Yes, that's the American dream!

Move from California , Newsome is a Cuban style Dictator , It's strange how in two years of Biden ,all the homeless people numbers are growing

“It’s called the American Dream, you’d have to be asleep to believe it” - George Carlin

Dude what are you talking about? You have rich districts where an ordinary person cannot walk there, they immediately call the police, and the policeman will tell you "You have no right to walk here"

Landlords have rights too. They fail to mention in this documentary many landlords are individuals who use rentals as monthly income. If someone doesn’t pay rent, the landlord can’t pay their rent either.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 facts my family would never let me be homeless

this is so true. i've been homeless before and had to sleep in my car and in a tent..i hope to god i never end up in thattt situation again, but with no family, as i was a ward of the state....anything could happen very easily causing anyone in my position to become homeless.

i waited 34 years to have a procedure done as i didnt want to lose my home over the costs , im married and i figured if it kills me fine but im making sure my wife gets the property . i would say more but , doxxing.

​@@nedkelly2035 True. In the 60s/70s an average craftsman could afford to buy a house, 2 cars and still go on holiday 2 times a year. And the wife didnt even have to work and could care for the kids. Today me and my wife (both engineers with a degree with a full time job, I even got a second job self employed) in a so called first world country and we could barely afford to buy a house 2 years ago. Its crazy how much things changed.

@@Chris-yy7qc SO RIGHT! I grew up in a mill town (school years were 1959-1972), and what you described was exactly the situation. None of the moms in the neighborhood had jobs, though a few might have done a LITTLE of something like baking pies or cakes to sell or maybe something like making alterations to clothes, just to make a bit extra, but generally speaking, there was ONE household income most of the time only 40 hours per week. AND this was in non union jobs where we lived, which also provided on the job training. Our high school even had job skills classes that trained students for the work they would be applying for a graduation. A lifetime with the same company, fair pension, no worries. The biggest company in town was locally owned, and though the owners were millionaires, they were not BILLIONAIRES, which is probably a big part of the difference. Also they had they attitude of "Let's see if we can hire a few more people this year" rather than "Let's see how many jobs we can cut"

For Maria not the other black lady.

Actually, you are homeless when you live in your car. I, too, live in my car, and I live in Miami, Florida, USA. I've paid more in efficiencies (paying rent in an illegal apartment) pretty much paying landlords their mortgage. My efficiency went from 900.00 a month to 1200.00. It literally took me less than 10 steps from my kichenette to the front door.

It's weird how quite some people in the US do not feel nice about people having to live in this situation, yet also think socialism is a bad thing. Socialism is about dividing money in a fairer way, so that one can live a normal life when working 7 days a week. And even when working 5 days a week.

That's why it's important that anyone who is doing okay gives to charities who help people to not become homeless. Give people, give!

The total would be likely be hundreds of thousands of dollars before insurance in the US. Even with health insurance from an employer, that would easily be ten thousand dollars "out of pocket". It could vary considerably, depends on out of pocket max (a stop gap where the patient has reached a maximum amount paid in a year and wouldn't pay more - set by the specific health insurance plan). Without health insurance, that would be ruinous.

Asking for advice or assistance from a consultant or investment coach is the best line of action if you lack market understanding. Even though it sounds cliche or apparent, talking to a consultant has helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January 2023. That, in my opinion, is now the most successful strategy for entering the market.

Yes, you need wars and advanced weapons to keep petrodollar and US dominance in the world so that US citizens can continue with their comfortable lifestyle. Remember that you're buying oil from Gulf states with your paper (US dollar).

@@jeep19 How are you doing?

Life is about survival period. With over 8 billions people and only so much inhabitable land. We do not have very long to live due to desertification, deforestation, global warming, savage storms, massive pollution, drought, dwindling crop yields, shrinking water tables. diseased crops, sun baked crops. low supplies of fertilizers, shrinking diesel supplies and economic warfare and millions of acres of farmland has been sold to China and they will send those food crops to their own people and leave us high and dry. Your traitorous government could care less if we starve. They serve money not the dumbed down sheep they rule over and can enslave and tax in so many ways. After all, population control is their top agenda. Millions will die and this pill is far to hard for the dumbed down sheeple to swallow.

