It has, I do admit, taken longer for the “homelessness increasing” scary headlines to resume after Trump’s victory than I expected. I was figuring two-three weeks, but - then again - Hillary’s ABCNNBCBS national presstitute corpse was distracted for 14 months.
“Prominent names such as Toys R Us, Gymboree, Payless Shoes and RadioShack have all filed this year, and Sears Holdings (SHLD), which owns both the iconic Sears and Kmart chains, has warned there is “substantial doubt” it can remain in business.”
These chains have been on life support for years.

Check your figures WRT growing food!

THERE WERE NO Homeless People When 0Bozo Was President!
(Where did they come from?)
Exactly.
“I’ve stumbled upon an important datapoint. Homelessness has only been rampant when a republican is President.”
Worse. Under Obama the narrative was that he had cut homelessness in half: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2016/11/homelessness-obama-trump/508223/ The weird thing is that all of the Obama initiated programs are still in place so why would homelessness suddenly be going up???
And then again...
Homelessness up under Obama: https://www.allenwest.com/2016/04/13/obamas-america-under-his-watch-look-whats-happened-to-schoolchildren/
Or both down and up under Obama: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/08/the-astonishing-decline-of-homelessness-in-america/279050/
Or who knows? https://spectator.org/34531_obamas-homeless/
End “welfare as Bill Clinton knows it” and homelessness will plummet.
Big Government actively encourages people to lay-about and become gimmedats.

All of the afore mentioned chains are having difficulty competing with internet shopping.
For Sears, the total fault is the 1968 gun control act, which made department store sale of firearms nearly impossible. Guns were half of their profit margin.

Take all the money being given to foreign countries as humanitarian aid, all the money being given to ISIS and governments in the Middle East, and all the money being given to the United Nations, and use it to help the poor people of this country.
As America Gives Thanks, Homelessness Continues To Set New Records In Major Cities in America
Lots of lazy ass people around, particularly in large democrat sewers called major cities. Democrats buying votes with welfare and handouts is as old as the hills. It’s what they do.
As Rush has said: “Suddenly when there is a Republican in office, the media suddenly discovers the homeless!”
The outcome of 8 years of socialist policies: the rich got richer, the poor got poorer and the middle class shrunk.
Approaching socialist Utopia:
95% dependent poor population, 5% elite overlords.
I have never figured out why the poor are fooled into thinking socialism will help them.
Democrats are truly the party of the rich elites, and Republicans need to rebrand themselves the party of the poor and middle class. It is just a matter of branding... since in reality they are already so.
Well, they haven't been seen because the media doesn't report it until a Republican President is in office.
Also, maybe they are homeless because cities encourage homelessness by giving them a free place to stay, free needles for their drugs, free meals, free healthcare and most of them are either drug addicts or alcoholics.
No mention of course about how most of them are just plain LAZY!
Provide free food and lodging for all, and they flock to your city. Add a requirement that recipients have a job and the homeless population shrinks, and those who were pushed to get jobs are better off financially and self-esteem-wise.
A friend was telling about paying for the meal of a homeless man. He bought a beer and then gave the rest of the money to the tip jar.
In my city the city council passes taxes on home builders to include “affordable” units. The homeless tax drives up the cost of new housing and the value of existing homes. Thousands of low income people put their names into a lottery and maybe 20 or 30 of them win the lottery to move into an apartment for below market rent.
I think that a lot of the homeless people in Southern California have been encouraged to move here from other parts of the country.
Homelessness has little to do with the economy or job availability. The main causes of homelessness; namely, mental illness, drug and/or alcohol abuse, lack of skills, and last, but not least, laziness, are not amenable to a good economy or the chance for a job. Many homeless, if offered a job, would refuse it.
I have noticed that too. They should just reprint stories from when the Bushes were in office.
I had almost the same experience, minus the tip jar. Walked away embittered but wiser.
