1. "Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressmans name correctly (its Cummings, not Cumming)we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes,

(28,787 posts)not my favorite city by a long shot. But time and again my Uber/ cab drivers would love it. The people I worked with there were happy living there.
I saw a lot of poverty and was hit on for money or cigs more times than i can count. One time walking to Starbucks early in the morning I counted no less than 7 people sleeping on the street within 2 blocks. At the time I stayed at the Hilton next to the Orioles stadium. One day on the street there was a man trying to sell tickets to the game "for food." I don't know where they went, but when the O's were in town these numbers would shrink precipitously.
In Philadelphia, one of my favorite cities, it wasn't any better. I sat in the mini-park next to the Marriott and watched paramedics bring a man back to life. Another street person told me the man was so drunk he just fell down and died, and it wasn't the first death in that location that week.
In LA, my home (but where i don't live anymore) and most favorite place of all, while getting onto the freeway one morning I saw a guy getting up and stretching. He'd slept in the "green" section between the onramp and the freeway. which has not been maintained and probably due to the prolonged drought, is just a field of dirt at this point.
As a country we are failing poor and sick people all over. For them it might as will be the next Great Depression already. yet they are invisible to so many people, like my sister who lives in a bubble and is pretty much never exposed to poverty. it's been a kick in the guts for her to learn that in our family there is drug addiction and we're all not living as comfortably as she does.
I hope we can pull out of this slide and get democrats elected everywhere, roll back the tax scam and start paying attention to these issues in a meaningful way. it's heartbreaking.