No one will help you. Let's face it, this is the case in capitalist countries. In the eyes of the capitalist government, the poor are just the source of war or cheap labor. Generally speaking, capitalists are not in anything but money!

It was tragicomical to hear. Like the pinnacle of the American "muh property" mentality. Even the garbage is a property and criminal to touch.

In some places is illegal to feed the homeless. Now even an act to help people is against the law.

What blows my mind is the wasted food and other items that are brand new found in dumpsters behind stores is destroyed to keep people from getting them. we are filling up land fills because people are greedy and wasteful.

Definitely. Same thing that happened at a Walmart I was at. Myself & the Person that was with me asked them (because we saw a huge Amount of Food behind the Store stacked on the Pavement), what happens to the Food. We mentioned that People should be able to come get it because of Starvation/Homelessness. They told us "No, we HAVE to throw it away. We have Foods that aren't even Expired yet but we HAVE to" . Told us that they were waiting on the Dump Truck to come get it. I was shocked. Sickening.

@@briasworld8 from a humanitarian point of view, food wastage is really such a crisis. But our current reality is we are govern by businesses and corporations. Food wastage is a huge liability so you will see virtually all corporations that sell food being very strict about wastage and it’s proper disposal. KFC doesn’t want media coverage for some homeless raiding their bins and eating and getting sick from old chicken pieces. This is their viewpoint and they must protect their businesses.

Yeah food should be able to be given away but companies won't because of potential lawsuits!

@David Huberty We just have an increase in social security. Probably less than most health insurance is. Most of the World can find a way to find the money. I am a supporter of the NHS and a member of the Conservative Party in the UK. Even those on the right hate the idea of privatisation health care. It would be like the privatisation of the entire education system. You need your health more than education. I do kind of get why it might not work in the US. I think it is more to do with expectation and culture. We don't have a suing culture here and we don't have any expectations. If things go wrong and are so slow, we understand and appreciate what we have. A lot of people do have health insurance but just like schools, it is up to you which you can afford and prefer.

My family is middle-class and we've never had kids as it meant we would be living off of government assistance for 18 years. We been married for 20 years so far, so it's been a good look at our past and seen we really wouldn't have made it financially with children. At one point, if we had children, we would have been homeless ourselves. Not having children gave us that extra income for the mortgage when my husband's job shutdown in two weeks.

@@trashawnbritt4681 You're welcome. I'm not against having children, me and my husband both grew up with stay-at-home Moms and there are benefits to one parent staying home holding down the fort - one person is running errands while the other is solely focused on the income. Then being a stay-at-home parent doesn't mean you're at home 18 years, you can go out and get a job when the kids become independent. It's hard having two parents working with an infant, both are losing sleep for the care of their child and stressing over work and Bills. It's easier with one parent focusing on the other. My job for over 10 years didn't have paid leave nor paid sick time. So I definitely couldn't have a baby. I could, but work wouldn't be paying me. We didn't even get paid vacations. It took a new job taking over that offered such benefits, but at that time we were racking up in hospital Bills. This doesn't mean being rich, but having enough money to pay for your child, Bills, mortgage and not worrying if you have enough money left in the bank for food. We couldn't even afford that.

Anger is conspicuous by its absence. However miserable their situation, no one seems to be angry. Even the woman being evicted may be crying but she is not angry at the guys evicting her.

