The sooner privileged americans realize their time is over as the leading world power the better for the world. They had centuries of racism and white supremacy to spread privileged american imperialism.

This is the new normal they and they will be forced to accept for generations. The world will be a better place when this country is knocked down a peg or two. The people living here have no idea how the rest of the world lives and now they will experience it first hand in their cities. Hopefully it will teach them humility and how to be better humans to less fortunate.


Get help.


+1. Russia wants you back. Head out.

Volunteers drive around to the camps and link the residents to local social service agencies.

There is a lot of existing support structures for the homeless. Single women and families with young children are prioritized for housing (should the homeless want traditional housing.)


Thanks for this info. Clearly people are helping them - they have tents after all - and it’s good to know the services that they are connected to. It’s also important to remember that the city has been providing encampments water and sanitation services as well. I’ve seen honeybuckets, portable sinks and garbage cans that are serviced.

These people have not been neglected. Hopefully they can be housed and we can move on from this ridiculous situation.


Hospitalized, not necessarily “housed.” We need to rebuild the system of state hospital commitments like we had pre-1970s.

It’s another example of defining deviancy down, to use Daniel Patrick Mounihan’s phrase. Americans who are fed up have to be wiling to call out the deviancy and demand action.


If that upsets the “Wokes” then too bad.
