Homeless in Hawaii HD
Homeless in Hawaii...the ongoing problem in Paradise...Like any other city, there are homeless...but here in Paradise they are out in the open year around and have taken up camp in many of the beach parks. It's not only a problem in Hawaii but a problem across the United States that is getting worse! The goverment continues to cover it up and push these people aside as the standard of living continues to go down, in what use to be, the greatest Country in the world...no more.

What I wonder is?
Is an economic disaster ( Emergency ) not as bad as say a Hurricane (natural disaster - Emergency )?
I mean people in the Gulf area who lost homes got FEMA help and housing until they could get into other permanent housing.
I mean can't they reuse those trailers that were sent to the gulf region?
They aren't a one time use and dispose item, are they?
The thing about a hurricane is that it is indiscriminate. Hurricanes don't care how much money you make. Those that have enough money or have enough money and some place to go leave. Those that can't don't. But, you cannot make journalists shut up or pretend this type of devastation didn't happen.
The trailers used in Katrina are, in fact, unusable. From 2008: FEMA received 11,000 health complaints and moved more than 4,000 families. About 19,000 Katrina units remain occupied, down from about 143,000.
usable?
even in the now emergency, one should still build for the future
I agree with that.

I’ll tell you Matt, I don’t know how I feel about this video. The young man seems to be a caring person, the film is reveling, but he seems most upset that the city doesn’t do more to make them invisible. Take away the carts, the only thing in the world these people have, make them take down the tents when you mow. He seems a genuinely caring person, and it is possible that the right has been so effective at planting the anti-poor message that he is unaware. But no doubt the film is disappointing on many levels.
it is pleasant to listen to
I have always like Lydiard Skinner
of course hawaii has people living outside. cost of housing is too high, but the welfare state of hawaii attracts many free loaders. conclusion, don't go to live in a high cost state.
I'd think if a man can drive at night, there could be many worse places to be homeless than Hawaii.
like where it snows
I've always believed that people who choose to live in an area anything resembling several months of frozen hell, very well should.
And that they are dumbfoundingly stupid.
humans are the champions of long distance migration on ground
It's a long walk to Hawaii!
lol
I better get going
There are no homeless in a Democratic administration. The depth and horror of the Obamavilles growing across the country simply won't be reported on until a Republican is president. Homelessness is a Republican problem, not Democratic one.
If you mean republicans largely created the problem, I could go along with that. But I don't know as I would trust them to clean-up the mess they made.
he was being sarcastic. you fell for it. your partisanship is showing.
in the US, the unemployed don't count
no one wants to house the unemployed
only give them jobs
Yeah. Now if we could get them to offer jobs in the 1st place that actually paid a living wage. But no that would be just asking too much.
Who is "them" in your question?
jobs will leave the country
Oh . . . yeah right.............hmmmmmmmmm.
I know they could be put to work building bridges for minimum wage.
SEE...........problem solved and the wealthy corrupt could sleep peacefully at night knowing they helped solve the homeless and unemployed problems in one fell stroke.
That's right, but they don't want to. It keeps working people scared, and afraid to organize.
better than the san diego emergency welfare program
they'll put the broke to work for much less than minimum wage
Getting in practice for putting the prison for profit captive populations to work. Start now build up a few calluses and it won't feel so bad when you go large scale slave labor. Just give everyone a chance to get used to the idea.
everyone has a right to a job
Meaning?
it's a paradigm of the right to make a contribution to society
I'm sorry. Still not following you.

as I thought
the repression of the broke by paying them less than minimum wage
would prepare the broke for prison labor latter
it also set an example that it is OK to pay less the minimum wage
and should be illegal
..
anyway on "the right to have a job"
that the only way to solve the economic problems is for everyone to be put to work
The navy could transport them
but homeless is bad in a lot of places
The Homeless Of Phoenix Arizona
The Homeless of Phoenix, Arizona. The economic Collapse has hit hard in America and more n more people are going homeless every day. The economy is just going to get worse, It can happen to you just as easy as it has happened to the people of Phoenix featured in this video.

Paradise for some truly can be Hell for others. Everyone count your blessings.
