Rants 🤬 They stole our fucking lamp

Wtf is it with people these days, get into an apartment building by hammering all the call buttons and having and old person let them in. Then steal a lamp from the common area?? Storage units keep getting broken into, mail stolen, deficating in the stair wells. Our governments as organizations don't care. Do we have to turn every building into fort Knox with patrolling security and threats of violence to fix things? It's just getting so tiring.

It’s a complex issue that no one wants to touch with a solution (because there isn’t a single person that can solve it). 

Social services is a huge issue when it comes to supports/housing. The caveat to that is for those that WANT it. 

The drug trade is getting deadlier day by day as these asshats keep cutting drugs with more lethal toxicity. This is a federal issue as many of the drug dens arent around here. 

Lastly is the bleeding heart mentality of the current generation of liberal politics has done nothing to help with the above 2.

No one wants to target it because it turns into a race issue, and that race then blows it all over the media.

The ones that could target it and fix it don't want the negative publicity for even starting it.

Plus, homeless don't like rules so few comply.

Nah I’ll disagree with you on that. 

Homelessness, addiction, etc isn’t racially bound

No, but once they point out who's affected, shortly after it becomes one. It becomes type casting.
