The Problem With Homelessness

 What it is?!

My city introduced a homeless shelter 4 houses down the street from my house recently. Currently we have a major problem with the homeless in the city. The city council has done nothing to control the situation and has left the taxpayer in the dark about their bandaid attempts to solve the issue. As a home owner I have 2 issues. 1. They put the shelter close to a residential area and school. 2. This has attracted no just the homeless but a variety of other vagrants aka drug users 
I have had people trying to set up tents in my yard, people trying to open my door and general noise and vandalism in the area.
The police won't touch them unless they're on the property. When they do respond, the person is gone before they arrive leaving a mess with nothing done. Bylaw will not help saying it is a police issue. This leaves Joe taxpayer footing the bill for these people and let with a mess. 
Well what to do?
I am now seriously thinking of going to the media so possibly shame the city into doing something.
A friend of mine recently told me that it is the occasional habit of the police to pick up the homeless that are causing issues and drop them off in the next city so they don't have to do paperwork! WOW! TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!
I get it, it's not an easy issue, but bandaid solutions and phone conversations saying "come winter they won't be there" is not the answer.
I forgot to tell you, the city has also opened up "clean needle injection sites!!" Isn't the point to get them off drugs and become societal member. How is aiding an addict fixing the needle/drug issue? 
Why not spend the money for a shelter? Or better yet, focus on getting them established so they can work and PAY TAXES LIKE ME! WOW, there's a thought. 
Right now, I don't feel safe in my neighborhood because I don't know if these homeless people are violent or not. 
The city wants to make the shelter a permanent site. What will happen since it is next to the school?
Oh the dilemma of our society 
Have a Good Day!
 


What Does War Mean To The Masses Now?

War, for what ever reason throughout history, has always meant one thing...MONEY and Political Position!

North America  was conquered by Europe for many reasons... expansion, gold, political gain and dominance.

South America met the same fate at the hands of the same people.

Countries that are invaded causing big or small wars are often done so for the capital gain, territorial expansion and world dominance. Some simple examples would be Rome trying to conquer the known world, Spanish, English and Dutch taking already occupied land by sheer force for profit in the 1500s. And the more modern version of Rome, the USA with their CIA in every backyard of a foreign country they can profit from.

War generates economics. Before war, there is usually a lull in the world markets, borderline recession and in some cases even depressions. How to get out of the financial mess? Have a War!! 

War drives everything from food to fuel and everything in between. It stimulates economies. Governments love this. It is an opportunity to kick start economies, lower debt and tax everyone more. Why? Cause there is more spent and made by people.

War is a machine that repeats itself over and over again through history. The only difference are the players, some retire, some die, but the game goes on.

Ask anyone in the Ukraine right now about what they think of the current invasion by Russia. I am sure the average Joe would tell you that its not what they want and leave us the hell alone.

The news sounds ominous or great depending on what side of the fence you are standing. But in the end the losers, whether the world climbs out of the recession/depression, will always be the innocent people that were sacrificed in the name of War.

Sadly, their legacy will be "Dead At The Hands Of The Greedy Word"

And so the merry-go-round will continue. Other nations in the future will just put a new spin on and old concept, ignite the ignorant into believing we are fighting evil and many will die.

Why cant we just dismantle banks, financial institutions, profiteers and anyone looking to make big bucks because of WAR! 

I think a dollar should be a dollar no matter where you live. I think what you have as a nation could be traded for what you need.

I think we should leave the destruction of the human race to global warming and asteroid impacts. Mother earth knows how to cull when the she thinks things are getting out of hand. SHE DOES NOT NEED OUR HELP.

So a word to the Putins, Bidens and all the other crazy leaders that are giving corporations leeway to line their pockets through war profits, you were put in place by people who believe in you and need your help. They don't want your "James Bond Villain" I want to dominate the world attitude. 

Because in the end, you as leader, still eat, sleep and shit like the rest of us only you do it in a slightly better bathroom.

Oh the World is crazy.....what can we do?

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Want to make a political statement: smile and show the peace sign.
