[quote:Anonymous Coward 80360585:MV80ODE2Mjk0Xzg3ODc1Mzc4XzNFQTRBOThG] [quote:Starbird:MV80ODE2Mjk0Xzg3ODc0OTI2XzExNDA5MjdF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 80374510:MV80ODE2Mjk0Xzg3ODc0NTMwX0U4MjJGRjZF] I know I should have more compassion but most of those people are there by choice. [/quote] We are all burned out from the Covid "crisis" - I get it. Its weird though I waiver from cold hearted to moved with empathy a lot more these days. I took several bags of canned goods to the food bank this morning, it had nothing to do with this - and I was moved by how hard it is for some right now. Then I got home and saw the email. People are suffering right now. I was thinking as I was driving around its like a new version of the Dust Bowl getting going. I am afraid its about to get worse too. [/quote] I have never been homeless, but have known several homeless people. In talking with them and observing them and other homeless people that used to stay and drift around where I used to live, I found that about 85% of them had mental and/or drug problems. Most are getting some sort of government check (around $600-900 mth) which is quickly spent on drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, pet food, lottery games. Many also get food stamps. There is a lot of help for these people thru programs and such, but they don't want to go to shelters, etc because there are rules they would have to follow. A lot of them have also been kicked out of homes and shelters for violent behavior. And yet they always seem to blame everyone else for their problems to get sympathy and cash from people. One solution would be to open back up the mental institutions that were closed years ago. At least these people could be taken care of properly. [/quote]
