A New Look And Some Friction

Welcome to the new tboden.blogspot.com. Leave your coats at the door and stay awhile.

I ran across an article that was on the front of the New York Times today. If I were to ask you how many homeless people lived in the United States how many would you say? The number that came to my head was 8 million. I was surprised to find out that there are only 600,000 homeless in the US. This surprised me. The article goes on to talk about the rise of homelessness in rural areas, which compromise 9% of the total.

This produced friction...
And the wheels began to turn...

Why doesn't someone do something about this? There are 280 million people in the United States and 279.4 live with something over their heads. Why don't we find a way to put something over the heads of people. Why can't we find a job somewhere, anywhere to get these people on their feet. Why doesn't someone develope a community near large cities for homelss people where they can have housing and food in exchange for working for chain stores and/or corporate production facilities that allow advancement in leadership. Maybe upper leadership can have a choice to move somewhere else after they gt off their feet. 600,000 is a very insignificant number compared to 279.4 million.

We can be selfish bastards...
And I am not afraid to admit it like it is...
