It's an insult to people who work to pay their bills.

2018-05-03 12:02:36 UTC  

btw he has a phone that he is using to blast rap music

2018-05-03 12:02:40 UTC

Don't see how those two connect, but sure.

2018-05-03 12:03:10 UTC  

You be insulted.

2018-05-03 12:03:11 UTC  

I don't have sympathy for people who are able to do something and chose to do nothing.

2018-05-03 12:03:16 UTC  

Isn't/wasn't Harmful Opinions homeless?

2018-05-03 12:03:42 UTC  

oh, wtf happened to Harmful?

2018-05-03 12:03:48 UTC  

I didn't keep up with all the drama

2018-05-03 12:04:13 UTC  

part of the reason he stopped youtubing and focused only on Twitch

2018-05-03 12:04:17 UTC  

Was some sort of illness in the family

2018-05-03 12:04:23 UTC  

How about we just assume all homeless people are useless dregs, and put them in the gulag?

2018-05-03 12:04:29 UTC  

Then something(??) happened and he wound up being kicked out of the house or something

2018-05-03 12:04:39 UTC  

Isn't that what Stalin was doing?

2018-05-03 12:04:41 UTC  

If they appear to be fit, they must be fit.

2018-05-03 12:04:45 UTC  

It's logical

2018-05-03 12:04:46 UTC  

a crime for being homeless or something?

```Kitty and her 34-year-old daughter, Sura, who I met on a side street in Hollywood, saw California as a respite from difficult times.

Originally from Nevada, they moved first to Idaho, where they lost their jobs, and then to Arizona and eventually to California hoping to "start over".

Sura, who is transgender, says they choose to stay in Hollywood because the local LGBT centre is "really great".

Weather-beaten by the intense California sun, they live under canvas by night and spend time in local libraries during the day, mainly so that they can charge their mobile phones.

But living on the streets was never part of the plan.```

58k homeless in LA

2018-05-03 12:05:34 UTC  

It wouldn't sound unfair to suggest that a lot of poverty has to do with the cycle of attitude when it comes to government assistance and poor parenting, more from the state than the parents.

2018-05-03 12:05:44 UTC  

Let's see what the total population is..

2018-05-03 12:05:50 UTC  

four million

2018-05-03 12:06:00 UTC  

so 58,000 is bad, but as a percentage that's pretty small

2018-05-03 12:06:26 UTC  

I think that the LA & San Francisco has to do with a lot more than partisan talking points.

2018-05-03 12:06:35 UTC  

0.145%

2018-05-03 12:06:42 UTC  

sorry, 0.0145%

2018-05-03 12:06:45 UTC  

It's in large due to the culture surrounding the views on poverty and progress.

2018-05-03 12:07:05 UTC  

wouldn't be surprised if the majority of them are located in only a handful of locations though

2018-05-03 12:07:11 UTC  

```The highest rates of homelessness among states are in Hawaii (465 per 100,000), followed by New York (399) and California (367). The lowest homeless counts per capita come in Mississippi (81 per 100,000), Indiana (94) and Kansas (94).```

2018-05-03 12:07:31 UTC  

Nobody wants to live in Kansas

2018-05-03 12:08:28 UTC  

homeless problem: *solved*

2018-05-03 12:08:29 UTC  

Kansas City is in MISSOURI

2018-05-03 12:08:37 UTC  

😛

2018-05-03 12:08:56 UTC  

It's like they didn't want to be associated with the state

2018-05-03 12:09:05 UTC  

IIRC it was a war that actually did this

2018-05-03 12:09:09 UTC  

i think Civil War?

2018-05-03 12:09:12 UTC  

(Looks it up)
