A new law allowing forcible removal of the homeless and public drug users went into effect on October 1st in Seattle, so I'm guessing that the cops have been spending their days bulldozing encampments.

So the homeless are probably either in jail, or recently de-tented. Probably moving south for the winter, as well. Shit gets chilly even with a tent. Without a tent? You'd be fucked.




The depravity is almost too much, even in liberal strongholds like Seattle.

It’s like in the old West where there’d be a tuberculosis outbreak or something and they’d just move all the sick folks into a barn outside of town where they can die. Helping them is too expensive and their existence is bumming me out, so fuck em!

Unfortunately, even at times when folks are dedicated to helping the homeless, they are still targeted.

The Betty Chin Center in Eureka has been vandalized and burgled many times in the past 10+years. Last year, some livable, modular-trailers she had donated to her were torched (never determined whether it was homeless or housed-folk who don't like the Center helping homeless), meaning several homeless families that would have had homes had to continue doing without.




It's a really nuanced set of issues, with no "one-size-fits-all" approach.

The EPD and APD go around 2-3x per year slashing tents and destroying property. Then they offer nowhere for the homeless to go. OCCASIONALLY they buy them bus passes to bigger cities where there may be public/private resources available. But again, this doesn't solve anything, especially since quite a number.of homeless do actually have jobs.



The flip side is that the homeless encampment often start fires in the summers with warming-fires. Our little town almost blazed twice last year because of it.

I watched a video about a man who was art of the swoop in San Francisco. He said they were put in buses and taken to a state in the sw, given food and a promise of housing.
He said they were drugged and he watched them be killed.
I understand it could be false.
Idk anymore
Everyone is gone.

We have a pretty bad homeless situation where I live.  I think the government should build more shelters so these people can live there instead of on the street....they already have emergency shelters for extreme weather, they can just expand on those.

It's 2024 pollution, disease, riots, and a chaotic social order have turned major cities into a giant roach trap for humans. Thankfully our government has found the perfect solution

Stupid unnecessary problems like this should be expected in a society where the leaders are literally just preparing for the next war to happen by strengthening their military over time.

It's this mindset that has been imprinted into the majority, thus driving people to become addicted to acquiring possessions and money.

If no war ever happens, then all of the effort, time, and money they have put into the military has all been for nothing. In vain.

Why are the world leaders all preparing for a world war, instead of looking for a solution to the problems?

To secure peace is to prepare for war.
