Title: Why is the news not reporting about the homeless?
Post by: dwiley11 on March 29, 2020, 06:29:02 am
I believe its because they are dying off in record numbers, because our boarders are shut, no heroin can get in and no fentynal is going from china to mexico.

I feel so bad for these people.  They get completely forgotten.

Closed borders have proven to be not much more than a minor annoyance for Cartels. Fentanyl from China to Mexico is part of the problem but Mexico has discovered that their climate is better for producing wholesale product than selling retail from China. The media would have you believing that China is to blame but part of my job follows the sources as provided by subpoenas and international investigation agencies and Mexico is definitely in the big leagues. Sometimes the components and precursor ingredients for the drug come from China. Heroin is more expensive to produce in Mexico but cheaper than transporting from Afghanistan. Fentanyl proved to be a much less expensive derivative (and more deadly). I think that the reason we do not get news on the homeless is because we rarely get news on the homeless. The large number of Readers are selfish, wanting to know only about people like themselves, and the media makes money off of readers.

Hiya!

Yeah I have been thinking a lot about the homeless people or the invisible people. They have no place to go how are they coping? I did here on the news today about the government complaining about them being on our trains but where else can they go? I feel like they are looking at the homeless people as the carier for the disease and that is not fair. They are people too. We can all become homeless too. It's sad it is taking a disease to have them be noticed.

truth...


Remember those TV commercials about the harms of cigarette smoking and they ended with the simple graphic of the word "truth" in all lowercase letters for dramatic effect?


The same can be used with regard to king4cash's short but quite poignant post.


They repeatedly attack Trump for their position that he did nothing to slow the early spread of the virus; yet when he DID do something (close down travel from China and then later Italy) they accused him of being racist while continuing to report on the only story that was important to their agenda - impeachment.


Now Jim Acosta and all his bed-fellows want to say that Trump didn't act fast enough or with enough urgency. Nevermind that people like Nancy Pelosi and Bill De Blasio at the time were also encouraging people in San Francisco and New York to go out and socialize and ignore all of the early warning signs about public transmission of the virus. But it is Trump's fault that this thing spread like wildfire.


Pathetic liars = Democrats and news media.  ::)

We have a homeless group pretty significant one that lives in the woods on the other end of town from me and I dread to think what those poor people are doing during this time.

I volunteer at a soup kitchen that feeds the homeless and they still show up every day but I think it's really rough for them right now.  Some are tough but this is a huge change for them also and they ask for two bag lunches and just wander around the facility.  We try to help them as much as possible.

Where I live, there are people who feed the poor and help with giving them clothes. The idea is to practice distancing from others.

I seen stuff about it but it is not a major story because their is 9 million other things to report. I have plenty of faith in the homeless to survive. They have to endure so much as it is.
