If it is true that joblessness is at an all time low then why do we have so many homeless? It's only the beginning folks. Under Trump over 7000 businesses have closed. The few businesses that have returned to the US or are startups are constructing highly automated factories employing very few people. Retails stores like Amazon, Walmart, etc., are going to completely automated checkout and have plans for automated stocking.
Secondly Trump has been shutting down social programs for adults as well as for children leaving them no other alternative other than begging.
The US is now becoming a third world country. You better get accustomed to seeing the homeless.
Better yet, under Trump, you may soon find yourself among their ranks.
That's the legacy of democratic party corruption. 5 more years of Trump will transform unproductive bums (who were told to give up by dims) into contributing, productive members of society. Though NYC and the west coast will probably require a solid decade of republican control in order to get their problems under control.
So a problem that has existed for generations under Presidents of different political affiliations will be resolved in five years. We’re saved. Miracles do exist. Amazing.
They are everywhere! Not just in cities, but even in nice suburban areas. Many shopping centers and near interstate always seem to have a homeless beggar. When did this start happening?
This is more true than some people realize. Some are organized groups who drop people off at various shopping centers and street corners with their signs, and pick them up later in the day. The local news station did a story on them when video taping the activities from a distance.
Many of them look like they're fully capable of working, they look healthy and in the 20's & 30's age groups.
Others are clearly down & out, older guys with tattered clothes who don't look healthy enough to work. Many of them appear to suffer from years of drinking or drug abuse.
Quite a difference between the two groups.
In Arizona where I spend the winter it there are so many people on street corners panhandling it is quite alarming. On top of that there are people walking through parking lots. One woman probably about 60 asks for $5 because her power was shut off. Even has a bill with her. Problem is I have been approached by the same woman several times over the past year. Years ago when I worked in California this guy would have a gas can and ask for money because his car ran out of gas on the freeway. The 2nd or 3rd time he approached me I said either you are lying or you really need to watch that gas gauge. He said my brother does some gas scam and he looks a lot like me, but I really did run out of gas. I do give him points for creativity but no money.
Its hard to tell who is real. I have seen older people with crutches or in a wheelchair that seem legit. But I remember a Eddie Murphy movie where he did the wheelchair scam.
