  1. Portland Oregon is horrible these days. Bums going to the “bathroom” right out in the open. Identity politics infesting the administrations in Portland from top to bottom. A police force that is often not there to fight crime.

    Small to midsize businesses have gone out due to vandalism. They can’t afford to pay the insurance costs and they costs they have to make to repair the damage.

    Ted Wheeler meanwhile just sits there and does nothing.

    It’s not just Joe Biden being incompetent as US President. It’s most everybody who have a seat of authority. They’re not doing anything to help these poor people.

    Driving up and down Interstate 5 in the Portland Oregon area is almost like seeing something straight out a horror movie.

  2. >cause problem
    >convince people it was the other guy
    >campaign on it
    >make the problem worse
    >blame the other guy
    >campaign on it
    >make it even worse
    >curse that dastardly other guy
    >campaign on it

    this can be continued until 1 of 2 things happens
    1: the town/city/state/country is completely destroyed
    or
    2: they find out it was actually you

  3. Liberals are lazy. It's so much easier giving people money. I got handed money without even asking for it (I guess I look poor) when I couldn't afford to pay for all my groceries.
    Giving people stuff is just degrading. In the moment it makes people feel good on both sides, but in fact it cheapens everybody. Charity is not something that anyone should want or accept, unless they are a leper.

  4. It’s soooo crazy to me that people from other countries are inthrawrled in our politics. It just shows how important we are and everyone knows it. This is why everyone hates to see the way these lib-tards are ruining our country.

  5. Author Jim Butcher was once asked how to write a dystopian Society he said well that's easy just try writing a utopian society and you'll find you have now written the perfect dystopian Society that's what these left-wing radicals have done by trying to create a Utopia which by the way means no place they have created the perfect dystopia

  6. Welfare's purpose is to keep you poor, for every dollar more you earn you will lose around 60 in welfare thus not just incentivizing not doing better but actually hurting the people on welfare if they try to get off it. This is 100% by design. (I'm talking about it in the US but I'm sure it's the same hustle in other countries.)

  7. I've worked with homeless people as a volunteer (here in the UK). The left definitely doesn't understand homelessness (nor food banks, unemployment or poverty FWIW). Homelessness is a complex subject, here in the UK it is effectively impossible to be homeless, the local authority has a long list of responsibilities when it comes to dealing with homeless people, when the lockdowns started the government gave local authorities massive funding to not just house homeless temporarily but to give them support to get them off the streets long-term. Now, if you're on the left (and the right, I suppose) you have to wonder with all that money all that support and all that impetus how it has made almost no difference to the numbers of people who are homeless (indeed, The Big Issue says the numbers have gone up) – and let's be clear as somebody who has been homeless in the past , albeit for a very short time, homeless means rough sleeping, if you have even a sofa to sleep on, no, no you're not (though you might be hurting yourself because it reduces the responsibilities of the LA). Why do we have this problem? Simple answer is the vast majority of these people who are not just temporarily homeless but either repeat or long-term homeless are essentially impossible to house in any traditional sense – one of or a combination of serious drug use, alcohol use or mental health problems as the prevailing cause – they get housed, they get kicked out because of problems that are caused, some of them even struggle to stay in overnight shelters because of the violence and disruptiveness that ensues. This is where the left not understanding these issues causes problems: back in the day many of these people would have done something that would have landed them in prison and/or in some sort of enforced drug rehabilitation and/or a more secure mental health unit where they can get help for their primary issues that would make them more houseable: what actually happens is the courts put these people back out on the streets for the crimes they commit, don't force them into drug rehabilitation programs and don't force them into secure mental health units to treat their mental health problems and all this is because of left-wing policymaking (and a little bit Thatcher). People with mental health problems who are unhouseable as a result should be put in semi-secure mental health units and treated until they can be successfully housed, people with addiction problems should be put into secure addiction treatment units until they no longer have those problems and can be housed successfully. Also FWIW we need something akin to the workhouse built for the modern age – bit less slave labour, bit more meaningful work and training whilst housed at reasonable cost. This doesn't have to be all that difficult. Unconditionally housing people like this like what was tried with Housing First in New York that is common cited isn't going to work – it's been tried and it fails 8 times out of 10; and it's usually easy to see it is going to fail – but that's what the left wants in their Inclusive Kingdom. It's not as bad in the UK as it certainly appears to be in California, but it's still pretty bad and would be trivially resolvable if we could have nice things.

  8. As someone with CPTSD due to abuse at the hands of a junkie, I can’t even listen to this let alone conceive of living in such a place!! I live in London and there are places where this Dystopia is beginning!!! 😢

  9. My husband visited San Francisco several times for his work and he was absolutely shocked by what he saw. This was over 4 years ago. He took loads of photos and I couldn't believe what he showed me. Tons of drug addicts all over the streets and in some cases, people covered in their own bodily fluids and walking around like zombies. Even in the up-town tourist areas, there were so many of these kinds of people suffering. I can't even imagine what it must be like now 😲😨😱🤦‍♀

  10. Huh…Better views for drug tripping then? “SF, come and get your nod on, we got the views for your drugged out pleasure.

    As someone who lived in the SF Bay Area, it is no longer foggy…it gets very cold or very hot. There hasn’t been regular London-style fog in more than a decade. So that argument is more false than it is already.

  11. More proof the the Left’s real goal is controlling and reducing the population. Trans operations sterilizing children, reducing food production, reducing energy production, worrying more about “global warming” than actual pollution, continually stoking racial tensions…
    Everything and anything to reduce the population.

  12. Over 500,000 homeless people in the US. Nobody thinks of these people as human. I like that the nation wants to be the hero. But for f*cks sake, why doesn't anyone even bother to help provide basic supplies to this population. Seriously. They can't be expected to work, at least provide backpacks and socks, shoes and a friggin shirt.

    But no, they literally make it illegal to help homeless people in some states in many ways. Signs that explicitly tell folks not to help the homeless. Not even joking. What sick f*ck thinks this is a good idea. Imagine calling 911(emergency help line in the US) and having them turn you away, while you are are being chased by people with ill intent? Imagine having them tell you to go sh!t in your hat when someone is choking to death?
