I will check them out. But california is a basket case and has a riduculous level of homelessness and one would have to wonder why there are not programmes to link farming communities needing workers and these people.

His speech in the Senate today was disgraceful and showed how hypocritical he is. If he thought Trump was such an evil person that insited the crowd why didnât he vote guilty?? I think that speech was aimed at appeasing other senators in the house for his private agenda.
Cheers

most of those homeless people get monthly checks and most are on drugs, they not trying to work, i feel more bad for the people who have good jobs but canât afford to live where they work because of over price homes in cali
BTW: there are people in cali whoâs homeless but canât afford the high rent in cali
You are right. No arguement there. But what do you do?? Just give them cash so they can shoot it up their arms or do you put programmes into place that help them better themselves??

they been getting monthly checks for many years thatâs how they buy the drugs, if they wasnât on drugs they could pool their money and get a place, and the programs are in place but most chose drugs over getting help

How LA Profits from City-Wide Homeless Crisis
"Bread and Circusses"
At the end of the Roman Empire (West) - Those unable to earn a living were given free Bread and the state provided âentertainmentâ to keep them âHappyâ !
They were unable to earn a living because many had been farmers and the âBIG Techâ version of their time had taken away their meaningful work by employing Slaves who of course will work for nothing. (cf manufacturing jobs being done for âBig Techâ in China and the illegal immigrants âworkingâ the âBlack economyâ ) There was then no market for the âProduceâ of the âartisan workersâ andthey simply had no choice but to leave their homes and go to the city (Rome) to join the queues for the âBreadâ (which was made from grain imported from Egypt !)
For someone with no realistic means of providing themselves with a place on even the lowest of Maslowâs ârungsâ - (Food, Drink and shelter) other than to line up for handouts - then some form of diversion by way of drugs or drink has much to commend it and why indeed should they not indulge ?
meanwhile the âneedâ to administer the âeconomyâ simply increased the overead of âuseless eatersâ - (Beaurocracy) and the tax-rate on the competent got so high that the competent simply were overwhelmed and thus the money supply was simply increased by mixing base metals into the gold coins of the time (inflation)
When the Government even started refusing to take their own worthess âcoinageâ in payment of taxes things got to quite a difficult stage ! 
That - kiddiwinks is the stage which the Democrat cities have achieved and now it is inevitable as far as I can see that the whole country will follow.
I cannot of course precis 2.5 hours of education into a small post like this and there is a huge swathe of parallels which I do not mention here 
But well worth spending a little time in trying to understand the reality ;

Popcorn anyone ?

SmallPaul, I thought we agreed you were going to lay of the Trump for a few days and give some of those memory circuits a chance to grow back.
This is not news, that out come was known before the âTrailâ just like a year ago.
This is just a show to fuel hatred and keep Americans divided and you seem to be in the Keep America Divided camp , sad

Funny how a good conversation on $15 min wage has segue to immigration and now Homelessness, but donât worry, I have a solution that should satisfy everyone.
Letâs Trade our Curbside Residents to Mexico for Mexicans who want to work, it seems like the perfect solution for everyone, It is good for Mexico as it will help their economy, California gets their streets back, and Farmers have the labor they need. Where is the downside

Well I watched that.
Once again - it is simply an attack on those slightly higher in the pecking order than the homeless and does not even look at the real issues - which I refer to here.
I love the irony of that strategically placed advertisement for the book âHow goodness paysâ (Virtue signalling to make money ! )
Just typical âblame the patriarchyâ stuff - without a clue what she is talking about - or of any plausible âsolutionâ.

I think the progression is logical and inevitable tbh.
We tried importing Eastern Europeans to fill our âLow-paid workâ needs (Importing Slaves - equivalent) - Thatâs a whole 'nother issue mate ! (PS - you canât just âship - outâ actual citizens just because they might be an inconvenience - so you end up with huge resentment - over here the paperwork to get on to âWelfareâ is so onerous that once on it nobody with a brain can possibly take on âSeasonal employmentâ - It actually costs them money obnce you factor in the costsof âgetting back on itâ - hence the âBlack economyâ - I presume that just like all good beaucoracies - your unemployed will have similar issues !
