It is horrible here in the USA Bambu, I was homeless for 2 years out there on the streets, clean and sober with a college degree and years of work experience out there begging for a job and no one would hire me, I was homeless in my home country. My family has been in the USA for hundreds of years and I had to be homeless here.


I hear Battle Mountain is a literal paradise on earth. You should have moved there.

It is all about the people you have in your life, if you have a nice wife, and a family, then Battle Mountain, Nevada, is great, if you just want a nice safe place to love your wife and to raise your family, then Battle Mountain is great. And I would have rather been living in Battle Mountain instead of being homeless here in California, if I have to be a bum here then I will have no problem moving away. I would rather have a business and a home and a family in Battle Mountain, instead of being a bum here.

The only saving grace here is that we have good schools, and I can go to the schools to get help and to meet new people. Battle Mountain does not have a film school.

But, if I had a wife and family and if my wife wanted to live in Battle Mountain, then I would gladly live in Battle Mountain. And I lived in Battle Mountain for 2 years and worked as a cook at a casino, I was grateful to be able to get an honest job.

Also, if I could open a commune in Battle Mountain to help the homeless and the outcasts and the refugees, etc, then I would do it. The same ideas that I am sending to Carlos Santana I would do myself if I was rich and famous. I would be creating farms where the homeless people can work and where they can have a home and where they can be like a family with the other people on the commune. If I was Jeff Bezos then I would open communes for the outcasts where they can work on the farm and where they can have a home.

For the families coming from Ukraine, etc, it is better to buy cheap land in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and to have a home, instead of being homeless or on welfare in California. If they can have a farm in Nevada then that is what I would do instead of being homeless in California. Or if they can create a huge community of refugees from the Ukraine who all help each other, then they can do great things in Battle Mountain, and they can sell food to San Francisco, etc.

There is also Kiwanis International in Battle Mountain, Kiwanis is global, and that is always a good place to make new friends when you first move to an area. Here in Anaheim I met the people from City Hall, and I met the Chief Of Police, and lots of business owners here, at Kiwanis International, I was in Kiwanis for 2 years, and we helped the orphans in Mexico, etc, we raised money for new beds for an orphanage in Mexico. You can meet new people at Kiwanis anywhere in the world.

Salute,

Tony V.

The alternative is the Left/Far Left...aka China, Russia, NK, open borders, and Karl Marx.

China, Russia and NK are totalitarian states. Authoritarian and Fascist. Stop being so willfully dumb.

You missed the other two...the leftist /far leftist brigades of political correctness, multiculturalism, open borders, 'everyone in the world is a lovely person' massive legal and illegal immigration...the things Trump stood against.
Also Marx...the left's communist hero.

Most folks on the left value the work of Groucho more so than Karl.

Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments dont. Why should we? They talk about the people and the proletariat, I talk about the suckers and the mugs - its the same thing. They have their five year plans, so have I.

Bambu, to Donald Trump and their whole Trump family then guys like us are just losers. Trump would never allow me near him or any of his clubs or homes, and certainly the Trump family would never be out there helping the homeless, they do not understand what it is like to be poor and homeless, and they would just look down on me. Trump only likes the rich people. George W. Bush is a much better man than Trump is, and George W. Bush is a good Christian who I could be friends with. And Jeb Bush met his wife while helping to build an orphanage in Mexico. The Bush family is much better than the Trump family. To Trump we are all just losers, but to George W. Bush then we are all God's children.

On my tv just now:

"Microsoft to shed 10,000 jobs".

Horrible. Hope those workers don't finish up homeless.
Yes, one day you're fine, good job, paying the bills, enough food to eat, a nice bed to sleep in, warm home...life is comfortable.
Next day your job is gone,  your income has ceased, and your life is in turmoil.
Ok if you have plenty of money in the bank, but most peope don't.

In Battle Mountain, land is cheap, so the poor people can at least own their own land. It is a lot easier for people when their home is paid off.

And there needs to be communes where the homeless people can go live and work and where they are one big family. They can raise food and they can make cheese, etc.

When I was homeless I would have loved to have had a farm to go work on, and new friends at a commune.

Salute,

When I was a kid there were ranches in the desert for the orphans, they had like 14 boys on each ranch, and my Mother used to cut their hair for the boys, and I used to go with her, and I used to watch movies with the orphans, etc, and also I was friends with the orphans at school. The thing is, they all smoked cigarettes, and they all got into smoking pot and doing drugs, and they just all had horrible lives. They did time in juvenile hall for crimes, and they ended up homeless when they left the ranches, or they ended up in prison, they had horrible lives. It would have been better to make the ranches into real working ranches where the kids learn how to make cheese, etc, and where they have to work and where they learn responsibility. The orphans need to be prepared for life, instead of just letting them all smoke cigarettes and smoke pot and be stupid. They should be prepared for work, or college, or the military, etc, instead of being allowed to be stupid where nothing is expected of them. Those orphans never had a chance, they were not being raised right. They were just a bunch of juvenile delinquents with no parents to guide them.

We need to send the orphans to college for free, and we need groups such as CASA, and Big Brothers, to help the youth. There is also the Key Club for the youth, etc. And there is Youth For Christ for the young people.

Right now a lot of orphans are just being neglected, and their lives are just being wasted. We need to send the orphans to college, etc, instead of neglecting them.

People could build high density apartments like in Santorini, Greece, for the homeless to live in, and they can have tennis courts, and swimming pools, and libraries, etc. And they can grow and sell food to San Francisco, etc. I sent the idea to Carlos Santana, and to Goldie Hawn, and to some other people, maybe someone will start building communes for the homeless where the homeless can live and work.

No one of any political persuasion thinks you are a lovely person, Bambi. In that at least there is room for all sides to agree.

Oh yes they do. :)

They're building brightly-colored 'shed homes' for the homeless in LA. They're nice, small but nice.
They're building $600,000 and $800,000 cost to build apartments...but they can't build them fast enough.

Many of the homeless refuse govt etc help if it comes with rules, regulations, curfews etc. Say they want to be able to "come and go as I please".

My no 1 radio host used to say: "If you stand on the corner giving away free pies, everyone will take one".
If the govt starts giving away free luxury apartments, everyone will demand one.
Tricky is the solution to homelessness.

My idea is the best.
. Outlaw camping, living, on city or suburban streets, in parks, under bridges, under raised freeways, raised train lines, ...anywhere except in approved camp grounds etc.
. Remove anyone doing so from where they are to tent camps outside the cities/suburbs. From there the people can choose to leave the state or move elsewhere in it...or stay in the tent camps. [heating/cooling/food/medical/counseling/ beds, showers etc provided].
. The city/suburban streets then cleaned...no more sewer-streets...welcome back tourists...welcome back tourist dollars...welcome back businesses to SE Portland etc.

Everybody happy once again.
