True. But depending where you live and work, cars are very essential to some. Public transportation isn't reliable or practical for a lot of people who drive 20 miles to work. Not to mention when gas goes up, everything goes up. So skyrocketing gas prices will make groceries, that get delivered by trucks using gas, more expensive. And if you're already struggling then you can't afford it. Not to mention all the moms who drop kids off at childcare and have to rush back so they don't get charged a late pickup fee. They couldn't do that without a car, and most working moms that I know of are in that situation.HughFreakingDillon said:

People can't afford gas, food, a mortgage but hey if we ever need insulin you got our backs.
I think as long as we have a secure border, secure banking and no threat of WW3 we should be good.
Four more years of this almost sounds too good to be true!
also, a president does not control any of the other things. i'm sure you know this already, so keep up the clown posts.
housing is a human right. but a house don't matter if you can't afford the medicine that saves your life.
And I could also argue that medicine doesn't matter if you're living on the street in a snow storm and freeze to death after you get free medicine.
I'm just saying I disagree that housing and gas are not essential to most people and are real concerns for many people.
I was just commenting that laughing off affordable housing and and gas as essentials is not accurate, because both are essential to most Americans.
I'm not sure how that is relevant to the topic though. Not every person with diabetes pays a lot for insulin. Some will no doubt have good insurance that covers most of the cost. So a straight up numbers comparison of homeless vs diabetic isn't going to tell us much.
So I'm not sure why you're trying to argue housing nad gas aren't essential. Meds, housing and gas can all be essential, it is not an either or.
Bring up the high cost of gas with the oil industry, housing with institutional investors and wealth funds and inflation with Putin on the ritz and Xi. All of which have started to move down if you’re paying attention.
I’ll ask you again, what solutions does the political party you most closely align with offer as solutions to your pressing concerns of high gas, food, housing prices and inflation?
Someone said housing and gas are not essential. I disagreed, and said they are essential too. That was it.
Thats been your response every time. What does that have to do with it being essential or not? I never claimed they were going to solve anything. Just that they are essential.0 -

California is home (no pun intended) to 30% of the nation's homeless. It had the highest growth of homeless. I'd be interested in seeing a plan from Newson that actually works.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

Let me know when 37 million Muricans are homeless. Or can’t drive because of gas prices. Or can’t afford food and die. See the differences between “essential” yet?mace1229 said:Halifax2TheMax said:

I'm assuming it means providing support to churches that shelter homeless. I believe some shelters do not get government support if they are affiliated with a church or other religious organization.Halifax2TheMax said:

You asked for an example what republixcans are doing. I gave several in 1 resource. You didn't specify how many examples you wanted. How many do you need?

The reason California is home to the homeless is because they don't kick them out. Texas solved homelessness by evicting them. They didn't solve a problem, they moved it. It's a national issue that has no state level reasons.mace1229 said:A quick google search provided this,

they can both be essential without having the same level of importance, which, I believe, you already acknowledged/agreed with gimme on, so not sure why Halifax keeps poking at this.mace1229 said:

People can't afford gas, food, a mortgage but hey if we ever need insulin you got our backs.
I think as long as we have a secure border, secure banking and no threat of WW3 we should be good.
Four more years of this almost sounds too good to be true!
also, a president does not control any of the other things. i'm sure you know this already, so keep up the clown posts.
housing is a human right. but a house don't matter if you can't afford the medicine that saves your life.
And I could also argue that medicine doesn't matter if you're living on the street in a snow storm and freeze to death after you get free medicine.
I'm just saying I disagree that housing and gas are not essential to most people and are real concerns for many people.
I was just commenting that laughing off affordable housing and and gas as essentials is not accurate, because both are essential to most Americans.
I'm not sure how that is relevant to the topic though. Not every person with diabetes pays a lot for insulin. Some will no doubt have good insurance that covers most of the cost. So a straight up numbers comparison of homeless vs diabetic isn't going to tell us much.
So I'm not sure why you're trying to argue housing nad gas aren't essential. Meds, housing and gas can all be essential, it is not an either or.
Bring up the high cost of gas with the oil industry, housing with institutional investors and wealth funds and inflation with Putin on the ritz and Xi. All of which have started to move down if you’re paying attention.
I’ll ask you again, what solutions does the political party you most closely align with offer as solutions to your pressing concerns of high gas, food, housing prices and inflation?
Someone said housing and gas are not essential. I disagreed, and said they are essential too. That was it.
Thats been your response every time. What does that have to do with it being essential or not? I never claimed they were going to solve anything. Just that they are essential.
But if you want to play that game, let me know when 37 million are going without insulin? Because its not even close to that, Most diabetics don't even need insulin, so your 37 million is out of nowhere. According to your post, 37 million have to starve and die for food to be essential. your analogy doesn't make sense. See the difference?
been here before, unfortunately.0 -
Mace brought up housing, food, gas as essential as if in his typical “gee why doesn’t someone do something about those things” in the context of Brandon reducing insulin costs by two thirds through a major piece of legislation, legislation not supported by many repubs, by the way, that impacted Medicare and thus trickled down to all Americans dependent on insulin to survive, in a lame attempt to be critical of Brandon and dem policies. It, IMHO, was a dumb attempt at a knock on a policy that clearly has a positive outcome for millions of Americans. Couldn’t he have celebrated that accomplishment?
So let me ask, would you right leaning folks on here be agreeable to dems or repubs introducing legislation that reduces the cost of “essentials” like food, housing and gas or inflation by two thirds for a portion of Americans, and by extension, many more?
Mace also chose California as his example so I’ll tell you what Tennessee did to solve their homelessness. They made it illegal to “camp” in public rights of way like under overpasses, medians, wooded areas, parks, etc. I suppose three hots and a cot is housing.

this is the same way they are "fixing" the border problem.mrussel1 said:
The reason California is home to the homeless is because they don't kick them out. Texas solved homelessness by evicting them. They didn't solve a problem, they moved it. It's a national issue that has no state level reasons.mace1229 said:A quick google search provided this,

Proposals include addiction intervention and construction of shelters.
California is home (no pun intended) to 30% of the nation's homeless. It had the highest growth of homeless. I'd be interested in seeing a plan from Newson that actually works."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Yes, but to an extent. A few weeks ago Fox had an article about some California R mayor that solved homelessness in his city. But all he did was kick them out.RunIntoTheRain said:Wait. Texas solved it homelessness problem? I work in Dallas. Tons of homeless here. Did some politician say Texas solved the problem?I'm betting you're being sarcastic Matt?
Zero tolerance is the only solution for issues driven by mental illness and addiction, right?

I haven't dug in depth in a while, definitely a worthwhile venture. Recently I had heard concerns that there may have been some skimming of funds with the latest expansion, but I would have to dig deeper to see if there is any substance to the allegation. Sadly as good of a program as it is, it is just a dent in the city's problem.Halifax2TheMax said:
