As the U.S. economy slows down, those at the bottom of the economic food chain are being hit the hardest. Homelessness is surging, the number of Americans living in poverty is rising, and more Americans are considered to be among “the working poor” than ever before. Unfortunately, we are witnessing a historic economic shift right now, and economic conditions are only going to get even more harsh during the months ahead. Needless to say, that is really bad news for all of us.
According to a report from Harvard University, approximately 650,000 Americans were homeless at some point last year. That represented an increase of nearly 50 percent from 2015…
A January 25 report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies estimated that over 650,000 Americans experienced homelessness in 2023—up almost 50% from 2015. Costs of renting and home ownership have skyrocketed while wages largely stagnate. The Harvard report found that half of U.S. households are “cost-burdened” (meaning that 30-50% of monthly income goes to housing), and 12 million people are “severely cost-burdened.” These Americans stand one accident, health setback, or employment disruption away from eviction.
During the past several years, scores of tent cities have sprouted like mushrooms in and around U.S. cities from coast to coast.
One 32-year-old woman named Brandy that is living in a tent city near Winterhaven, Florida says that she has been living there for five years and literally has nowhere else to go…
I still love Columbo and the related shows from NBC.
Pluto has McMillian & Wife on now.
At least SF looked decent then.
In Wisconsin Biden read a speech about how the economy is great and getting better.
((Only we the people don’t believe that.))
CNN said on website today:
“As Biden leans into the unfinished business of his 2020 campaign — and urges voters to let him “finish the job” in 2024 — multiple outside advisers and donors have expressed worry the president is tacking too far to the left. The concern: A platform containing costly proposals like universal preschool, subsidized child and senior care, and expanded health care cater less to moderates than to the party’s base.
“One-eighth of one percent of the population is going to decide this election,” one longtime Biden donor tells CNN, requesting anonymity to share confidential conversations with the campaign. “I’ve told them to move more toward the middle.”
“Only a very small percentage of the invaders are vermin.”
100% of them are illegal.
and a large chunk of the middle class is headed in the same direction.
The only time SF was clean was when Dirty Harry cleaned up the place. 😎😎
Boarding houses used to be common, real common, room and board and usually great food cooked by little old ladies.
I even aspired to own one when I was young as a way to pay the mortgage and have a place to live myself, but I think rules and regulations killed them off.
Look at the old movies and how convenient and simple they were, you breezed into a city with your suitcase and while you were looking for work you rented a room from some old lady who cooked for you and the other tenants and would probably do your clothes for a fee.
If you want more of something, subsidize it.
If you want less of something, tax it.
“Immigrants” have nothing to do with my comment...
Do not try to change the subject...
The comment was about the filthy disease-ridden, economy-destroying, culture-destroying, 60-million, migrant-invader vermin that have flooded the country...
No exceptions, they are all criminals just by the very act of the communist-inspired & controlled invasion...
Go back to Politico with your obama-biden-supporting comments...
Yet the illegals get better treatment and housing medical food stamps you name it they get it for free …the government to Americans “GO TO HELL!!”And you wonder why millions upon millions around 13 mill have made their journey and counting to our nation. I would’ve made the trip too to the US if I was an illegal invader. Hell Why not everything‘s free here to those breaking our laws!!

This Brandy?

And you know this how????
“Gen-Zers Slide Deeper Into Debt As Bidenomics Failure Crushes America’s Future Leaders “
“It may seem crazy, but here’s some advice for heavily indebted Gen-Zers:
Put down the smartphone.
Stop spending on DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Perhaps cancel a few streaming services.
Also, the spending party is over despite calls from the White House to cancel student debt.
The rising debt load Gen-Zers are carrying is alarming. The average credit-card balance for 22- to 24-year-olds was $2,834 in 1Q23, compared with an average inflation-adjusted balance of $2,248 in the same period in 2013, according to Wall Street Journal, citing new data from credit-reporting agency TransUnion.
The youngest generation is coming to age during a time when Bidenomics has been a complete failure, and these kids are spending themselves in financial ruin. “
Raise his hand as among the working poor.
lower class Americans have been pushed out onto the fringes of society thanks to the free Traitors and open border neoCON scum that traded in Christianity for “diversity” as the national religion. Pushed out by immigrants, legal and illegal taking all the resources and jobs.
“Building back better”...
Save those big refrigerator boxes!
Yes. Because of illegal immigration.
Let’s legalize Marijuana and see where that takes us...
Their vote s have consequences.
