I dont think I am being mean. But just because you say Im wrong doesnt mean I am. Just because I don't readily accept the official narrative has no indication of my intelligence or lack there of.
Thank goodness although miniscule. There is some modicum freedom left in this country. I choose not to believe and I will continue to openly express my disapproval
when I am not in agreement.

Are you implying I am hateful?

I'm always amazed by these starry eyed people.

Homelessness, drugs, gun crime, and a twenty year balls-up in the Middle East is never an American problem but always a Democrat problem. I can assure them the rest of the world just sees social breakdown and madness.

....There's only one way to cope with Mr. Thom . I pray for him and his wife every night.

Now tell us how many times this has happened. IF and when it did, did he/she jump out of their vehicle shouting, I am a Trump supporter? How did you know? Did you pull your Glock and shout in defiance, I am a Liberal from Left Wing La La Land, to throw the fear of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders into them? Did the big bad Trump supporter scare your little panties off?

Let me guess. It never happened. You are making this up trying to impress your Snowflake friends here in The Attic. Are you telling us Left Wingers never suffer road Rage? What model and caliber Glock? Did the Trump supporter give it back to you nicely or did you have to extricate it from Uranus?

The homelessness problem is only going to get worse because of the end of the Pandemic relief funding.

Evictions are underway all across the country, unless states or local governments have put eviction prohibitions in place.

Granted, there are still tons of Pandemic relief funding available, the problem is the application process.

For most homeless people, access to internet services isn't always easy.

When you're newly homeless and living in a tent or cardboard box, storing tax records is often the last thing on the minds of the homeless. Those tax records are needed to apply for Pandemic relief funding.

For the long-term homeless people, there's often a drug use problem.

There are programs available to those who've come to the point where they're ready to face their addiction and try to clean up their act. BUT, there aren't nearly enough spaces available in rehab programs for the sheer volume of addicts out on the streets. The best way to reduce the number of addicts on the street is to increase the number of rehab programs and spaces all across the country.

Every state and major city has more than one homeless encampment, you just need to drive around and open your eyes to find them hiding in plain sight.

Another problem is affordable housing.

The trend in housing over the last 20-30 years has been to McMansionize properties to the point that middle-class people are being priced out of the market. The Pandemic only exacerbated the problem with bidding wars for reduced number of available properties.

Back in the 1980's we saw a similar problem with overpriced houses ending up with upside-down mortgages. History has repeated itself during the Pandemic.

I don't pitty anyone who got into a bidding war for a house over the last 18 months. They're going to face a problem when they try to sell their overvalued house in the future.

As a country, we need more affordable housing.

Affordable housing, not necessarily low income high rise towers in inner cities.

1,200 to 2,000 square foot starter homes, not 3,500+ square foot McMansions.

The Pandemic has exposed the huge wealth gap in this country. We're a country of the haves and the have nots.

I expected nothing less from an ex-cop, self-styled macho man. "Panties" "Snowflake" I'll bet Uranus is wide enough to accept my Glock 23 Gen 4.

At times, yes. You've changed a lot in the last several months. The changes that show here aren't good. I don't know you as a person. I only know who you are here.

soba1 Loc: Somewhere In So Ca

No one is perfect and I try not to be mean. You are consistent with your hateful condescending snide remarks.
You cannot help yourself…..
I know my reason for change.

thom w Loc: San Jose, CA

Critical, and hateful, are two very different things.

soba1 Loc: Somewhere In So Ca

You are very mean spirited….
