> What the woman did was 100% fucked up. Homelessness is such a difficult subject because we as a society do treat them like shit, at the same time homeless people can be an absolute bane on the communities they inhabit. I personally had to grapple with and physically toss a homeless guy out of the coffee shop I worked at. He would come in regularly demanding food/money and always made a scene. One day he straight up exposed himself to customers. Calling the cops accomplished nothing beside them showing up an hour later and telling us there is nothing they can do. More recently I had to cut my daughter's trip to the park short after only 5 minutes because a homeless guy that set up camp there was just screaming angry curses and vague threats at no one in particular. I feel for him obviously, but also fuck everything about doing that shit in a children's playground. None of this is to downplay what that employee did, just that I understand what likely frustrated her to get to that point. That's not an excuse to demean and potentially kill a fellow human obviously.

> I hate it but i agree. Not everyone can become "socialized" due to drugs, mental illness, injury, illness, etc. Not everyone has family or funds. So unless we, as a society, decide to let them die, by intent or apathy, we have decided (by default) to care for them. Right? There should be homes/institutions to provide the very basic care of a human body. And yes, im happy for my taxes to pay for it.

> I want to share a story i know to be true. A church in my city had a homeless man living in the bushes. They knew and let him stay. New pastor comes in, finds out and is livid. He says allowing him to live there is cruel and they, as a church, are called to get him help. And they do. They get him ID, help him apply for SSI and housing, etc. Good churches exist.

> I’m going to get downvoted for this but here goes. My local 7-11 has all kinds of homeless people. Most are non aggressive people that simply want shelter and hopefully a buck or two or some hot food from a patron and the employees. But there are two that are just a damn menace. One hangs in front and approaches you as you get out of the car “buy me a beer?” “Buy me cigarettes” “give me money”. I dread jamming down to my 7-11 for last minute milk, etc, for that reason. And the one I described at least doesn’t physically assault you. The other one has grabbed my arm, grabbed my purse, has attempted to wrest my car keys from my hands. And before you say “oh you must live in the ghetto” no, I live in the suburbs in Silicon Valley where 1,200 sq ft homes go for 1mil +. It sucks. For me and the homeless people

> Just a reminder that's assault. Next time call the police and request those charges. Then ask for a restraining order. It doesn't matter if you're simply holding a newspaper and someone grabs at it. People need to keep their hands off you and your property you're immediately in possession of. Source: popular lawyer on YouTube channel "Legal Eagle". The newspaper analogy was when he was watching Marvel's "Captain Marvel" and the biker grabs at the newspaper she's holding. You can't do that. Imagine this homeless person doing that to a cop. His/her ass would be in jail fast. If it's illegal to do it to a cop, it's probably illegal for them to do it to you.

> This is an interesting one, I think context would be necessary. I've handled homeless people before, worked at a grocery store in Seattle when I was younger. When we had a guy camping out underneath our loading dock we told him "you've got 5 minutes to get out of here or we're getting the hose from the floral department" so I'm following the line of thought this lady went through. I don't really know how to solve it either. Making housing more affordable would decrease incident rates of homelessness across the board, less people would fall into it. That's one part of the equation. I don't know what to do about drug addicts, part of me is very sympathetic because of addiction in my family, part of me thinks "How many times did something, someone, or some law, tell you NOT to do heroin/meth. How stupid are you" and makes me rankle at the idea of buying them a house with my tax money. Seeing some of these budgets for homeless mitigation (LA with like 80 million if I remember correctly) and the problem continues to get worse makes me VERY suspicious of the efficacy of current programs. I guess maybe some sort of work program would help? Get housed and fed in Alaska for a year, no drugs available, rehab there too or something. In exchange you gotta be a lumberjack for a year or something like that? I mean it's a rough idea but surely somebody with a more sociological background has come up with something smarter right? It's obvious the old ways aren't fixing the issue.

