Record Homelessness

 Hello! 

I hope you're hanging in there this election year.  What a roller coast ride it's been.  The Democrats ousted Crazy Joe, who supposedly got more votes than Obama (wink, wink).  Then they "promoted" "Side Chick" Kamala Harris, a devout rich Marxist.  Unfortunately for Kamala, the economy seems to be a hot ticket item for voters with the current sky rocketed inflation.  The economy is drastically affected by the border and record illegal immigration.  And Kamala had ONE and job she failed miserably- Border Czar.  Oh, and they also sent her over to negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, and as a result the war started two days later.  She's a "DEI hire" in every sense of the term, batting 0-2.  And now Kamala is pushing the same old communism since the beginning of time, only now it's referred to as "Equity" or an "Opportunity Economy."  Communism destroys incentive in the workforce, yet it's bundled up each election year with a new shiny red bow and a new campaign slogan.  Remember when they tried to sell it as "Hope and Change?" You can't sell Communism at face value - Orwell referred to this concept as "doublespeak."

This Red Rocks pic is a reminder to focus on the three areas of growth: Mental, physical, and spiritual.

There are states like Colorado with already record high homelessness EVEN BEFORE they started bussing in migrants into the sanctuary city in the middle of the night.  It's like one day we all woke up to see Venezuelans begging for handouts at every street corner in Denver Metro. Colorado, in an attempt to offer free transport and pitiful condemned housing, defunded millions from law enforcement to pay for these freeloaders.  Colorado didn't even need the votes, by the way!  The state of Colorado is already as blue as Kamala's face after sucking on a skin flute, without coming up for air.

Here's a little recap why illegal immigration will never boost the economy.  So, let's say in Kansas they hire US citizens at $15 an hour to operate and slaughter animals in a meat factory.  Suddenly busloads of Haitian illegals are bussed in and will work for $9/hour.  You've now taken native born residents out of the economy who were paying taxes into the system BUT now need assistance.  The new illegal workforce is sending money back home (Outside of the USA) and not paying taxes into the system since they're not on the books.  And, since they have no social security number and are not on the books, they are also standing in line for assistance.  It's not a sustainable model.  It only works in Ivy League Econ classes, but never in real life.

But let's even go back before 2020 before the border was flooded with illegal aliens.  Why is it that some areas of the US get record homelessness while some areas have no problem with it?  Homeless is a huge public policy problem.

The word homelessness is so misleading, for starters.  It has zero to do with a lack of homes.  It's a HUMAN problem, with the two main drivers being: Drug addiction and mental illness.  Despite these issues, the homeless population actually make rational decisions on where to live.  They move in droves to areas that are permissive in public policy, meaning the cities decriminalized tent cities, property crime, and drug consumption.  The homeless will always go where the public policy is MOST permissive.  It's a survival of the fittest migration pattern. 

Why in the world would homeless populations with no stable income migrate to some of the most expensive cost of living areas of the country?  Easy.  Because homeless people operate under an entirely different incentive system than the average citizen.  Homeless incentives include freebies and homeless services, legalized marijuana, and/or decriminalized public/street camping. 

If the goal is to make life as the chronically homeless super attractive, then the trend will only continue to grow, and we will persist in dodging human-feces covered sidewalks like I saw in Seattle earlier this year.  So GROSS!  

Thanks for stopping in!