I am homeless with my 2 children. My 1 son is autistic. We stay in our van mostly but try to stay in motels when we can. Because of the kids I can't stay in the van every day. I wasn't always like this. I lived over 30 years without experiencing homelessness. Because of so many on welfare I have applied several times and even had some social workers help me but there's ALWAYS a mess up on the end of the welfare dept because they just have too many people on welfare and not enough workers to answer phones so u can easily fix something they've messed up. Instead u have to wait over 6 weeks to even find out they've messed up and then start over. And it takes all day so when u have to live day by day u don't have time to keep doing that. Then when we have emergencies I CANNOT let my kids freeze, or go hungry, or without ANYTHING they need I will sometimes have to hold a sign to ask for help. Horrible people see I have a vehicle and I'm clean and my kids are clean and say your not homeless ! Your too clean ! U got a van ! Like they don't realize that the majority of people they see asking for help are drug addicts that don't spend the $ on food or cleaning products. And I had help getting this vehicle because mine was in such bad shape it kept breaking down and because I had no credit it cost me almost $600 a month ! This newer one costed me $300 a month with my trade in van which someone helped me to pay off the last couple grand and put the vehicle in their name so the payments would be low enough. But people don't get out and ask questions. They just assume and judge and look down on others. That's not people of God ! Because People of faith don't treat others like that. But I have faith that the Lord is keeping us safe and He will help us and guide us to where we need to be. God Bless all of u going thru a hard time. The Lord is with u even when it doesn't feel like it.

Why though are we allowing more and more people to come into the country to get help if we can't help the ones we have here already ? I don't understand that logic. It's a mathematical issue ! This amount of $ and job but too many ppl for that free $ and jobs =a negative! A BIG NEGATIVE !!!

In a country this prosperous no child should have to face poverty.

In 1 year POST ROE where will 500,000 unwanted babies end up?

The job of police in a capitalist society is first and foremost to protect property followed by maintaining order (not peace or "justice", or "public service") so that business can be easily and efficiently conducted.

@@Moosemoose1 We live in a police-state.

@@zumacraig Exactly! And what are the police protecting? The property of the wealthy

damn, that scene really got me - it's so messed up

Unfortunately this is true for a lot of people.

My student debt is literally why I am a federal employee. They own me twofold for the next 10 years, but that is a better outcome than most.

U still are the richest

I agree with you 💯%

@@deirdrejones7107 I’ve tried to get on with the government for that very reason, but it hasn’t worked out yet

That poor woman. Works so much, hard work. Then no home to go too.

Most likely she’ll marry a wealthy man and her problems will be solved. That’s how women think. For men things are more difficult.

AMAN ! Families need to care about each other !!

You're a great parent A lot of parents wouldn't be like that

My mothers the same way, moms like you are the saints of this world & that’s what built me to be the father I am today. I love taking the grandkids to my moms house all the time.

mu parents wanted me out of the house asap i can remember my dad saying ur not gone yet?! when I was only 12 years old

Its a long psychological web of thoughts. When you dont work ( as a man ) you either wanna be fu** all the time and drinking alcohol. Drugs makes them forget the situation and having $3× is the dopanime . The condom is the last thing on their mind.

Everyone? U know they have camps under bridges for homeless s-x offndrs.

no, you have to work for a home, everyone DOES deserve a secure, quiet place to sleep and keep simple personal belongings however.

u know there's food banks community gardens rescue missions in every city no reason to "starve" in amerika

@@banrap9369 I preferred to leave those resources to people less fortunate than I was at the time.

@@banrap9369 I'm not here to brag about whose had it worse. I was simply sharing a memory. I was employed and renting an apartment. I felt too entitled to ask for food, so I went without.

@@banrap9369 I'm happy to hear that. I hope you are doing better in life now.

@@DurhamCurse nah im homeless again lmao cause i was moved into a rental next to a trap house apt got more peace & sleep under the bridge

Same I watch as many of these as I can find. I’ve watched this one twice now.

The reason some people's perspectives are extreme black or extreme white with no contrast in between is denial and/or ignorance. It is 100% lack of knowledge or education of the situation though. Once you experience something 1st or 2nd hand, you sympathize or empathize for the situation. It's selfish if you ask me. I empathize for everyone everywhere. I can't help it. I feel for people.

They should never be room for lukewarm for sure. Black and white is good because we all get to know our positions and negotiate faithfully. Grey areas are the worst because there in comes severe deceit, killing, whoring, stealing, all kinds of vile sins. Grey areas are kin to motivational speeches perhaps now perceived as reality; yet the people with resources keep playing the strings.

@@asmongoldsmouth9839 Grey areas are the worst, you are deceived if you live in them because you certainly will be demoralized to even do anything besides watch documentaries.

