There are also a lot of “normal” people on the streets now.

Well, they shouldn't be on the streets. Churches will provide assistance if they are truly needy. But, in reality, the vast majority of the homeless are rotten criminals (looters) preying on productive people (the good guys).

I used to do volunteer work/ fund raising for a women’s shelter. The question was often asked why there was not a comparable men’s shelter in the area. The response was that men were more difficult especially if they were substance abusers. The men were fighters with staff and elach other.

I don’t know where you live or where you last checked with churches, but many are simply running out of funds because the need is too great.

The food banks here, both ones run by large non-profits and ones run by churches, are empty or nearly empty many days a month. The shelters that take families are full with long waiting lists.

I think you are basing your ideas on this subject on what his historically been known to be true about street and/or homeless people. I like Rush also, but on this, both he and you are mistaken. People are hurting badly and many just cannot find jobs.

I know about the job situation because I was laid off 2 years and 9 months ago and have not found anything else. I have applied for so many jobs that it’s mind boggling. I hear over qualified, we’re going in another direction, we’ll keep your resume on file....etc. I’ve even applied for entry level jobs and fast food jobs, but those won’t hire because they feel the minute someone offers me more money, I’m gone. Thank goodness my husband has a decent job or we, too, would have been on the streets. I was making $50,000 per year and am not even wanting anything close to that. I just want a job. I’d bet a good number of homeless feel the same.
