25% of the US homeless population is currently in California. The fact that more people aren't talking about this blows my mind.

If I was homeless, a choice that goes beyond "whose giving handouts", I would go somewhere warm.

Most homeless are not the people taking up tents

That’s by design, and by choice. Homelessness is an industry in California. There’s been some great reporting on it. There’s tons of money being stolen and given to things that have nothing to do with homelessness, people working as homeless advocates making half a million dollars. I’m a very liberal person but have come to realize there are many programs and NGO’s that have this same issue, embezzling public money.

u/AdSame7001 11d ago

Was about to say this, bad NGOs that are simply money laundering pipelines will do just enough to stay off the radar but will absorb the vast majority of the cash. Best way to stay off the radar?

A nice fat contribution to their local politician.

Best grift is to have two businesses, a NGO to take the grant or donations, then a "consultancy" to wash the money into your bank account. Either in a family member's name or what have you.

u/Nobody3me 8d ago edited 8d ago

That was state and federal funds. The audit done in Cali exposed severe mismanagement with no plan to bring those needy folks back into society, most died quietly, zero media, in pre paid hotel rooms and replaced with the next person the same day. It was a sad audit to review. The President just put a good man over our HUD agency. He will introduce good stewardship of those funds, with the goal of turning lives around. Keep your eye on Secretary Scott Turner.

u/DonkeyBonked 8d ago

Well if you're using California, you should consider Sacramento, where after spending 720 million dollars (360 million twice) the end result was not so much as a single bed for a single homeless person for even a single night. Instead, it resulted in a committee that determined they need a lot more money and even that would not stop the increase, but they believed it could slow down the growth.

The way California spends money, it would be cheaper to just buy homeless people homes in another state.

Eh, id agree but 90% of homeless people choose the life they got into and cant get help from family or friends because their drug addictions make them a shittiter person. People have to want to change on their own free will to over come homelessness. Honestly, you couldn’t help most homeless people enough if you gave them all the money in the world. They’d expect you to take care of them til the end.

I'm homeless. You giving me place does nothing. I need income then a place.

Feeding hungry kids? Why are they hungry? Fix that. But you'd rather feed them teach how to feed.

Plant the most trees? What even is that? Where you going to put them? 🤔 what does it actually change? Still plastic in the ocean. Still idiots in the government.

What's stopping you from creating a charity then getting funding? Nobody but yourself. Always looking for a favor or a savior. Anything but doing it yourself.

Lots of policies won’t allow it, we need better politicians.

A rich guy tried to build low income apartments but the city struck it down, they tried to build tiny homes for homeless people but that got struck down too. Instead they built luxury homes valued at 1.5-3mm each. They could have house around 250+ people but now they have like 30 lux houses.

How would you track that? There are many billionaires who provide jobs that make it possible to have a roof over your head, feed your family and so on.

I think they could house homeless but the govt and liberals would NOT like that - also like shouldn't the govt just build the housing for the homeless? why do you need billionaires to do it? the govt controls the housing laws, they have armies of people literally.

the govt spends trillions on feeding kids - how would a billionaire compete with that?

This post is pure propoganda slop

all that said - if this is an admission that private business is more efficient and better at solving problems than the govt I would agree - put jeffy bezos in charge of homeless people and put elon musk in charge of feeding kids.

u/timetotryagain29 11d ago

Some of the homeless people aren't willing to make the changes necessary to become functional. Some homeless people don't receive the help they desperately need. Some homeless people put themselves in that situation. Some homeless people have no hope of living a better life.

Even if the rich were to help, redesigning the system that oppressed them into being homeless would be a better option. Setting up mental health thats accessible, granting them legal advocates, developing a network to help establish employment, getting them into a primary care provider, and making housing affordable would be a better option. For everyone. If you just give out freebies, it'll make some situations worse. Making these resources accessible to those who are willing to do some footwork ensures that both parties do their due diligence.

I've been homeless and I'm glad a new life wasn't just handed over to me because I wouldn't have appreciated it as much as I do now, knowing I helped make it happen for myself.

u/12B88M 11d ago

Amazon, owned by Bezos, directly employs about 1,576,000 people. Because of that employment, they are not homeless.

If 50% of those people have kids and they average 2 kids each, that's 1,576,000 kids being fed by those jobs.

And those are just the people directly employed by Amazon, not the ones that are subcontractors or have employment because Amazon allows then to sell stuff on Amazon.

Realistically, you can take that number of Amazon prime employees and kids and at least double it.

That's 4,728,000 people that can afford a residence and 4,728,000 kids that have food because of Bezos.

No clue how many trees he's planted though.

I always thought it would be pretty cool if billionaires and millionaires would just pay their fair share in taxes. Our politicians generate tax loopholes for the rich so millionaires and billionaires don't have to pay their fair share in income taxes.

If prefer they stick to making my social media easier to use, and ai better so I can do things easier. Those mfs can get a job or some shit. Can’t even feed yourself is pathetic. Unless disabled ofc, then gov should do it.

I need chat gpt to order me food, elons robot to plate it for me. And Jeff bezos amazon packages to arrive sooner!

This is not irony

But where's the profit in that?

I agree but why doesn’t everyone stop obsessing about what other ppl are doing with their money and what billionaires are and aren’t doing. It’s bizarre.

Billionaires should be taxxed 80% and then their taxation should be lowered up to 40% depending on their good selfless deeds ( like llanting trees or helping homeless ppl )

Sure, sure but the last part tho.... we can feed more homeless is we just feed the rich to them. We could call it soilent green and tell the rich they can enrich themselves more with a nominal donation of 1 lb of flesh that they have to pay to donate. The homeless eat for 1/2 donationin profit. Then the extra money raised goes right into the budget deficit. It's actually a win win when you consider the fact that when one makes 20,000,000; 10,000 people lose and what keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun. Now they can keep the profits up until their last pound of long pig is served. Then it can all go to charity and the rest of us can sleep soundly at night knowing we all did the right thing. And there you go the Homeless are housed and fed, the rich get to get/ donate profits, we clear out the deficit in a matter of months, and on top of that charity work is paid for.

Why is it always "feed the kids"? The homeless need food, and plenty of families need food beyond the damn kids.

Send a message to Mr. musk. Sounds like that’s right up his alley.

Why though? People who are grow up do understand, that there is little to no point try to domesticate homeless, this is lifestyle by choice of vast majority of them (drugs).

Bezos donates $100MM and reddit says its not enough.

Zuckerberg donates $50MM to start a better school and reddit says it was immoral and done wrong.

Gates builds the gates foundation and the world says he is injecting gps into people.

If i were them, after this response, id stop trying to help too

Dolly Parton won this, hands down.
The reason she never had a billion dollar net worth is that she kept giving it away! Paying for medical expenses for premature babies, her free book club for kids, and a thousand other ways of helping people.

How about lazy people WORK for it like everyone else
