless.
I've been a volunteer at missions all around the country for many years. So, yes, I do know the truth and I do know the stories.
Expect the situation to get much worse as low income housing, senior housing, and disability shelters are nearly nonexistent any more, and whatever is available has waiting lists years long, and vacancies are being earmarked for the new migrants pouring over the border.
We don't have, in the US, just the problem of ppl having no homes, we have the problem of ppl having no physical protection while being homeless in one of the most violent countries in the world.

I'm beginning to doubt that.
My apt, for example, wasn't redone, just a quick whip around. When I went to sign my lease & came back to my new place, all the appliances had been replaced w moldy, rusty ones, and the floor tiles had marks from moving devices. Later, as copper and electricity became rerouted, I lost my radiant heat, replaced by baseboard heat, far too wimpy to actually warm a room at all. The door was rehung at a tilt so not only is it easy to move the locks wo a key, they've also cut the bottom of the outside hall door so there's lots of cold air blowing in. They also got tired of moving the locks on the apt windows (wh I think can only be done from inside the apt) and broke the ropes that open and close the windows. Lots of gaps and cold air here too.
Here's what neighborhood ppl have told me about what goes on here.
Any requests for repairs are sometimes made, but never kept. So, it's the tenants fault they didn't report them. Maintenance ppl have traded out their old tools when they find a new one in my apt. or anything else they choose to take.
In the end, I'm told, I will be charged for all the damages.
Yes the cops know, yes ppl around town know, yes it makes me look like the bad guy. Except that, my hands are in very poor shape and I could never do any of these things myself.
Ppl in business, especially small business ppl in a small town can get away w anything.

$5k is far more than $1500. All over the country, for decades now, the #1 requirement is income must be 3-3 1/2 x the monthly rent. If you have $1500/month, rent must be no more than $500/month, or less.
Properties now ask that residents split all the costs of the property, that is, electricity, sewage, water, trash removal, maintenance, snow removal (main road, not sidewalks) and lawn/landscaping care, renters insurance, and the cost of making out your bill.😆 This is in addition to your apt utilities wh are going to be at least electricty and gas.
The apts and town have a lot of problems for residents, and crime and corruption is rampant.
America today. Thanks for the possibility of cheaper housing, but you can add $100-$200 more onto the cost of rent. Also, utilities are stolen and homeless, do a little work for the crims & get a night or so in an unrented apt or hallway. Maintenance regularly switches out appliances, windows, cabinet doors, etc. They take pkgs and mail so we dpend a lot of time giving explanations for missing, stolen, and destroyed goods. 🫣

Well, bud, look at the landlords. They are here to rip off Americans to get every penny they can. We're in PA. New ppl always taking over our apt complex and changing the rules. It's not just raising rent anymore. Now we pay our apt utilities plus everyone pays a portion of all the costs of the property, elec, gas, trash, sewage, maintenance, insurance, etc. etc.
If someone comes to rent an apt, owners send a worker to take pieces or appliances out of another place, then the person who moves into, what looked like a halfway decent place, sees his apt now has rusty appliances, splintered cabinets, maybe a missing window, someone hacking into his apt, electronic devices, phones. Electric cables are run everywhere, outlets dont work, heaters and a/c don't run, computerized devices suddenly no longer work or are forever wonky.
This is life in America for everyone now. The migrants aren't treated worse, bc they get paid less, they are allowed lots of ppl in one apt bc dumb but crafty owners think this is how they live, normally. Americans can't do that bc if the landlord rents to one person, two can't stay there, so just as if they had moved or vacationed in another country, Americans always are charged more, so they have to be paid more. Migrants get chances, Americans get screwed.

@armandoruiz8758
Don't be an 🫏.
N.C.S. America is a continent. But, there is no sensible way to name the ppls of the United States of America, so they are known as Americans and the area is known̈ as America bc that is a part of its name.
You don't have, for instance, The Chile of America, The Canada of America, or the Mexico of America, do you?
You have Chileans, Canadians, and Mexicans. What would you have ppl from the USA called? United Statesians? United Staters? United Statorians?
Of course not, you would use the last part of the States title, wh is America, therefore "Americans."
Anyone would know whether you were talking about the country or the continent by the context of your reference.
It looks like you need to think it out bc most ppl wonder why you have such a perpetually difficult time understanding that the country known as "America," and the continent of wh it is a part, are both known around the world as America.
As Sheldon would say, "Think, monkey, think.🤭

Not true. If you clean your house, mow your lawn, repair your driveway, do you want ppl coming over and ruining it an hour later?
No. You don't. The problem is these ppl didn't make the good life for themselves, they are just coming in to ruin the good life you worked so hard to create. Don't be a sucker.
Countries w socialized medicine won't take anyone from the US wo a doctors cert stating they don't have a chronic illness that would require them to need medical care on the country's expense BC THEY DIDNT PAY INTO IT!
Everyone understands and respects this demand. So why is it any different for America to say, "you didn't create this country. You can't move into it unless you can show you are an asset?"
An asset, by the way, is someone who can create a business to give jobs to citizens born in this country, not other countries, or their own countrymen, just like other countries required.
An asset is not someone who is qualified to take a job from an American whether it be unskilled or highly professional, unless it is someone who can teach citizens how to improve their country or businesses on a temporary basis, after wh they will return to their home country.
Other countries have made this requirement and increased their standard of living over the years, whereas, the US, mostly bc it continued to accept unnecessary immigration, no longer an asset, but a growing problem, has left itself open to being turned into a giant garbage can wh its citizens are being forced to abandon w no specific place to go.😢

@wolverinebear5357 doesn't matter. Unless he came here more than 100 yrs ago, he wasn't necessary.
You do know other countries, through the years, have brought in workers for specific ĵobs on a temporary basis then sent them home when their own citizens were trained and educated to do that job, don't you? The US bring the exception.
The reason the US is overflowing w useless ppl is bc they didn't remove temp workers when they were no longer needed.
Just another example of govt & businesses not doing their jobs, and not protecting their companies and workers, thereby creating a chaotic world of unhealthy, unhappy, ppl reduced to trying to survive wo food, clothing, shelter or hope for the future.
It's the American way.

@mummyza Nope. We have thousands of well educated citizens w multiple degrees, technical and technological and medical skills, etc, and we've nowhere near enough jobs for them.
When you have a job fir everyone who is qualified for and able to do a job, then, when we have more jobs than workers, we can invite workers temporarily. Later, if we need some very highly skilled workers who would be an asset to our country and, if we are in danger of losing them to another country, we may make them an offer of applying for residency as an incentive to stay.
It's just logic. This way, we can avoid an immigration crisis in the future.
Think about it. Allowing every warm body that can forge the Rio Grande, even if they are able and willing to work hard & pay taxes (same as everyone else) is no way to raise the level of prosperity or prestige of a nation.
