65 million. Imagine the good that much money could do.
So you take a bunch of mentally ill people who are sex-obsessed,
Many of whom being homeless are drug addicted,, from a cohort that is far more violent per capita than the general population, and you have them all live together. What could go wrong
Got them gathered in one place, good.
Send in the psychiatrists.
Why are that many transgenders homeless? They’re broke after all the surgeries and medications?
“They’re broke after all the surgeries and medications?”
