ReplyDeleteFuck. More people asking for change and not getting it. From me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I love the army that produced it, but that was a piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteAll talking heads of a half dozen local politicians and activists officials strung together speaking political and social service-speak.
Not an interview with a single homeless person. No discussion at all but a few mentions on what really causes homelessness, except from people who probably ALL live in homes with two car garages.
Not a documentary at ALL! Homeless people are those who for one reason or another don't have family support... no one to move them in temporarily. Since LBJ's great society when the 'government PROGRAM" was invented, we farm out our family problems to the government, sweep them under the rug.
Grandma dies with some min wage nurse aid wipes her ass in a nursing home. They don't die at home anymore because us boomers are too busy taking our kids to soccer.
And hospitals don't keep the mentally ill anymore. They dismiss them to the street. No such thing as an asylum unless you killed someone. Theyre on the street.
And alcoholics and drug addicts who didn't heal themselves have pissed off their families so they won't allow them in the house anymore.
All homeless. We saw little of that in this 'documentary.' Just mostly some poor adults who've never had dental care, and a few cute kids, all in soft heart-string music.
Business likes to offer IDEAS, but they still vote Republican and export jobs to asia. So it's just all talk. Homeless is not a police issue. It's a family issue, and education issue, a drug rehab issue but most of all, a JOBS issue!
It ain't Obama, either. 9:45! What do YOU do to help your poorest relatives get back on your feet? Vote Republican to cut government services to people like these, I bet!
What hypocrites we are! Be sure to use some hand sanitizer after watching that... you might get germs on you from watching those cute blonde kids!
I support Bus Tickets to Portland for the homeless.
