Fuck, this shit has been going on in CO for years.I was out there in 2003 for a MH conference thing..and back than I talked to homeless people out there and they told me about how fucked thier SSI and disability system was and they didn't get their checks repeatedly,and this was in 2003.I can't imagine how WORSE it has gotten... I was told the homeless have tent cities there..But if you ever walk the streets in Denver,there is not a cigarette butt or scrap of paper to be found on the streets It was so clean it was disconcerting like a model home that's supposed to look lived in but you can tell nobody lives there it's all a show..I wonder how much the state wastes in "keeping up appearances" in Denver?

States and too many people are still pretending as if they had no homeless people in their state..and that the greed based profit system ruining lives to feed the greedy rich isn't a human rights disaster perpetuated by greed and hate & this asinine war against 'weakness'..Saw a post here about a waste of money in California they are going to turn benches around in a shopping district in a public area so shoppers won't have to look at the results of this culture of greed face to face... as in..( eEEek A homeless person!! Oh No. asking me for money.. ooh I can't say no!(shame) but I'm greedy,..umm tell myself they are gonna by drugs with that 50 cents, in my pocket next to the $ 80 bucks I'm blowing on stuff I don't need today.. ( Phew..The empathy deficiency of another shopper's bigotry gets denied~.) don't look walk away..)*score* 1 for ol'greed,profit and class-ism and a 0 for empathy and human rights.)Again..sigh.

This shit is Just like lab vivisectionists that deliberately cut the vocal chords of the lab dogs they torture for "science".They can't let the torturer hear the dog cry and whimper from pain they might quit from SHAME and empathy for the poor dog..Oh no..The piggies Can't let empathy for another human being's unnessesary suffering impede profits,so ,mooove along little shoppers look away..Oooh no Don't dare share anything or give help to those other people.. homeless people that the well off get offended by existing and claim are lazy,crazy,or choosing to sleep on a metal bench designed to be as uncomfortable as possible..when the well off look away blithely spending 5 bucks on a cup of coffee without even thinking about it..

42 million Americans would not be able to eat if the U.S. government did not give them handouts.

The safety net is getting awfully crowded.

If you really want to see some soul-crushing desperation, go check out the flood tunnels under the city of Las Vegas. But do not do this alone - it is very dangerous down there. Today, there are hordes of "tunnel people" who call those dark tunnels home. Nobody knows for sure how many people are down there (some people say that it is well into the thousands), but everyone agrees that the number is rapidly growing.

But in many major U.S. cities there are no flood tunnels to go to. Instead, in many areas of the United States huge tent cities have sprouted. The following is a video news report from the BBC about the tent cities that are popping up all over America....
"The idea of someone living in a tent (or other encampment) in this country says little about the decisions made by those who dwell within and so much more about our nation's inability to adequately respond to those in need."
