Click bait article. They aren't making the act of being homeless illegal, just panhandling and loitering. Granted, that's how the majority of homeless people make any type of money, but the status of being homeless isn't being made illegal. They aren't going to just run around and round up all the homeless people walking on the street.

tupac said it best. have the poor/homeless move into the white house and have the politicians live on the street and have them transition back and forth on a weekly basis.

People don't understand that the wealthy have been fighting a class war against everyone else for a long time. In Kansas, there's a move underway to privatize schools and charge parents $3,500 per semester for tuition. In other words, poor children won't even be educated any more. That's where it's all headed.

my one cousin does that doctors without boarders and he went to ethiopia to help take care of the people there. i forget what number the population is and he said there was a total of like 200 doctors in the entire country thats it.

he said that part of the world is just sad pretty much. he was suppose to stay like 2 weeks but only lasted a a week.


that stuff he does he pays out of his own pocket and hes been to like haiti as well. whole different world in regards to the poverty discussion

When I was in school and we were doing a project on housing for the homeless, the rule of thumb we were given was that the homeless population (in the US, anyway) is divided roughly into thirds, as far as to the root cause of their homelessness. 1/3 are homeless because of problems with substance abuse, 1/3 are homeless because of mental health issues, and 1/3 are homeless because of financial reversals that they couldn't cope with (loss of job, etc. when they were on the edge financially, and therefore couldn't afford to maintain a residence).

Apparently the tendency is to target programs at the third group because they seem easiest to help, and people are more likely to feel like "that could be me". But we were encouraged to try to address all three groups in our project (as if we youngsters were going to develop anything remotely like a viable solution in a couple months, but it certainly made us think). One thing that did seem clear is that there was no easy answer, even given unlimited funds. Some of the homeless are literally incapable of keeping it together sufficiently on their own to maintain a residence, even if you just handed them the money to buy a house, and arranged a job for them (which you couldn't really do for all homeless anyway).

im actually suprised there isnt like a label of specific homeless people because you have your drug addicted ones your alcoholic ones and your mentally ill ones.

the mentally ill ones imo should be helped because its not like they chose to be that way unlike drugs or alcohol.

Well, I'm pretty sure the proposals also involve vouchers to pay for the schooling, so it isn't quite that simple, but as a child of two public school teachers, I'm very skeptical about the notion of any elimination of the baseline "public school" that is freely (through taxes, so not REALLY free, I guess) available to everybody. The more you allow public funds to be diverted to private education, the less funds will be available for any remaining public schools, making their quality suffer, thus causing more people to opt for the private choices, thus starving the public schools even further for funds.

To be honest I find it ludicrous that America doesn't have a national health service yet, it's immoral that everyone has to pay for basic healthcare, especially the poor who cannot afford it. Yes you'd have to pay extra taxes but the poor people who can't afford healthcare would be able to get it, I think it's a moral obligation of the government to provide basic care. So this discussion of privatising more schools is really un-tasteful, I think it's bas enough that in the UK there is such thing as private schools, everyone at a basic education level should all be taught equally and given equal chances of succeeding in life. I think America also should outlaw private school.

THAT, I disagree with. That would be truly un-American, IMHO. As long as public education is made available to all, I don't think there is any justification for denying people the right to choose to pay for a private education on their own. Or to educate their own kids, if they so choose (up to a certain point, anyway).

I do to be honest. It's unequal and gives rich kids better qualifications just because their mummy and daddy paid for them. No, children rich or poor should have exactly the same standard of education and be taught exactly the same as each other. That way children can achieve academically regardless of status. Of course there are still some poor kids who do very well at school and some rich private school kids who do poorly but when it comes to statistics, it seems the private schooled do better in life, I mean for fucks sake a bunch of private school boys are running the UK and I presume US too, there's got to be something going on there.
