500 million? Not to worry, the Biden administration will just print some more.

This is the Cloward Piven strategy. It is working to destroy the country.

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

America used to be the “First World”, and we had the highest standards for everything in the world. Leftists saw that as white supremacy, when in fact it was simply Americans maintaining the highest values of our civilization. The leftists took over and dismantled the law and order apparatus in the name of fighting white supremacy, and here we are.

‘Hobos’ might be an appropriate term to use.

It’s a small price to pay to have a woke angry black female in charge of Los Angeles.

You can tell it is Calif. Media
The comments are all very lefty. It is the Gov’t’s fault because they didn’t give free houses.
The Gov’t OWES those people free homes.

Not one person explains what should be done when the homeless turn down help/housing when it neans giving up drugs /alcohol.

A lot of them look for unused outlets. Locally, a lot of the light poles were wired with an exterior outlet for plugging in decorative lighting...Christmas lights, or whatever. They were duct taping tarps to the pole, making a teepee, and plugging in space heaters.

The 10 million inconvenienced people are getting exactly what they voted for. I have zero sympathy and hope these jerks are without power for forever.

And the diehard lefties affected by this will still keep voting for the rats.

And those masquerading as conservatives will still vote rat because Trump creates mean Tweets.

Let them all simmer in the pot full of $hit stew they made for themselves.

“‘Hobos’ might be an appropriate term to use.”

I think better terms than “homeless” are mentally ill, druggies and alcoholics. The term homeless is meant to make us think these are just unfortunate people who have no role beyond bad circumstances in why they are homeless.
There is nothing innocent about most of these people. Also, there is nothing you can do to help them. If you put them in a home, they’ll loot it and leave it destroyed and too polluted to use. By making believe they are just “homeless” we allow this to continue.

There wasn't ONE SYLLABLE on the news mentioning the homeless camp there.
They said the cause was arson.
They did NOT say *what* burned up.

Who was the moron who leased out the city land under and beside the 10 to build A large bonfire? Someone paid off the fire marshal.

I can not find a single instance of any place or any time being made better with new melanated leadership. Coleman Young and Detroit for instance.

I bet the mayor requires the new repaired construction has bike lanes and a roundabout.