> Why is there widespread homelessness across the country? Why do so many people use substances to their own demise? Why are we unwilling or unable to provide healthcare including mental healthcare in the supposed richest country in the history of the world? All the other developed nations have been able to pull it off. Many “developing countries” have some sort of basic healthcare program. Why do so many people feel this way we are living isn’t working for most people? Why is education so underfunded? Why does obtaining higher education require those who weren’t lucky enough to be born into a family with means to take on unprecedented amounts of debt? To have a chance at being able to house/clothe/feed oneself? Why is housing being viewed and treated as a spec investment instead of idk housing for human beings? Private equity firms are buying up everything including housing and healthcare. Why do we have a political system that doesn’t work for most people? Corporations declared the same rights as people. The Citizens United decision that allows legal bribery. Our government has been captured by corporate interests. Homelessness is systemic in the United States. There are social needs that are material for a society to function. Profit/gain cannot be our only motivation. People need to be able to support themselves with the wages they earn. Over 50% of homeless people work. The visible homeless are a small fraction of people living in such circumstances.

> An a hundred dollar raise in rent in a given area raises homelessness by 9% in that area. People try to make this shit so complicated. And sure the addiction and mental illness doesn’t help. But it really is about being able to afford your fucking house. Also the way some people talk about people without a roof in the comments is giving me the creeps. Lumping them all into the same category and talking about them like they are less than animals. Shame on the lot of you that are doing this.

I personally had to grapple with and physically toss a homeless guy out of the coffee shop I worked at. He would come in regularly demanding food/money and always made a scene. One day he straight up exposed himself to customers. Calling the cops accomplished nothing beside them showing up an hour later and telling us there is nothing they can do. \nMore recently I had to cut my daughter's trip to the park short after only 5 minutes because a homeless guy that set up camp there was just screaming angry curses and vague threats at no one in particular. I feel for him obviously, but also fuck everything about doing that shit in a children's playground. \nNone of this is to downplay what that employee did, just that I understand what likely frustrated her to get to that point.

We can do much better!", ">\n\nI hate it but i agree. Not everyone can become \"socialized\" due to drugs, mental illness, injury, illness, etc. Not everyone has family or funds. So unless we, as a society, decide to let them die, by intent or apathy, we have decided (by default) to care for them.

My local 7-11 has all kinds of homeless people. Most are non aggressive people that simply want shelter and hopefully a buck or two or some hot food from a patron and the employees. But there are two that are just a damn menace. One hangs in front and approaches you as you get out of the car “buy me a beer?” “Buy me cigarettes” “give me money”. I dread jamming down to my 7-11 for last minute milk, etc, for that reason. And the one I described at least doesn’t physically assault you. The other one has grabbed my arm, grabbed my purse, has attempted to wrest my car keys from my hands. And before you say “oh you must live in the ghetto” no, I live in the suburbs in Silicon Valley where 1,200 sq ft homes go for 1mil +. It sucks. For me and the homeless people", ">\n\nJust a reminder that's assault. Next time call the police and request those charges.

People need to keep their hands off you and your property you're immediately in possession of.\nSource: popular lawyer on YouTube channel \"Legal Eagle\". The newspaper analogy was when he was watching Marvel's \"Captain Marvel\" and the biker grabs at the newspaper she's holding. You can't do that.\nImagine this homeless person doing that to a cop. His/her ass would be in jail fast.

When we had a guy camping out underneath our loading dock we told him \"you've got 5 minutes to get out of here or we're getting the hose from the floral department\" so I'm following the line of thought this lady went through. \nI don't really know how to solve it either. Making housing more affordable would decrease incident rates of homelessness across the board, less people would fall into it. That's one part of the equation. I don't know what to do about drug addicts, part of me is very sympathetic because of addiction in my family, part of me thinks \"How many times did something, someone, or some law, tell you NOT to do heroin/meth. How stupid are you\" and makes me rankle at the idea of buying them a house with my tax money. Seeing some of these budgets for homeless mitigation (LA with like 80 million if I remember correctly) and the problem continues to get worse makes me VERY suspicious of the efficacy of current programs. I guess maybe some sort of work program would help? Get housed and fed in Alaska for a year, no drugs available, rehab there too or something. In exchange you gotta be a lumberjack for a year or something like that? I mean it's a rough idea but surely somebody with a more sociological background has come up with something smarter right? It's obvious the old ways aren't fixing the issue.", ">\n\nWhy is there widespread homelessness across the country?\nWhy do so many people use substances to their own demise?\nWhy are we unwilling or unable to provide healthcare including mental healthcare in the supposed richest country in the history of the world?

