I think that the people who have been in government have been allowing things to get bad, they allowed there to be 60,000 homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles, I think that competent and diligent leaders would have dealt with the issue of homelessness in Los Angeles a long time ago.
You do not see homeless people on the streets of Rome, Italy, because they are diligent in helping the poor, and also you can sleep in a hostel where you can shower and sleep in a bed for $15 per night.
The people in the USA seem greedy, and corrupt, and everyone is out for themselves instead of helping other people, and our leaders are corrupt and they allowed there to be 60,000 homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles. We need to have a sense of community in the USA and we need to help our poor. And we need honest leaders. As you all know we had a Mayor in Anaheim who tried to sell Angel Stadium and get a million dollar kick-back, he was very corrupt, he was not serving the people, he was instead corrupt and he was ripping the people off.
Also, people in the USA need to stop trying to get rich from food, shelter, and health care. Instead of building new housing which would help our homeless, people keep buying the existing housing and they raise the rent to make more money, and they just keep raising the rent. Raising the rent on existing housing hurts the poor, and instead we need to build new housing and create new housing for the homeless and we need reasonable rent.
On the issue of food, we can bring our immigrants in from our Southern Border and we can put them all to work growing food.
And a thing about Rick Caruso is that he is an outsider, he was not in charge when Los Angeles got as bad as it is, and he is rich so he cannot be bought by special interests.
I did not know that Karen Bass was a social worker, and may God bless her for her service.
The streets are full of homeless people, crime is rising, there is food insecurity, and one third of our people in California are foreign born and they need for Americans to guide them and to teach them what it means to be an American.
The stars and the rich people used to help the people, and the writers in Hollywood tried to have good messages in their movies, and Hollywood helped to teach people what it meant to be an American, we need for the good people to rise in Hollywood. And we need more stars like Elizabeth Taylor was who work to help our people.
I cannot force everyone to be a Christian and to help the poor and the needy like it says in Matthew 25; 31-46, but we can teach people to be good people no matter what religion they decide to follow.
And we need to have filmmakers like Frank Capra was who inspire the best in humanity.
Of note, on hostels, we can allow the hostels to operate tax free in order to inspire people to open hostels in the USA, for $15 per night for a shower and a bed.
Salute,
Tony V.
