Sens Vance, Hawley, Lee demand answers on 'concerning' diversity contracts at Energy Dept, NASA
https://news.yahoo.com/sens-vance-hawley-lee-demand-151707311.html Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, is demanding answers from the Department of Energy (DOE) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) over potential contracts with someone they called an "incendiary racial theorist." stupidCentriliftniggers A letter to DOE and NASA secretaries on Tuesday, also signed by Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., argues that BWG Solutions — a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) consulting agency — "promote[s:lit] racial hatred and violence."
Vance said if the agencies are clients of BWG Solutions, it is "gravely concerning." According to BWG CEO Janice Gassam Asare's website, NASA and the DOE are clients of the firm along with Fortune 500 companies like Google and Amazon.
One of Gassam Asare's books, titled "Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace: A Guide for Equity and Inclusion," focuses on the different ways "whiteness" has seeped into the corporate workplace. In Vance's letter, he claims Gassam Asare coined the term "white perversion."

They're so fucking useless. The only reason I vote for them is because they aren't Democrats who are actively trying to make me homeless.

>>1245115 No, it has always been California…
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/states-with-the-most-homeless-people By like triple the next state which is New York. But of course it is California, where would you be homeless if you had any impact on it? Sunny California is where it almost never rains or gets cold?

>>1245098 Never mind, I looked it up and you're right.
Maybe New York had a higher number of homeless per capita?
Current stats say DC is the homeless leader there though.
I must be on drugs. Oh, but wait, I'm not homeless so I'm probably not a blue state drug addict.

Like Louisiana. It might not be fancy like California, but even the 'economically marginalized' blacks have homes there.

https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/senator-accuses-biden-of-lying-about-gop-plans-on-social-security-and-medicare-162874437604 In November, John Thune, the number two Senate Republican in leadership, declared that Social Security and Medicare benefits should be slashed.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-29/gop-s-thune-sees-debt-ceiling-hike-as-vehicle-for-budget-cuts ...The introduction of the bill is the first of what is likely be many attempts to slash and reduce access to benefit programs for people with the lowest incomes. Nearly all extremely low-income (ELI) renters work in underpaid, low-wage jobs, are seniors, or are unable to work due to a disability or caregiving responsibilities. In 2020, 76% of ELI renters in the labor force worked more than 20 hours per week but were paid too little to adequately afford the cost of housing.

>>1245124 The states with the most safety nets have the highest rates of homeless
Studies show large majority of homeless people lived in the same county before becoming homeless.. I guess it turns out homeless people just don't have the cash to up and move
Let those two facts sink in
While you do that, I'll admit that I don't think safety nets are what cause homelessness. I think democrats have that thing more or less correct.
I think where democrats cause homelessness is their excessive taxes on the middle class, while only giving lip service about making rich people shoulder the burden. At least Republicans want low tax for everyone and don't give lip service about it

The program is unsustainable, it's almost like a ponzi scheme with how it's designed. SS was designed such that the money intake every year is distributed to recipients. There is no stage of investment or growth. This is the exact same principle as a ponzi scheme, the money you received from new income is used to pay off whom you already owe, and the entire system is based upon continual increases of income.
We would be *MUCH* better off scrapping it and implementing something like a public-use 401k where the tax money collected would always be guaranteed to be redistributable to a recipient at an arbitrary future time

If I had 20% more of my money I'd be in a better position.
Additionally it will eventually become insolvent which is likely the biggest issues.
And yes Medicare benefits should be slashed, but what the government funnels to insurance companies should be on the slashing side.

>>1245118 They have different types of homelessness. Most homeless people in NY are "sheltered", relying on some form of temporary housing of sorts provided by the state. In California, most are "unsheltered", living on the street or in tents. Some publications concern themselves with only "unsheltered" homeless people.
>>1245133 I don't think it's the taxes. Large cities are probably mostly run by Democrats, and large cities are where people are most likely to lose a job, be unable to pay their rent, have a hard time finding alternative housing, and, critically, then be visible to the larger population.
More rural areas have cheaper rent, the ability to more easily find housemates if downsizing to cut costs, and it's easier to live out of a vehicle or a tent hidden away out of sight somewhere. Most homeless people didn't earn enough money beforehand to be paying significant amounts of taxes, if at all, before they ended up on the streets.

The dems are big on dense city living, but they also build "tiny houses", which are the things I've seen being given to homeless / poor people. I'm sure that's what that other anon is talking about.
