  • Honestly you lost me at the first sentence.

    You seem to think that matters. It isn’t complex. Its simple. The solutions are simple. By trying to over think the solution you lose sight of the goal. You are commenting without really knowing the history of this subject. Homelessness is a epidemic now due in full to the destruction of the public mental health system. I know this and nothing anyone says will change that. I watched for years as every time my states budget came up they cut the funding.

    I watched as those I worked with had to make do with less. I watched people who were getting help to keep them stable lose coverage. The people who would have been institutionalized before the 80’s were let loose onto the streets. Frankly the complete lack of understanding is the problem we have with the current sad state of events. Coupled with the outright fear many of the worst minds in our society have for mental health in general its lead us to this path and denying that just guarantees the problem will not be solved. Those minds gravitate toward power. They hone their masks to cover their true nature and get fools to vote for them. They cast blame and over complicate a rather simple matter as far as solutions are concerned. They fear exposure more than anything and think what they are doing is the best thing for them. Not for those fools who vote for them. Just for them.

    Don’t perpetuate the lie that the homeless situation is complex. Its simple. The people who are victims of it are complex but helping them isn’t.


  • The solution is so simple. Its two pronged. Get them a place to live. Help them with their problems. Its what happened in this country until a republican took apart the system that was designed to do that. It had its problems but the solution shouldn’t have been the abandonment of the national mental health system. This homeless problem is 100 percent tied directly to the utter failure of all politicians who ever supported cuts to the mental health system.

    The reason they do it is also simple. They are terrified that everyone will know how bad they are on the inside. Not realizing that most of us already know.










  • There was this old cold fusion joke that went something like that. Where a programmer notices someone getting free energy. They proceed to fix the bug, recompile and reboot. Fixing the problem.

    Days late but I’ve found it

    “Yo, Mike!” “Yeah, Gabe?” “We got a problem down on Earth. In Utah.” “I thought you fixed that last century!” “No, no, not that. Someone’s found a security problem in the physics program. They’re getting energy out of nowhere.” “Blessit! Lemme look… <tappity clickity tappity> Hey, it’s there all right! OK, just a sec… <tappity clickity tap… save… compile> There, that ought to patch it. Dist it out, wouldja?” – Cold Fusion, 1989
