Shouldn’t we be getting the Americans off our streets before we bring in billions of Indians to shit in those selfsame streets?
By bringing in a group of people who shit in the street while so many people live on the streets, do we not risk that people will be shit on?
Is that truly the future we were promised?

The number of homeless people in the United States has reached a record level since the federal government began tracking teh figures in 2007. According to data released this week, almost three quarters of a million people, 771,000 are homeless in America, an increase of 18% compared to 2023, marking the sharpest annual rise in decades.
The figure published by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on Friday translates to approximately 23 out of every 10,000 people in the US. The increase follows a 12% rise in 2023, which the department attributed to skyrocketing rents and to the conclusion of pandemic assistance.
A severe lack of affordable housing nationwide is being compounded by “rising inflation, stagnating wages among middle- and lower-income households, and the persisting effects of systemic racism,” natural disasters, and an influx of migrants without access to stable housing, according to the HUD statement.
Frankly, virtually all of the white homeless people are junkies, and no one wants to address the root causes of junkies, instead they just want to say they’ll ban fentanyl, which is completely impossible.
This is another situation like saying you’re going to raise the birthrate by giving women more financial incentives: it’s a complete denial of the actual cause of the problem, because the cause of the problem is politically incorrect to talk about.
All meaning has been stripped from human existence (not in small part because of the women’s liberation movement, one might note). We’re at the point where “junkie living on the street” is a pretty valid life choice.
Like, I’m sure fentanyl feels pretty good, right? It must definitely feel better than being a single middle aged man working at an Amazon warehouse while believing there is no God.
America is still talking about “individualism” and saying society doesn’t exist. You cannot address mass junkies with that attitude, I can tell you that.

The current homelessness crisis is primarily the result of predatory hedge funds invading the housing market. See the IPS report “Billionaire Blowback on Housing” at https://ips-dc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/billionaire-housing-disruption-report.pdf
Homelessness endures because federal money to fix the problem ends up in the control of local nonprofits set up by municipal authorities to administer the funds. In the time-honored tradition of urban Democratic Part corruption, these create cushy jobs for favored partisans while generating a Kafkaesque maze of conflicting agencies with essentially zero accountability to the people whom they supposedly serve. California’s experience is documented here, in a Youtube video called “the Homeless Industrial Complex” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNxQ8JWxWMA

It is also true that there is what one might term an underclass of professional “homeless” con artists, outlaws who prey viciously on those poor souls who end up on the streets because of factors beyond their control. Bizarrely, some ideologues persist in trying to convince us that our problems stem from the poor having too much and the rich not having enough, and the solution is to relax all oversight over the corporate raider class.
The only cure for fentanyl is a bullet. Face it or put up with it.
Congress could – but never would – make “predatory hedge funds invading the housing market” unattractive. Tax laws are instead drafted by Wall Street to facilitate it.
We are ruled by those who don’t even think of us as their constituents, but tax aphids and cannon fodder, if they think about us at all. Those who continue voting in the Establishment’s puppet show elections bear responsibility for what this country has become.
Nope. Every single homeless person is a drug addict or alcoholic.

>Like, I’m sure fentanyl feels pretty good, right? It must definitely feel better than being a single middle aged man working at an Amazon warehouse while believing there is no God.
Most profound thing any political commenter has said in 2024.
14 cases of fentanyl abuse were reported among drug users in Beijing during 2005-2009.
Question in Google search: “Does China have a fentanyl epidemic?”
Top responses are about the deadly scourge of fentanyl with China as the *source.* In other words, China is not getting high on its own supply.
The vlogger Lei’s Real Talk did a recent show where she discusses the growth of HIV in China — unmarried people who are young still like sex and are promiscuous. Who knew? But the drug abuse problem isn’t there because the CCP is merciless when it finds the distributors.
So no, blocking drugs is not “impossible.” This is more libertarian bullshit along with free trade and open borders and it’s completely soaked into the brains of Americans.
Americans have a right to a speedy trial. Non-Americans who deal in dope should have an even speedier trial. Lets put those to good use instead of giving up on the vulnerable population.
I’ve seen better Kensington Avenue drivealong videos than that. That ain’t the half of it.
You sound like a socialist. Pure evil. Wanting to help people. Shame on you.
Throw a sop to the auto industry and buy a van for every homeless person.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and the other Money-Grubbing, Blood-Soaked Greedy Globalizer Plutocrat Oligarch Rats Are Using Open Borders Mass Immigration in order to Raise Housing Costs and Replace American Workers and to Crush AFFORDABLE FAMILY FORMATION for Young People Looking to Settle Down and Start Families.
Mass legal immigration, mass illegal immigration, REFUGEE OVERLOAD and ASYLUM SEEKER INUNDATION increases housing costs, lowers wages, swamps schools, overwhelms hospitals, destroys habitat for wildlife, causes urban and suburban sprawl, creates multicultural mayhem and brings infectious diseases, crime and terrorism to the United States of America.
Deep. Very deep. I wish I could call it, reasoning. Non judge mental?
Where did this all come from?
I’m sure you are an expert on the history of all that as well. The bliss. Or is it pride?
Certainly isn’t shame.
I don’t think Kensington Ave in Philadelphia is the best example of ‘homeless people in the United States’, since drug addicts and other seriously dysfunctional people, including the mentally ill, are known to congregate there.
Via immigration, over the last half century the US has imported tens of millions who can not unfairly be described as low quality human capital — similar to Blacks and lower class Whites affected by job loss etc, even in favorable times these people lead economically marginal lives — with the federal government now running $1t+ deficits, the cost of living has increased greatly over the last half decade or so — this makes leading a stable economic life difficult for everyone — today there are simply a lot more people who are unable to keep up.
The shame your father feels when he looks at you must break the poor man’s heart. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be so weak. Unless you’re just playing a part?
Saudi Arabia executed 28 drug smugglers in 2024. I’ll bet Riyadh doesn’t have a Kensington Ave.
He’s been busy… selling yo momma!!!
Or addicts can quit, internet tough guy. About half of them “age out” of their addictions by 35:
https://drugfoundation.org.nz/articles/ageing-out-of-addiction
You don’t hear about them. You only hear about the worst addiction cases. Those who enter treatment repeatedly, die young, or end up on the streets.
Funny, if you’re black and it’s 1970. It’s not too late, throw away the lady’s underwear and high heels you wear at night and start acting like a man. Stop the whining and whimpering and catty comments. Hopefully your father isn’t actually a pimp, just a regular guy who wants a man and not a ladyboy for a son and you can give the old man at least something to take to the grave. Because right now, you’re a mess. Unless you’re just playing a character here.

US credit card defaults soar to highest level in 14 years
US credit card defaults are reaching levels not seen since just after the 2008 financial crisis because high inflation is hitting low-income people hard — they were never able to save much, have likely depleted whatever savings they had, and now are unable to pay-off maxed-out credit cards.
Homelessness is the next stage of development towards the natural conclusion of corporate capitalism – revolution and anarchy.