Many “developing countries” have some sort of basic healthcare program. \nWhy do so many people feel this way we are living isn’t working for most people? \nWhy is education so underfunded?\nWhy does obtaining higher education require those who weren’t lucky enough to be born into a family with means to take on unprecedented amounts of debt? To have a chance at being able to house/clothe/feed oneself? \nWhy is housing being viewed and treated as a spec investment instead of idk housing for human beings? Private equity firms are buying up everything including housing and healthcare. \nWhy do we have a political system that doesn’t work for most people? Corporations declared the same rights as people. The Citizens United decision that allows legal bribery. Our government has been captured by corporate interests. \nHomelessness is systemic in the United States. There are social needs that are material for a society to function. Profit/gain cannot be our only motivation. \nPeople need to be able to support themselves with the wages they earn. Over 50% of homeless people work. The visible homeless are a small fraction of people living in such circumstances.", ">\n\nAn a hundred dollar raise in rent in a given area raises homelessness by 9% in that area. People try to make this shit so complicated. And sure the addiction and mental illness doesn’t help. But it really is about being able to afford your fucking house.

> Nope. He likely stole money from his last job as regional director at Harbor City Capital which the SEC is prosecuting for being a Ponzi scheme. Homie was a customer service agent at DISH network a few years ago with a history of evictions until he invented a new persona as a wealthy, highly educated wall street type with a MBA from NYU, openly gay, and grandchild of Jews that escaped the holocaust. He then joined the ponzi scheme that was Harbor City Capital and had claimed no knowledge of their fraud. He declared no assets in 2020 to hide the money trail from the ponzi. Then he was dumb enough this year to magically declare himself a multi millionaire with funds from the Devolder Organization registered in 2020. Supposedly the Devolder Organization is linked to Red Strategies who's officers are his former coworkers at Harbor Capital. He claims that this money is wealth from his family in Brazil, which makes total sense for a former customer service agent with a history of evictions whom fled to the US to escape legal problems in Brazil. So this is basically him getting busted for using his Ponzi money that he hid. The FBI/DOJ is involved most likely because of the possibility of this unexplained wealth coming from the ponzi scheme that he worked for. He used the stolen money to prop up his fake persona as a wealthy Wall street finance guy/property investor when he literally was just a guy struggling to make it until he decided to reinvent himself.

> You can't blame him. Our society set him up for it. The media is rarely ever the 5th estate and only a few outlets do investigative journalism. Plus, you can bypass all that by buying enough PR and enough ad buys to the point where the editors of the New York Times will be scared to run negative articles about you. Simply look at SBF on his apology tour and all the news outlets that initially ran sympathetic puff pieces saying what a swell guy he was even though it was obvious fraud as he had admitted to his multiple times. Even though the media openly covered his attempts at regulatory capture and buying out regulators by hiring everyone as consultants. I mean Elon lied his way into becoming the richest man on earth until recently by faking a degree in 1995 that didn't have until 2 years later and making up a story about a Stanford Phd program entirely. Then stealing a pitch he heard for a internet based yellow pages while working as an intern. It took internet sleuths on Twitter to do what no journalist ever did. Google Elon musk for his court cases to look for unsealed documents. And found unsealed court depositions from Musk's 2007 lawsuit where investors from the 90s sued him for fraud, which he settled. In it he gets cornered about lying about his degrees and de facto admits to lying about it, the court has his shady diplomas from Penn from 97 and Stanford stating there is no record for anyone with his name. It's no wonder that Theranos and Nikola tried to pull a Elon and fake it until you make it. Fake your credentials, fake your product, fake your IP, and become wealthy.

