I only have an instagram connected to two or three hundred close friends and family. But it’s only for like, you know, pictures of our morning stools and stuff.
I hear you there for sure… i don’t know what the situation was like before though. Is this an improvement at all?
We are so conditioned to believe that being poor is our own fault and the being wealthy somehow means you’re a hard worker… which is 100% false. The opposite is closer to reality.
As someone who used to be homeless and walk 1 mile up into the woods most nights unless I was couch surfing… I’m down.
We need Medicare for all, the homeless you see on the street need services and a place to live. Lots of untreated mental disabilities and trauma. So many issues in their lives. They need some fucking help.
There are millions of homeless people who you probably see every day that you don’t even know are homeless… these are not those people.
Letting them live on a cardboard box in front of the convenient store is not a solution bro.
Edit: just to be clear, just because I have experienced some aspects of being homeless does not make me an expert on the subject. But I have definitely seen some crazy ass shit. And I was more of a traveling hippy than a local homeless person with mental illness and drug addiction. But… that said, I had zero safety net, and getting out of homelessness was one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult things I’ve ever done in my life. And I wasn’t able to do it by myself. I have a bit of disdain when I see these programs that let homeless people work for low wages. It’s a joke. Even housed people who work low wages can’t afford to move into a new place, let alone when you are starting off with just what you have in your pack, or your grocery cart or whatever…. And folks who actually have grocery carts are either mentally ill or very eccentric, fyi.
Oh no! He’s telling some homeless folks they can’t permanently live in a public space and build your own house there. He’s offering outreach and services every day for the next seven days before they have to leave… oh the travesty!!!
Agreed, I just meant that dividers and impenetrable fences like this are know to cause a lot of problems with migratory animals…..
