In the United States, and in California, there is increasing alarm over the number of over-fifties who find themselves living on the streets.
They make up most of the more than half a million people there who are homeless.
Many have been forced from their homes because they are unable to pay large increases in their rent.

#US #Homeless
I verily verily agree.
I thank you, but not just me.
I say some things and most digress,
It is they who fail the test.
The Gospels are being preached,
In these words we must teach.
Those who fail to hear His calling,
Will cry for God when the hail starts falling.
The end of the age of gentiles is upon us all,
Over Israel the star did fall.
Not the one that Herod did fear,
But the two in the east and that time is here.
This is mystery Babylon.
What is it?
The world connection to media and internet. What is mystery Babylon?
You Meta get ready..
Those who do not bare the mark of God in their Hearts and minds already bare the marks of Satan.
Time is near.
Israel exists as prophesied,
Yet only a remnant will be spared.
God bless you. Many have knowledge, but few have wisdom.
You are blessed.
When one “Finds” God in their own heart through faith, JOY is replaced by pure spiritual bliss the second God sends his Holy Spirit to you through HIS grace, by YOUR Faith! The Holy Ghost comes from above Litterally and falls down upon and around the individual who is counted as righteous in Gods eyes and feels like a sheet of energy and pure love. Every hair stands up, you feel electrified and more than content. You feel the Holy spirit and you hear the holy spirit! Others “see” the Holy Ghost IN the true believer who all of a sudden becomes a TRUE KNOWER of God! That is How it happens. That is How It happened to me, and I never looked back. God is here. He truly is omnipresent. He saved me, he saved my life, and I showed others the power of God almighty who’s Holy Spirit is very active in these days……For reasons that are biblical in scale and proportions. These days ARE those days prophesied millennia ago….If you have no idea of what I speak in any of it, you need to pray. Pray until you get Gods answer…His Holy Ghost.
Live free?
Not for me.
I shouldn’t have to say it twice.
The purpose of my own existence is to die a slave to Christ.
I am a slave of the Lord.
The world can have its freedom.
Its deception.
Faith in God is faith in Jesus and conviction comes by His Holy Holy Holy Ghost who is a spirit who measures the heart.
Faith reveals God. Salvation is by faith. Faith receives grace, grace is the increase, who is “the helper” who God sends as the comforter who is made manifest to those who “walk in the spirit” who reject this fallen world and its deceiver who the few sees because with the rebirth comes gifts of the spirit and the discernment that is given by God reveals the commandments inscribed in the heart by Gods doing, by His grace, not religions, not a church building, but within the spiritual body of Christ given even to the gentiles and the heathen to provoke to Jealousy even God for His people Jacob who is Israel His people who are grafted into the tree.
Who is the Lord? Do you know the Lord? If you know the Lord, you have seen God. If you see God, you “know” God in and by and with His spirit.
That is not a choice you or I can make but is an act of God Himself.
No “works” impresses God. You can not “earn” your way to heaven.
You do not impress God.
You dont even recognize the law, which no man ever found salvation by.
Salvation comes by faith at Gods choosing. Real faith is of the heart.
If God measures the heart, would you be found lacking?
When’s the last time you gave to the homeless?
When’s the last time you helped someone change a tire in the street?
Lead by example from the heart with faith in God and be rewarded in ways the eyes can not see or the ears hear and is more valuable than gold or silver because it is eternal whereas all you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is temporary and as long as you have your mind on those things your heart will follow that is why you should hang onto every word of God through the Holy name of Jesus who is Lord because He is messiah and through Him can you be saved.
This faith of yours has had thousands if years to make a difference but still ends up about on the level of the salvation army (another super profitable charity/racket).
@Operator 9 Actually, that is wrong.
You would not believe what God reveals.
But only to those He Himself chooses to reveal His self to.
Faith in God is rewarded in ways far beyond how you could be able to understand or see. When it happens, there is only 1 genius behind it and it and He is not for the world to see. Only to those who choose of their own free will to actually see. That requires more than what the average person even strives to put effort to. Part of the reason is pride.
The deadliest sin.
@Roy Hemion how convienient.
The citizens of Berlin voted to use eminent domain to take over corporate rental houses and rent them out at a fair market value to help the poor. The USA might have to do that if this persists. Funny how the media doesn’t talk about how Germany is starting to lean more left. It is almost like they don’t want us to know.
This makes me sick. Its hard to believe that the richest country in the world is treating their senior citizens like this but it’s the truth because of corruption and greed. This is how capitalism works. It’s not sustainable
This is what will actually bring change to this country. Not some beurocrat peddling easy answers but mobs of people who have had enough.
Vulture capitalism at its finest.