People act as if those folks woke up one morning n decided to be homeless. People automatically believe they're either homeless and in poverty due to laziness, addiction, lack of skill or education. Truth be told there are thousands of professionals and intellectuals out in the streets. The housing market crash, the pandemic n the recession were all designed to siphon billions out of the system then disrupt n brake the American n world economy. Mergers & acquisitions n shipping Jobs overseas has been going on for years and homeless n poverty are all a direct result from it. These President's n political parties r all a big front now - they no longer work for "We the people". We no longer have a constitution that truly protects our rights as sovereign citizen's. The 41st congress passed the District of Columbia Organic "Act of 1871" which ammendment the old constitution n separated powers n control to the newly created "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION" !!!!!

My friend... Everyone feels that way but lacks the means or resources to do so... but on the other hand the ones with MORE THAN ENOUGH means and resources like MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES pass each other their money to HELP the those in need and NOTHING HAPPENS, because GREED gets in their way. For instance, Jeff Bezos donated Dolly Parton's CHARITY $121 MILLION dollar to help the HOMELESS just recently... Ummm, did that help to completely eradicate HOMELESSNESS in all of the state of Tennessee? Nope... What happened all those money? lol... Here is my question. *Why don't Americans have WAR ON HOMELESSNESS just like they have WAR on DRUGS?* LOL...😅😅😅😅

You need a guarantor or an insurance agency paid by the tenant to rent an apartment or a house in Japan, & your guarantor's financial situation (statement of income, tax returns) is verified. Must be extremely stressful to never be sure if one's going to be able to pay next month's rent, or if or when it's going to be raised.

Idk either. The housing situation here in the states is inhumane af

UK people are more Team oriented people, Americans are not.

You say that you pay that. You do not. It's added to the cost of the rent making it worse for your tenements who pay their rent. I live in rented property and regularly go without food to pay rent

@@MrPINKFL0YD that is not correct. The agency I use deducts this from the rent I receive every month. I always try to be $50-100 cheaper than any landlord in my area.

💯

Yes you can say that again! i feed and give food to poor people in my little community, so i know what it means to live in poverty!

Give Em Cash.

I've been disabled as a US military veteran, for 40 years. For the past 30 years, I have been living in my car, homeless. Your thoughts and prayers have not been helping me a bit. Please learn to appreciate your freedom, as it is not free or cheap. Cheato belongs in prison for tax evasion.

u white ppl havent seen poverty yet

You need to talk to your good president about all of this homelessness.he doesn't care about anyone.but,he's so worried about all the immigrants at the border!!!! Let them all in!!!! It's pretty sad to see all these poor people and children that have to live like this in America!!!! Very sad

how did the manager find out about your homeless situation?

I'm glad you got this generous help until you can stand on your own feet again. All the best ❣️

👍

Come to Pakistan you will stay with me for all life free .no worry. I m alone

I am grateful to God.

@@businesslife6548 Nobody is going to Pakistan.

Hey, just read this and was really touched by what you wrote, not just the difficulty you faced but how greatful you remained for what you did have going for you in your life at that time. I dont think I would have been able to remain as positive as you in those circumstances. Happy to hear that you are in a happy place now and that there is feeling that you really earned it.

Maybe you can do classes online to finish college? Possibly you can use the computers at an unemployment office or library.🥰

DO NOT REGRET dropping out. University is a business and when people believe that Uni is the only way to go, the Uni's love that. Get skills and experience like I did. That's what jobs look for, not some paper from some shiny big school. Save your money, stress and time from major disappointment. If you're going back to college, get certificates to what you want to do. Stay safe and good luck..

College is overrated. There are many jobless ppl with useless college degrees paying paying back their student loans who never had a job with their college degree I am one of them. Be happy you escaped the college trap and student loan debt that eats your heart out...

Thank you all so much! I hope that everyone can find their own happy place as well

Show me the proof of this story. Show me the news article of her arrest

@@ly5504 this particular story might not be 100 percent true,but there are many cases of homeless people,getting themselves arrested,just to spend even a small amount of time,sheltered,fed,clean and safe.

In construction I've known guys doing this during winter time when they knew lay offs were coming they'd call summer time for work release and get out and if needed do it again. Very common problem