> It's not that they are above the law. It's just that the laws regarding them were written by guys who didn't originally intend for anyone other than land owning men to vote, so they assumed that the checks and balances is that the voters wouldn't possibly elect complete charlatans or egregious criminals, and if they did, it would be a short matter to get them expelled. So they figured the requirements would be simple, and the voters would then choose who would do the best job to protect their interests. What we are seeing are the problems with reforming the voter eligibility (a good thing), without ever once reforming the methods and requirements for holding office (a bad thing). Now it is far easier for the masses to be tricked into voting for liars and morons. On paper, it is a pretty simple process for Congress to expel George Santos. It requires only a two-thirds vote, and any ethical member of Congress would vote Yes. Now, the hard part is that there are now almost 51% of Congress is Republicans, and Republicans are remarkably short on even the most basic ethics these days, especially among their leadership. Plus, they're at the mercy of the same voters who elected this clown, and voted for morons and liars like Trump, Lake, Traitor-Greene, Boebert, Banks, (shit, this list is too long) or the scumbag charlatans like DeSantis, Cruz, Kennedy, etc.

> The facts are still coming to light. But according to court records obtained by The Daily Beast, Santos appears to be the subject of a previously unacknowledged Sept. 2019 divorce with a woman in Queens County, New York. The divorce—which Santos has not discussed publicly—adds new uncertainty to his already shaky biographical and political claims. The speculation is the marriage itself is for tax purposes, or maybe there's even more sketchiness involved.

> It's weird. The worst thing you can do if you have something to hide is go into politics. Yet they seem to like flocking to that designation.

No one will hide it for you.

> It *was* the worst thing.

Trump ended the concept of shame to Republicans, and now you're seeing who they really are deep down inside. This is the unapologetic GOP.

> Terrifying to see how easy our government positions can be breeched… via the Republican Party. First the ginger Russian lady. Now this guy. Foreign intelligence services must be salivating. They don’t have to get an intelligent asset that can “kind of” get some information from a government official… They can straight up plant their asset as the government official himself. All they have to do is run them as a Republican and give them money. The traitors in our midst will do the rest of the work for them and vote these trashbags through the primary, and the general if they can. Never thought I’d see the day when the Republican Party became the “traitor to the country” party.

Evicted customer service agent joins a Ponzi and then magically becomes wealthy with no known means, claiming it's wealth from his family in Brazil.", ">\n\nYup definitely going to jail then", ">\n\nHe can bunk up with that Sam Bank-man fraud guy then, tell a bunch of war stories together about how they stole shit and reminisce of the good ol days", ">\n\nSBF would scoff at this clown's small time con. SBF stole billions. This guy only managed to steal a few million.", ">\n\nIt's a bigger dick-fraud swinging party lol", ">\n\nYou can't blame him. Our society set him up for it. The media is rarely ever the 5th estate and only a few outlets do investigative journalism. Plus, you can bypass all that by buying enough PR and enough ad buys to the point where the editors of the New York Times will be scared to run negative articles about you.\nSimply look at SBF on his apology tour and all the news outlets that initially ran sympathetic puff pieces saying what a swell guy he was even though it was obvious fraud as he had admitted to his multiple times. Even though the media openly covered his attempts at regulatory capture and buying out regulators by hiring everyone as consultants.\nI mean Elon lied his way into becoming the richest man on earth until recently by faking a degree in 1995 that didn't have until 2 years later and making up a story about a Stanford Phd program entirely. Then stealing a pitch he heard for a internet based yellow pages while working as an intern.\nIt took internet sleuths on Twitter to do what no journalist ever did. Google Elon musk for his court cases to look for unsealed documents. And found unsealed court depositions from Musk's 2007 lawsuit where investors from the 90s sued him for fraud, which he settled. In it he gets cornered about lying about his degrees and de facto admits to lying about it, the court has his shady diplomas from Penn from 97 and Stanford stating there is no record for anyone with his name.\nIt's no wonder that Theranos and Nikola tried to pull a Elon and fake it until you make it. Fake your credentials, fake your product, fake your IP, and become wealthy.", ">\n\nThey better do something or I'm running for Georgia senate. I have 2 harvard degrees and I own 15 businesses in the state of GA. I'm a world war 1 and 2 vet. I saved the last governor from a bear attack with my bare hands and then got the bear into rehab for violence. \nI got kanye to stay quiet for 48 hours straight. I invented jello and the electric car. I am the 3rd richest person on earth and I can fly.\nVote for u/mexicandiaper and remember only commies fact check thats gay people stuff.", ">\n\nYou had me until the bear attack. And then I embarrassingly had to reread \"World War 1 and 2 vet.\"", ">\n\nIt's possible to have served in both wars. It's just not possible to have done that and still be living.", ">\n\nPretty disgraceful of you to doubt the word of a man who served his country not once, but twice.", ">\n\nHe said vet, but he meant \"veterinarian.\"", ">\n\nAny other job, you would lose for lying on your resume", ">\n\nStandards are lower for elected officials. They are above the law.", ">\n\nIt's not that they are above the law. It's just that the laws regarding them were written by guys who didn't originally intend for anyone other than land owning men to vote, so they assumed that the checks and balances is that the voters wouldn't possibly elect complete charlatans or egregious criminals, and if they did, it would be a short matter to get them expelled. So they figured the requirements would be simple, and the voters would then choose who would do the best job to protect their interests.\nWhat we are seeing are the problems with reforming the voter eligibility (a good thing), without ever once reforming the methods and requirements for holding office (a bad thing). Now it is far easier for the masses to be tricked into voting for liars and morons.\nOn paper, it is a pretty simple process for Congress to expel George Santos. It requires only a two-thirds vote, and any ethical member of Congress would vote Yes.\nNow, the hard part is that there are now almost 51% of Congress is Republicans, and Republicans are remarkably short on even the most basic ethics these days, especially among their leadership. Plus, they're at the mercy of the same voters who elected this clown, and voted for morons and liars like Trump, Lake, Traitor-Greene, Boebert, Banks, (shit, this list is too long) or the scumbag charlatans like DeSantis, Cruz, Kennedy, etc.", ">\n\nYou lost me hard in the first half there. We got criminals in politics because they decided anonymous donations and shit like this was legal.

