Homeless?

[Eatsleeptrap]

Please be careful lumping them all together. You asked for opinions. How about some facts. As recently as 2024, 5% of the homeless were veterans and 20% of male homeless folks were veterans. There are a lot of heroes out there, cold and hungry, and they cannot do anything about it because of the train wreck in their heads. They are not lazy drug addicts.

It's all racism and not enough money for various organizations: marx would LOVE the "non-profit" moniker. The NRA fucked up/capitulated long ago: It's not too late to pull back the "pendulum".

That is all.

What percentage of those individuals were going to end up on the street regardless of their veteran status? There is a non-zero percentage of people that join the military because they have few other options, and they don't call it 'Uncle Sam's Misguided Children' for nothing.

And there is plenty of help out there for them if they are willing to seek it. Fact is some just don't want to and there's a percentage that would be in the same situation whether they served or not.

What percentage of those individuals were going …..they don't call it 'Uncle Sam's Misguided Children' for nothing.

That’s a Marine specific reference….not that it matters.

Problem with these programs\handouts\free money is, the more they give out the longer the lines are getting to receive the "free stuff".

When they were showing the homeless in Bismarck on the news the other day, there was a lady sitting in a chair under the canopy smoking a dart and talking on her cell phone.

I guess her priorities are different than mine.

They all have smart phones

Have a friend that lived in Dickinson. He said they never had a homeless problem Eva use they didn’t have any homeless shelters. Just like the movie quote “if you build it, they will come”

Sure they can, but not ALL of them. Anyone who throws around words like ALL or NEVER is just an ignorant stumblefuck.
