Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bo again.
So tonight, we're gonna talk about a problem
I've been hearing about for 20 years and it gets brought up
anytime somebody wants to bring up anything
about any form of social safety net, people are like,
hey, well, we gotta deal with our homeless vets first.
And since those people who pretend to care about them
are obviously not going to propose a solution,
I've got one of my own, scope of the problem.
On the average night, there are 40,056 homeless vets.
All right?
So we need facilities in every state,
because they're not all geographically-centered.
We need them spread out everywhere that can house them,
provide hygiene, food, shelter, everything they need,
recreation.
Okay, so, that network of facilities already exists and as of last year, it was capable
of housing 40,520 people.
So more than.
It's there.
It is there.
So all we have to do is honor our treaty obligations, let the asylum seekers and the migrants out,
show up for their court date, then all of those facilities are open.
They're all there.
There's room for everybody.
Now if they actually have a criminal record or are a danger to society, you put them in
a county jail where they belong.
And I know people are like, well what about the guards?
It's the US.
We now have more people incarcerated than were incarcerated in Stalin's gulags.
They're not going to go without work.
They could get retrained to help the vets because it's normally a lot of those people
saying that we need to help them.
The solution is there.
It's there.
So what are we waiting for?
All it takes is for those people who are all over the comments section screaming about
homeless vets to instead of being in YouTube video comment sections or on Twitter or on
Facebook or wherever, instead of talking to random people on the internet, call your senator.
involved. Now, I know that's unlikely because just like the Constitution, most
of them only care about homeless vets when it suits their needs, but that's all
it's going to take. The facilities are already there and people say, well you
know they're better off in those jails and those detention centers
than they are in their home country. Wouldn't that apply to people on the
streets? Wouldn't that apply to the homeless? It can even help them with what we're paying
since we're using private facilities, a lot of them. We could even help reintegrate them,
help them pay first and last month's rent, get them off the streets, actually solve the
problem instead of a band-aid. The solution is there. All it takes is for those people
who say they care about homeless vets to love homeless vets more than they hate brown people.
Anyway, it's just a thought, y'all have a good night.