Someone is getting rich.
Everything is kosher in America: homeless must increase in numbers and eventually depart to the best of the worlds – isn’t that what the rich plutocrats want: to shrink the world’s population? Hail fakemocracy, hail capitalism… or… perhaps… Workers of the world, unite!
USA heck america is finished
I’m glad they’re homeless.
No different to India. Similar to many third world countries.
This sounded like CNN. Not a compliment.
American nation go to poor condition Chinese nation goes to rich day by day due to better economic system which not have in America due to federal reserve Bank 🏦 the gold reserve spend on people’s welfare not for hiding as treasure and second thing all mortgage system close America down economy due to interests collected on behalf mortgage cars homes insurance policies Bala bala.
If I was homeless I would kill myself for the fact that there is nothing left for me and living like these helpless people is sad and depressing because there is no other option to live happily. After all, it is the end of the road.
They should learn from China, there is nothing like this at all Government should provide subsidised accomodation for those citizens who cannot afford rental
What do you expect when US is leaning towards capitalism???
America Dream For you
I feel sorry for homeless USA poor people, now I knew why USA wants to destroy countries with oil and gas,they want to steal and make more money to take care of the growing poor people 😕,karma hits home
NOT HAPPENING IN CHINA
The Democratic Party is to blame for making these people homeless. They make housing unaffordable and a killing with business deals with greedy real estate investors. Vote Republican. Throw all Democratic Politicians and their voters into prison. Make America Great and Liveable Again!
Drug addiction is more a serious issue compared to homeless
This is so true! My rent got increased thrice and also I live in the stupid nyc region ; omg they charged a bomb and gave a shoe box to live
What a shame older Americans homeless living in the streets while illegal immigrants get free housing and it will only get worse thanks to Joe Biden and his politicians
Nancy and Democrats should try sleeping in the streets so that they can know what it feels like but I’m sure they don’t care at all about us Americans
Say no to drugs and I guarantee homeless will be cut in half..were we will be able to help pep with real needs
those dastardly Putin and Xie!!
Good news
A 3 bed rooms house in San Jose, ca is 1 millions or more
Fun fact, there are more unoccupied homes than homeless people.
Strong Educated and Independent.
If the funding reach its people.😕
The shameless American politicians would say China is making this happen…just totally nonsense….in the meanwhile the American government is more interested in discussing human rights with allies.
why young people leave their parents on street like this ??????
Why parents leave their children in adoption and foster homes???????
“The Americans decorate a facade in order to deceive some and frighten others. But In the same way, that the Titanic’s glory and splendor could not save it from sinking, America’s glory and splendor will not stop it from sinking. And, the U.S. will sink”
Seyyed Ali Khamenei, February 18, 2020
At times i donot understand the riches of developed world and the poor of developing countries after seeing homelessness like this.
The US is a joke
It’s a country we like killing each other alive
America socialists policy should nationalize the houses and distribute to homeless
capitalism means 1% richer and many people poorer. make the house public will solve all homeless
So now RUSSIA & US PREOCEED FORWARD TOWARDS PEACE AFTER THE ECONOMIC PROPOSAL TO INSTATE EQUATORIAL COUNTRIES TO LAUNCH INTO SPACE FOR HUMANITARIAN REASON ONLY ? BANNING ALL ORDINANCES FOR SPACE ? who would have thought when the MAN APED OF NATURE HAS ROCKETS ON ITS SIDE
US spent trillions in lost wars but lose battle in homelessness. What a shame – human rights champion US!
Somehow there is always money for more guns and the military. people are NOT as great as they believe they are.
Politicians they dont care only when their term is up
The solution is called Auschwitz Birkenau, you are welcome dummies
I became homeless in 2021 again the 1st time in almost 20 years
IM sure if the goverment cant do anything the many millionares and billionares can.Perhaps the rich should distribute there wealth evenly and maybe homelessness will be abolished as well as poverty
یہ انسان سرمایہ داروں کے نزدیک انسان نہیں کیونکہ انہیں کے ہاتھوں میں 97% دولت ہے۔یہ بچارے تو دن رات محنت کرتے ہیں ان کی دولت بڑہانے کے لئے۔
high taxes and highly leftist
oops it doesnt work
homeless means freedom !!!
UNITED STATES HAS BEEN DOING SUCH FAVOR TO MANY NATIONS
So instead of lecturing Africa or interference any country US need to fix in this spicily democratic we are tired to see this sad US is great country all people we need to fix together always US first.
America is a 🤮 country
Hundreds of homeless documentaries and still no one doing anything to slow it down.
