Politics Please say rock bottom is getting close

I believe she did. That doesn't mean it's good by default, does it?

She supports a lot of wasteful and harmful stuff, IMO.

 

Timing was bad imo, with covid putting a burden on local government, and the press /public showing panic with the overdose's and homelessness on the rise. But, the implication of the program didn't go well with funds and government slow to execute. In order to implement such a significant plan there needs to great coordination and accountability to execute and change for improvement along the way. Not sure that was the case?

 

You can't get great coordination among that many people. It needs to be super simple to work. Anything else just turns into excessive waste.

It was simple and the centrist and conservatives didn't like that. So they fought it every step of the way and told lies about it until they got support to make it more complicated.

 

American flags should be born in the USA now, too, Congress says

Now you'll finally be able to replace your Chinese American flag, with an American flag built right here in America.

Won't our forefathers be so proud of us, that we finally managed to wrestle our very own flag back, from another country...

 

They have jobs, but no homes. Inside America’s unseen homelessness crisis.

Good thing our military personnel fought for America, so that one day, even our homeless could work, eh. Wouldn't want our homeless to feel like unproductive citizens, after all. That'd be a national shame, that none of us, could ever live down.

 

Tina said it herself that there needs to be improved coordination and accountability. She signed the bill. I agree that there needs to be some simplicity for ant roll out but there needs to be a w ay to measure the effectiveness for improvements needed along the way. I hate Government Waste or where the hell did the money go.

 

Again, I don't care what Tina said.

The money was helping. It had literally just hit the streets the year prior to the measure being changed. You can't get that much money collected and distributed any faster than that. And Portland had been largely cleaned up, even in that short time.

Now we see fewer people even using the hotline. But that's awesome. At least we can give sick people misdemeanors and arrest them now and there is no requirement to actually help them. Though there is the OPTION for cities and counties to drop the misdemeanor if they want to stop extracting money from those poor individuals. Yeah right.

So that's good.

If you didn't see where the money from 110 was going then you didn't spend any time in the impacted areas. The improvement was substantial.

The important thing is now police can harass anybody they want again and give them misdemeanors that can tie them up in the system for years and completely destroy their lives, or maybe lead to them being shot if the police get jumpy.

But that's far more exciting than just using the money to help the people, like measure 110 allowed for.

 

This is not a prediction. Just an observation of the downward trend. The entire world is void of common sense, on many, many levels.

As an individual, I feel helpless. Sure we can try to improve some areas. But we face so many chalenges, complicated by political battles, and tunnel vision people pushing agendas. The world is controled by leaders and influencers driven by greed and lust for power. The end result does not look promising.

Hope this trend reverses. But as insurance, I am increasing and updating my prepper supplies.

Not only ordering more food and supplies that have a long storage life. But also replacing older batteries in my solar system.

Hope the world wakes up. But if not. I will be prepared. Sadly, even this may not be enough.

 

The Real Reason You Can’t Afford A House

 

House of Representatives shockingly managed to pass a bill to provide relief to low income Americans. It had majority support in Senate, but Senate Republicans blocked it because they don't want to give Biden a win.

 

Our doom has been sealed.

Israel is spending money to affect our U.S. elections. I don't see how this should be allowed.

This is a technique republicans have done quite a bit in the last decade: running conservatives as Democrats, then having them switch parties once they've won.

 

Yes this is very long, but also educational, and made me laugh out loud in spots.

 

I think places like California (cough Portland cough) are seeing a vacuum where it’s devoid of sane leadership. Average people are realizing they aren’t happy with living in a failed liberal fairytale that has now devolved into a dystopian nightmare. People who generally voted Democrat their entire lives are finding themselves disenfranchised by psychotic ideas like sexual conversion for children, apathy (or outright support) for “minor attracted persons” or rampant crime with no mitigation.
It’s really no surprise there are semi-sane democrats stepping up to defend classic democratic ideas without all the degeneracy people are getting sick of.

 

I'm impressed you spent more than 14 words on your response.