The divorce—which Santos has not discussed publicly—adds new uncertainty to his already shaky biographical and political claims.\n\nThe speculation is the marriage itself is for tax purposes, or maybe there's even more sketchiness involved.", ">\n\nIf he were to have been hired at almost ANY job in the US and found to have falsified his application in any way, he would be fired. \nSo a Burger King would not allow him to work the drive-through but Republicans will likely still swear him in to serve in Congress? \nTells me all I need to know about the Republican criminal operation and secures my vote for every Democratic candidate possible until the day I die….", ">\n\nMan, this guy is speed running the usual MAGA politician trope .. get elected, display you're a horrible person, lie a bunch, commit crimes, and get investigated.\nMight be the fastest so far.", ">\n\nQuick, how many Scaramuccis?", ">\n\nIt's weird. The worst thing you can do if you have something to hide is go into politics. Yet they seem to like flocking to that designation.\nEdit - I think maybe I should have said that my statement should be reserved to those who are fledglings, or people who no one really cares about. You'll just screw yourself over. No one will hide it for you.", ">\n\nIt *was* the worst thing. The truly paradigm-shifting political effect that Trump had was showing the Republicans that if you're enough of a sociopath, most of the things that would end your career... won't. \nTrump ended the concept of shame to Republicans, and now you're seeing who they really are deep down inside. This is the unapologetic GOP.", ">\n\nFlood the streets with bullshit, so everyone else needs to swim through your bullshit.", ">\n\nWhat this made me realize… I’ve been holding myself back from all KINDS of jobs I could have applied for…", ">\n\nYou could even run for President!", ">\n\nTerrifying to see how easy our government positions can be breeched… via the Republican Party.\nFirst the ginger Russian lady. Now this guy.\nForeign intelligence services must be salivating. They don’t have to get an intelligent asset that can “kind of” get some information from a government official…\nThey can straight up plant their asset as the government official himself.\nAll they have to do is run them as a Republican and give them money. The traitors in our midst will do the rest of the work for them and vote these trashbags through the primary, and the general if they can. \nNever thought I’d see the day when the Republican Party became the “traitor to the country” party.", ">\n\nThere no way that someone this flexible with the truth has not done other shady things. Integrity used to be an important part of politics because of the influence politicians wield but obviously not now.", ">\n\nWe really do live in a post-truth world.
