The World Bank Economic Development forum on Facebook does not like it when I post local stuff about here in Anaheim, they want to focus on poor areas such as in Africa, etc. What they do not understand is that we have poor people here and people here who need help just like any other place on Earth, we have 60,000 homeless people out on the streets of Los Angeles alone. The World Bank can help a lot in California. But, the World Bank is more interested in Ukraine right now, and with other places where people really need help.
And our local government is rich, California has surpluses, but they are not helping the homeless, I do not see the money helping the people. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and there needs to be a bridge between the rich and the poor, and there needs to be people who are turning the surpluses in housing, healthcare, education, etc.
I am embarrassed that some of my posts were declined on the World Bank forum because they consider California to be rich and we are not supposed to need the World Bank in California. But, we have poor people and homeless people in California and the money is not making it into the hands of the people who need it.
Salute,
