RE: 10 Things I Learned From Being Homeless

in #story7 years ago

@arbitrarykitten, powerful article... I cannot even imagine what that experience must be like; I "lived" on a bench by the 8th hole of the local municipal golf course... but I was a healthy 22-year old unattached male. And that was hard enough.

Stories like this keeps underscoring the reality I keep arriving at... that the US of A is essentially the world's largest "3rd world country." A dirty little secret nobody talks about.

Sort:  

Thanks to The Greatest President of all Times that problem will solve itself! Without health care all those filthy rascals and their muddy offspring will die in the next winter!! And it even saves money!!!

If you didn't catch it, that was sarcasm.

Homelessness is big business, Sir! One of the biggest problems I notice is that there are so many little organizations that "help" the homeless. However, they cannot do anything more than refer to food and clothes banks, help with GED, hand applications to Low Income Housing and the Federal "food stamp" program... These many small organizations DO NOT network with each other, nor do they offer any real help in and of themselves. Yet they are receiving a mad amount of funds...

And there lies the real problem, fake news is just fluff/bluff and filter. We've allowed the mindscapers to decide for far too long...what is what and where we will be.

It's the no real news that's really tearing society down. The uninformed public is simply the compost which allows the regeneration of these illusions of freedoms.

To be completely honest, after living it I feel that the "powers that be" WANT the homeless population to remain that way. My mind can't help but equating this to the Japanese Tenement Camp fiasco. Far too many similarities for comfort...

I think you're correct. Late last year a homeless action group took over a disused building in the centre of Dublin and housed 30 homeless people, with beds, appliances, toiletries and money donated by a willing public. They were taken to court and the judge ordered the building be vacated. They're definitely not looking for solutions!

They keep doing the same thing here. Then, the people have to live on the street, and the city conducts sweeps to gather their few belongings, tents and sleeping bags and scurries them on their way to look for another location.
