    Ooooooohhhh.............talk about letting your Oregon City show........being married to an OC lady, I have always loved the way OC folks have looked at Canby. But then that started way, way, way before OC became SE Portland......Canby.....where your sister "can be" your wife......

    So fucked up. I have no idea what an Anna Dugger is, but that guy is obviously a complete piece of trash. I came across this this morning and it is somewhat related:

    Explore the U.S. Elite's Ties to Slavery
    Reuters found that 118 of America's most influential leaders have a slaveholding ancestor. Explore information about their forebears and the people they enslaved.

    There are 75,000 homeless in LA. If they budget $1 billion that is $13k per homeless person, per year, just in city spending.

    That's enough to cover the average 2br apartment price of $2,184 for 2 people as well as most of their utilities. https://www.apartmentlist.com/rent-report/ca/los-angeles

    State and federal programs have more than enough money to cover the other needs.

    This is a very solvable problem if we just choose to solve it.

    If they had chosen to "solve it", It wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

    Beyond that. There is plenty of money in the system to solve the problem. They just won't try to do so. As they "try" by throwing money at the problem... the problem is only getting worse. Why? They aren't going after the root cause of the homeless problem. Until they do, the problem will only keep getting worse, imo.

    Exactly. We have chosen not to solve it thus far.

    That's how Democrats are helping Republicans destroy this country. Fucking half measures that we know don't work. They can't work.

    And the magazine in which the piece appeared is a virulently racist anti-Semitic rag that hired George Lincoln Rockwell. Founder of American Nazi party.
