My son - who served eight tours in almost every M.E. country after 9/11, who was crushed under a C130 then denied surgery for his injuries so now at age 42 he can barely walk, who slept on the glowing ground of K2, and who witnessed unspeakable horrors - was living in a tent near the river until recently.
Fuck this fucking country.
Jesus Christ, that’ll get the blood flowing.
I really do hope you guys get the help you need.

How’s the eighth grade going?
Also a good time to remember that 7% of homes in the USA are vacant right now.
How many people could we house if we tried a little harder?
“But muh investment!”
I’ve always wondered about the state of those vacant homes.
But yeah - a roof is a roof
Meanwhile the 5 richest men doubled their wealth in 2024
Not just double- many of the top wealth layer saw several MULTIPLES of their wealth in the last year. Capital builds on itself and the US Government has done absolutely nothing to rein in the funnel of funds flowing from the middle class directly into the Owner-Class.
Corporations and the ultra wealthy should be paying ALL the income tax required to fund this country; instead they’re paying lobbyists to limit any tax burden at all.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
That’s how we got democracy, the King was afraid to literally lose his head.
And the 6 brand new, wildly expensive apartments across the street from me have been vacant for months.
Trump will fix this! By throwing all house builders out of the country. Now is the time to buy stock of tent companies.
18%. 18 fucing %. For the love of god that’s 1/5 of your bloody nation, wtf?Edit: Nvm, tired and can’t read for shit.
It went up BY 18%, not up TO 18%. This says nothing about how bad it is, only that it’s getting worse.
It went up TO 0.23%.
Yeah, I…yeah, thanks. Way to go for me, eh? xD
XD
Oh just give it say I dunno 4 years or so we’ll be there soon enough and you can unedit the post…
That’s what I thought! Like what?! Isn’t that like 60m people? Unless homelessness is up by 18% from the original percentage. Either way it’s definitely millions of people… Just maybe not 60m… ??
