Looks like we need to work on fixing inequality. Thanks for pointing this out!
So, let's give the homeless 100k each, cash, steal it right from Donald Trump and his rich buddies. Hand it over to the homeless in CA. You win. So, what do you imagine happens next? In CA, do these suddenly successful homeless folks spend their fortunes on homes? Food? Liquor? Heck, let's give them a million dollars. Now what? What happens? Do you think that giving them 1 million will solve their problems? How about we hand over the keys to Amazon? Just divide the stock ownership to everyone who lives in a tent city. Does that solve the problem? How does that world look to you, with tent cities owning our most successful corporations...? This is a world without inequality where the stock holders of Amazon live in tents in Oakland, please do tell how this Utopia works...
Oh well, that's Oaklands problem and I'm sure they'll do a fine job of ignoring it until it flares up in the news and then they'll have some sort of summit or diversity march or whatnot for the 10PM news and then go back to ignoring it.
Favella's. I think that's the word that's used in Rio?
Wow, horrific. Looks worse than many third-world countries and Democrats have no plans except to make the third-world conditions much worse and more widespread.
Fires, disease outbreaks, people can't walk down sidewalks and horrific smells and Democrats say that is the price tag to live in a city that offers so much culture.
Democrats want mass squalor and huge tent cities so they can use it as in excuse to raise taxes for unfunded pensions, giveaways to unions and giveaways to special interests who vote and give money to Democrats.
I'd like to see any of our dem friends find coverage of this from the alphabet media ans share it with us.
With good reason. Without his voters, Trump would still be just some loudmouthed ex reality TV star, not POTUS inflicting all sorts of damage on the country.
Without his voters, (fill in the blanks with your favorite dem politician) would still be just some loudmouthed ex community organizer, wife of a rich man, pelosi and fienstein, wife of a former politician, not POTUS OR a Congressman/woman, inflicting all sorts of damage on the country.
No sympathy from me about people freezing to death in the northern Trump states. God is punishing them for voting for Trump.
Hmm. The only ones who have seem to be suffering are in South Chicago & parts of Minneapolis. Last time I looked they were Democrat. The rest? Keeping quite warm with the modern infrastructure found in these places.j
And unlike you, I do have sympathy for these people. Nobody should have to live like this in the USA.

Funny how so many libs THINK (?) ONLY repubs are rich!
"Are Democrats Now the Party of the Rich?"
"Maybe it's time to rebrand the Democrats as the party of the rich. This month saw the election of Jay Robert "J.B." Pritzker as governor of Illinois. Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, is worth an estimated $3.2 billion, and spent $171.5 million to get himself elected, according toMoney magazine.
Another winner was Edward M. "Ned" Lamont Jr., in the Connecticut governor's race. Lamont, an heir to the J.P. Morgan banking fortune of his great-grandfather Thomas Lamont, estimated his assets in 2006 at between $90 million and $300 million, and showed reporters tax returns last month with income totaling $18 million over 5 years.

The winner of the election for governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, filed financial disclosure forms as a member of the House of Representatives indicating estimated wealth of more than $300 million.
Pritzker, Lamont, and Polis are all Democrats.
The Democratic Party's list of possible presidential contenders for 2020 includes Michael Bloomberg, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at about $47 billion. A declared presidential candidate is a Democratic congressman from Maryland, John Delaney, who is worth an estimated $90 million. John Forbes Kerry might have another go at it, having recently acquired an $11.75 million, 18.75-acre property on Martha's Vineyard to go with his $10 million house on Boston's Louisburg Square.
And the list of potential successors to Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House includes a Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, Joseph Kennedy III, whose disclosed wealth of about $42 million stems primarily not from the Kennedy side of his family but rather from his mother Sheila Brewster Rauch's status as an heir to the Standard Oil fortune"
