Sometimes I think ZeroHedge just makes shit up.

ZeroHedge just reprints what others post.

Elect Hillary Clinton and the problem will be solved. The people who were working will be homeless and the ones who weren’t working will be living in the working peoples’ houses. Then after that, even less people will question Hillary.

I myself will be homeless after Thanksgiving this year due to the horribly high property taxes where the house is located. The county has foreclosed and will auction the house December 2nd.

Funny, it doesn’t lead in the news the way it did for every day of the Reagan administration.

Yes, here we are at the breaking point. We have thousands of homeless on the streets, and more and more, they are committing crimes, defecating in public, etc. etc. etc. Lots of neighborhoods you now have to have bars on your windows.

MSM: SHHhhhh!!! The moratorium on homeless reporting isn’t lifted until at least 1 month into the next Republican administration.

There are at least two tent cities in our Maryland county: one in the woods behind a Walmart and the other near a trailer park close to one of the county libraries where my daughter works. She says they have at least twenty or thirty people in the library every day from the tent city. They usually don’t cause problems and spend most of their time on the computers filing out job applications.

“I myself will be homeless after Thanksgiving this year due to the horribly high property taxes where the house is located. The county has foreclosed and will auction the house December 2nd.”

My deepest sympathies.

The carpetbaggers did a lot of that during Reconstruction, too. One of the things that led to the first KKK.

Hired at an insurance agency?
If as a sales agent on straight commission, ugh! Been there, done that. You bust your butt 60+ hours per week and earn negative income. I don’t mean zero income, I mean negative. IOW, you’re paying to work.
You can easily spend more money out of your own pocket than you earn. I’d take minimum wage clerking at the dollar store before insurance sales.

just in Seattle and could not believe the tents everywhere....under bridges, alongside I-5 and I think we drove past the famous "jungle" where people have been killed....apparently heroin use is commonplace...

but heroin use by consenting adults is apparently victim less...so there's that..

“All in southern or otherwise temperate areas.”


Honolulu is overrun with these people-—and they love the airport for overnights because of benches and bathroom facilities.

Nice,huh?

My sympathies. But is there nothing you can do? No way to pay the back taxes? No way to mortgage the property to pay taxes so you can still live there?

Please pardon me, no disrespect intended. But I am alarmed that you will lose your home Dec 2nd, and saddened if you truly have no alternatives. Take care.

But the economy is rebounding and unemployment is down ... so no worries, right? o.O

This will immediately become Trumps fault if he’s elected. If hitlary is elected, it’s a leftover problem from the Bush years.

Yep. Exactly right.
