Homelessness Reaches Record High as True Conservatives Call for Immigrant Tsunami to Rival Metal Gear

Shouldn’t we be getting the Americans off our streets before we bring in billions of Indians to shit on those streets?

By bringing in a group of people who shit on the street while so many people live on the streets, do we not risk that people will be shit on?

Is that truly the future we were promised?

RT:

The number of homeless people in the United States has reached a record level since the federal government began tracking teh figures in 2007. According to data released this week, almost three quarters of a million people, 771,000 are homeless in America, an increase of 18% compared to 2023, marking the sharpest annual rise in decades.

The figure published by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on Friday translates to approximately 23 out of every 10,000 people in the US. The increase follows a 12% rise in 2023, which the department attributed to skyrocketing rents and to the conclusion of pandemic assistance.

A severe lack of affordable housing nationwide is being compounded by “rising inflation, stagnating wages among middle- and lower-income households, and the persisting effects of systemic racism,” natural disasters, and an influx of migrants without access to stable housing, according to the HUD statement.

Frankly, virtually all of the white homeless people are junkies, and no one wants to address the root causes of junkies. Instead, they just want to say they’ll ban fentanyl, which is completely impossible.

This is another situation like saying you’re going to raise the birthrate by giving women more financial incentives: it’s a complete denial of the actual cause of the problem, because the cause of the problem is politically incorrect to talk about.

All meaning has been stripped from human existence (not in small part because of the women’s liberation movement, one might note). We’re at the point where “junkie living on the street” is a pretty valid life choice.

Like, I’m sure fentanyl feels pretty good, right? It must definitely feel better than being a single middle-aged man working at an Amazon warehouse while believing there is no God.

America is still talking about “individualism” and saying society doesn’t exist. You cannot address mass junkies with that attitude, I can tell you that.

Lugh: Most people are always one drink behind as Bogart said. The people are obsessed (rightfully so) by the crimes that were committed. So much so that they are blind to the great crimes about to be committed by "their side".

The People need religion. As Washington said, Only highly educated people, strangely formed, can be good without a belief in God. Or not be depressed as Anglin adds.

Similarly, the sexes need each other. Help men and men will take care of women. Help women, and men will die under bridges. Do I mean the sexes aren't the same (gasp!)? That one is better than the other? Indubitably. Women are good with small animals like children. And they like to decorate. So let's help them to do what they love.

Yeah, Indians, Mexicans, Central Americans, Middle Eastern Islams, African Blacks, Chinese, Russians, Filipinos, Venezuelans. Each with their own brand of criminal contingent. Corporations that trade H1B immigrants to lower wages, such as Disney, should be penalized. Maybe sued by the same unemployed as they create. Ask for a moment, how do they get away with it? Who enables the corporations to screw over American workers. Hmmm, maybe the same folks as keep the border open for a long time.

The creepy-crawly US government, the Deep State, the Swamp.

Also known as the most worthless organization in the world’s history.

I will add one tidbit that has clicked.

This centralized banking scheme is why we are so fucked.

They create wealth from thin air, but we have to work for every penny.

Not everyone has a viable skill and alas we are all several paychecks from living under a bush or bridge if we are not careful.

~ The Near-Tautology of The Failed State ~

The politicians who exist today weren't around when previous civilizations declined and/or collapsed. Many politicians demonstrate little evidence that they know how to effectively manage this one's decline/collapse (almost the opposite, that some are actually driving decline/collapse) as much as they might like us to think they do, or as much as some of us would like to think they do. Some are driving essentially blind and taking their captive populations-- hostages-- along for the ride.

---

"In summary, despite the common impression that societal collapse is rare, or even largely fictional, 'the picture that emerges is of a process recurrent in history, and global in its distribution' (Tainter, 1988). See also Yoffee and Cowgill (1988), Goldstein (1988), Ibn Khaldun (1958), Kondratieff (1984), and Parsons (1991). As Turchin and Nefedov (2009) contend, there is a great deal of support for 'the hypothesis that secular cycles — demographic–social–political oscillations of a very long period (centuries long) are the rule, rather than an exception in the large agrarian states and empires.'

