Hope in one hand, shit in the other…….
People simply do not fully appreciate how this country made it through the first Great Depression. It was because at the street level, there was little to no government STANDING IN THE WAY. No enforced minimum wage, no enforced labor laws, no enforced income tax, or any withholding taxes, no rules against helping out your fellow man, etc.
Today, according to the book “Three Felonies a Day – How the government targets the innocent,” everyone commits at least three felonies a day without knowledge of even committing them.
The coming Greater Depression will only be survivable if everyone simply ignores government…and hopefully learns from their success without government.
I live in Portland, and I applaud this cease and desist order. This “soup kitchen” is a magnet for the degenerate, thieving, drug taking, trash creating hordes that libs like to label as “unhomed.” Remove the crutches and the freebies and , like rats, they’ll go elsewhere. These people ain’t the dustbowl era poor, and this ain’t 1930.
I hear you BUT this was posted in Davenport Iowa. IOWA. IOWA You know, that state that’s been half underwater because of the floods? Where in the last six weeks a bunch of people are homeless now, all of a sudden, because they lost EVERYTHING and there may be NO hope of recovery for some of them?

And here’s another FLOOD WARNING for DAVENPORT IOWA, posted TODAY:
https://www.google.org/publicalerts/alert?aid=b7c262958da1dd34&hl=en&gl=US&source=web
For those people, this IS the dustbowl era, only due to water, so fuck you very much.
You “hear me”, but “fuck me very much”?
I hear you = I understand Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, LA, etc., are shitholes, and that the homeless population is outta control. But in the whole state of Iowa, as of Jan 2017, there were less than 2,800 homeless.

And granted, I did misread the date – this notice was for April 2017, and regards zoning laws.

And it finally closed in May 2018 for other reasons, not related to the battle with the city.

So, yeah, they have not been open to help the flood victims, anyway, so my premise was wrong. That is, I DID overreact just a lot, and I’m sorry I came out swinging.
That one is not funny. Would that happen to Muslims?
Road trip for all the indigent! Put them on a bus – drive to San Fransicko. Drop them off at Nancy Pelosi’s place for three squares and a cot if not upgraded to the St. Regis or Fairmont hotels.
America will not make it through the next great depression and come out as America. There will be a hurricane of crime and violence hit this country especially in the big urban areas. Also in the early 30s America was a mostly white , Christian nation at least on the face of it. Not any more. These days it hard to trust people even your own neighbors .
UNfortunately I think your assessment is correct, although in a small town neighbors can generally still be trusted.
My grandparents were products of the depression, they were farmers and that’s how they survived. Nothing, and I mean nothing was tossed until it was beyond useful They raised all their food except for sugar, salt, coffee and flour.The flour sacks were cotton and that fabric went into everything from dresses and undies to quilts and dish cloths. Hogs provided food and lard for soap, etc.
I agree that todays folk would starve slap to death under the conditions prevalent during the Depression.