This is already happening in Texas and it is literally happening to college educated people with professional careers who cannot afford the rent prices because of inflation, and salaries not going up. Rent went up 20% + here in Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. This is deplorable. America, you should be ashamed of yourself.
If wages increased at the same rate as rent prices this problem would be much smaller. It’s amazing how rent prices rise so easily each year but employers act like it’s so difficult to pay a liveable wage. Society needs to ask itself “Am I my brother’s keeper?” We the people are going to have to look out for one another and not depend on government and corporate America.
And here we are, the government spends $800 billion on the military..wtf?
Capitalism
It’s simple: Build a subsidise (x) floor flat.
But i guess the zoning and something something bootstrap wouldn’t make this happen.
Mrs Anna is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Oh sure±①③①②③①⑨⑤⑧④⑤
She’s the plug 🔌 👆
Thanks for the recommendation guys really need to get her info
Anyone who she handles he’s or her trade for I believe is so lucky
Yes but do you know I have been paid out today😊
To experience this life is to know what true loneliness is.
You’re not ‘forced out’ of your apartment if you didn’t pay your rent.
😆😆🤣🤣🤣
what a beautiful sight to behold😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
How millions of Indians cleverly occupying USA 🇺🇸 ???
All of this is due to Democrats inflation.
Hundreds of billions spent to kill or prepare to kill the people of other countries in order to indulge in the euphoria of standing in the moral high ground.
The dark side of America they don’t want you to see
And Amazon Jeff and Elon got A LOT richer during the pandemic while poorer families have been hit hard by inflation, shows you how messed up the world economy is. The rich make the rules to ensure their pockets are kept overflowing whilst secretly stealing from the poor.
If you live in the greater Boston area, you know the next big crisis in the USA will come from the current housing crisis. It’s getting out of hands.
Okay my question it’s where your savings what u did when u are younger ? jobs and opportunities all over this country,just u are lazy drugs consumers it’s no excuse in this country saying I’m jobless or no money or house to leave
That $100 hair dye job did not help her situation.. but having said that the homeless situation in the US is unforgivable.. and its a situation that has been brought on manily by the 1%
Homeless in America is by choice. There are very small percentage Of people are mental health issues I can understand. The rest, they are lazy or on drugs. Why taxpayers bare the burden.
This is disgusting that our politicians are this incompetent.
And sadly, this will give China an opportunity to come in and fund a revolution.
Everyone does
Everybody does
How are we supposed to make 3 times the rent at a 40hr minimum wage $15 hr? Impossible so I’m in my car.
Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life, life was hard for me until I started trading crypto and am now earning $20,000 per week.
Yes I have worked with 4 traders in the past but none of them are as efficient as he is , his trading strategies are awesome !
he’s obviously the best i invested 2000 USD with him and in 9 days i made a profit of 9102 USD.
😢I lost £1200 carelessly trading on a platform then i was referred to Mr William’s and he recovered the loss and made an extra profit of £7600.
I’ve seen different recommendations about William’s Armstrong Trading services, he will be very exceptional for people to talk this good about him
Trust me he’s awesome he has managed my investment so well and my weekly returns are mind blowing
Send all the homeless to Pelosi’s and Newsom’s residence. That would be better
that’s why I love Africa, the world are talking about poverty and insecurity in Africa, but nobody is homeless.
They exported this cancer to Africa India and basically everywhere around the world.
Suggest USA ask Chinese President to second Chinese experts to help solve the homeless problems in America. Nothing wrong with that as Chinese seek US FDI to jump start their economic development.
One of the many problems here in the US is the high cost of housing.
There will be no homelessness in the US ,if I were in charge !
T H E richest country in the world….so proud on their $$$ …
….theres obviously so much $$ that the gov rather spends trillions
for battles on foreign grounds.
How can Western countries say that we are Developed country
‘The land of the free and the home of the brave.’
21st century breakdown?
american government politician should be ashamed to themselves.they waste so much money in defence,but can do nothing about homeless,prolific crime in society cause by broken justice system,mean time they busy interference other country domestic problem like it still on cold war era.its that dumb or what ?
Family togetherness bonding and love towards each other is the thing western countries has to learn from india and other countries of our region.
ALL THIS BOILS DOWN TOO IS THAT WE ARE IN A BROKEN COUNTRY, BROKEN SOCIETY, AND THE WORST DRUG PROBLEM YOU CAN THINK OFF
This is the only true News you broadcasted,
Thank – you .
Freedom to die in the streets…Go USA….GO Freedom….
Where are their families? The elderly shouldn’t have to suffer like this. It is the responsibility of their families to care for them first
Liberalism at it’s finest
Gov will bring in healthier and wealthier immigrants if you can’t work and burden on the government