This brings up the question of whether modern civilization is similarly susceptible. It may seem reasonable to believe that modern civilization, armed with its greater technological capacity, scientific knowledge, and energy resources, will be able to survive and endure whatever crises historical societies succumbed to. But the brief overview of collapses demonstrates not only the ubiquity of the phenomenon, but also the extent to which advanced, complex, and powerful societies are susceptible to collapse...

In this paper... we propose a simple model, not intended to describe actual individual cases, but rather to provide a general framework that allows carrying out 'thought experiments' for the phenomenon of collapse and to test changes that would avoid it. This model (called HANDY, for Human and Nature DYnamics) advances beyond existing biological dynamic population models by simultaneously modeling two separate important features which seem to appear across so many societies that have collapsed: (1) the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity (Abel, 1980, Catton, 1980, Kammen, 1994, Ladurie, 1987, Ponting, 1991, Postan, 1966, Redman, 1999, Redman et al., 2004, Wood, 1998, Wright, 2004), and (2) the economic stratification of society into Elites and Masses (or 'Commoners')"

If the Trump administration lessens homelessness — which I’ll bet it won’t — I’ll eat my hat.

I can say it was a major plank platform for Gavin Newsom.

With billions spent it has only ballooned in California.

Homeless people are everywhere now they used to be contained in certain sections of cities.

At least in San Diego they are literally EVERYWHERE.

I was in Malaysia just over a month ago and noticed something.

They had very little homelessness the streets were mostly clean and devoid of trash and for the most part pothole free. Yes, there was poverty and obvious extreme wealth, but it was different. Can't explain it. They had huge eight story malls full of products and a vibrancy you just don't really see in the US anymore.

Got home to San Diego the nation's finest city (self described) and was appalled at how trashed out everything is.

Garbage everywhere, homeless camps overflowing with filth radiating in all directions, streets falling apart and obvious illegal aliens running around all over.

California is now a third world country more like India minus the corpses washing down the river.

Instead of lepers we have zombies wacked out on fentanyl standing around staring off into space.

Thanks for the description.

Another thing I noticed Malaysia had a dollar a liter for regular unleaded gas.

Virginia was $2.69 a gallon as gas prices go so does society.

Cheap energy means a better economy which is part of why California is failing gas is over $4 bucks a gallon still.

Gee, I wonder if Homan takes the lead, if they just scoop up all the homeless that have no proof of a visa or a passport, or citizenship and just dump them into Mexico, how much the homeless ness would subside?

Yeah. I’m sure that this is exactly what’s going to happen under the watch of heroic Trump.

I think that Trump Derangement Syndrome and Trump National Savior Syndrome and Trump Hero Worship Syndrome and Trump Delusion Syndrome are all related. I think that Trump is a narcissist and a megalomaniac and an egomaniac. I don’t trust him. There are plethora reasons why I don’t trust him, including the swamp creatures he’s proposed for his cabinet and other posts. If this makes me “deranged”, guilty as charged. I’d rather be called crazy than trust a man like Trump.

I get it!

I held my nose and voted for him first time around with extreme reluctance.

He deserves a chance to make good on his mandate and has enough people tearing him down.

A leader always has people “tearing him down”. It goes with the territory. It remains to be seen if Trump leads a good second administration. I think his first admin was a disaster, first and foremost because he followed the advice of swamp creatures like Birx and Fauci. The CARES Act destroyed whatever economic recovery Trump could have taken credit for. Just less sovereign debt — ultimately the responsibility of the taxpayers — was added during the first Trump administration than during two Obama administrations, and probably more than during one Biden administration. We’ll see how Trump handles the debt crisis — the mother of all bubbles — during the next four years. I’m not hopeful. The debt problem is bigger than Trump.

Frankly, I don’t know how a debt jubilee could be declared and the country’s currency be put onto solid footing and the Federal Reserve banking system abolished. Hope springs eternal.

Now ask yourself, why do the super Blue, sanctuary areas want to cling onto their illegals or immigrants ( same folks?)? Exactly, how much free money are they getting from the Federal debt printers? Exactly how many of the higher-ups in the Blue zones are “owned” by the Mob. “Just like the old days!”
