Not saying it is not possible, however, questions...

he mentions tent cities existing—I have never seen a tent city in the US...has anyone else.

Also, others asked what is is track record—it is noted what he predicted correctly; how is is his batting average inclluding errors?

There absolutely are tent cities in the US. Seattle recently had quite an uproar over a bunch of folks living in pink tents. I’m not talking five or ten people, I’m talking two or three hundred, maybe more.

You can still see the remnants of one at Camp Pendleton. It’s the one that housed the boat people in the 70’s.

Are you kidding about no tent cities? Please Mr. Ostrich, lift up your eyes.

Just click this google image page. I googled homeless tent city California and had no trouble finding countless pictures of existing tent cities.

Yep. I’ve seen them in Southern California.

They had one forming in Ontario California. Saw videos of it on the Los Angeles news. The local authorities were starting to kick them out. People from all over the country were there.
