The Los Angeles Homeless Containment Thread (Joshua Tree: incomes, standard of living, earnings)

And they could leave the service, whether they saw combat or not , with a new and translatable appreciation for who they are and where they are AND usable skills- instead of pawns for the liberal agenda- they would be a great success story and great Americans with something to be of proud of for once!

Not all people in the military are combat soldiers. There’s cooks, MP’s, office workers, medical workers. Teach a person to fish don’t just give them fish... just sayin

I never said that, but it's clear that you only copied parts of the article that you think supported your opinion.

These are facts . The homeless are creating issues for decent folks just trying to run businesses or get to work on public transit etc .
We are sick and tired of just being told to “deal with it “ and “homelessness isn’t a crime” and all the other social justice warrior nonsense .

It’s gotten and entirely out of hand and now the whole country and world is taking notice .
It’s an embarrassment and failure on behalf of our “leaders “

So, what's acceptable, 2 kids, none? Did it ever occur to you that a number of people had their children when they had jobs that made it able to provide for them?

More likely the exception rather than the rule . People don’t usually go from making a high income to making say minimum wage .

You don’t think it’s reasonable that people should only have kids they can afford ?

LOL, way ahead of you sweetie.

These two weren't corporate lawyers with six figure incomes and they both got laid off. Who after both being out of work for 3 years exhausted all their savings. These were people scraping by who had too many kids and absolutely no safety net due to a lack of planning.

Here's how it works, you don't keep having kids when you have lower paying jobs or no jobs.

The wife is a CNA, they were in FL, you're looking about $12 an hour even in 2018, this was 8 years ago.

They didn't have a pot to p**s in because they had too many children.

Yes, you stop at one or two when you can't afford to have more.

Not that hard of a concept.

I feel badly for the children, because IMO putting children into positions like this a form of abuse and neglect

Exactly.

Saw a news story on KTLA the other day about a man who weighs 500 pounds and his insurance company doesn't want to pay for gastric bypass surgery, no mention of course as to how he got so large. You're supposed to feel sorry for someone who is a glutton, I guess he just got that big overnight.

Apparently 2Sleepy doesn't believe anyone is responsible for themselves or has any control over situations like this.

I never said from a high income to making minimum wage but there were plenty of people during the recession who went from a decent job to nothing.

Of course it's reasonable but harping on about people who had too many kids does nothing to solve the problem and instead usually just gives insecure people a temporary excuse to feel superior and smug.
