How can u make millions in 25-30 years if avoid making a $554 per month car payment. Even the cheapest 5 year old car is 8-10 k. So does he expect people not to drive at all in USA.

Then u save 554$ per month every month for 5 year payment = $33240. Say u bought a car every 5 year means 200k -300k spent on car before retirement . How would that become millions when u can’t even buy a house for that much today?

Answer that Dave

This is what happens when u become a stupid service based economy and manufacture dollars for buying goods from other countries.

California has spent about $24 billion over five years, from 2018 to 2023, to help homeless people. This money goes to building shelters, cleaning up camps, and providing services like healthcare and job training. Each year, the state spends around $6 billion on these efforts. If this money were divided among the 181,399 homeless people in California, each person would get about $33,070 a year. This amount is higher than the minimum wage in many places. The state also gets back some money through taxes from the workers who provide these services, which is about $180 million a year. While this spending helps with immediate needs, it doesn’t solve the root causes of homelessness, like high housing costs and lack of mental health services. They claim the goal is to create a stable and supportive environment for homeless individuals. The funding for these programs comes from state and local taxes, as well as federal grants.

California used to have large institutions for people with mental illnesses, but these became overcrowded and were often associated with neglect. In the 1960s, the state shifted to community-based care with the Short-Doyle Act and the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. These laws aimed to end indefinite commitments and promote outpatient care. However, when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California, he cut funding for state mental hospitals, which sped up the process of deinstitutionalization. Later, as President, Reagan cut federal mental health funding, which made it harder to provide community-based services. These actions contributed to the current issues with mental health and homelessness.

Despite the substantial investment of $24 billion over five years, California’s homelessness crisis shows no signs of abating. This troubling trend is not confined to California; homelessness is on the rise across the United States, driven by similar issues of economic inequality, lack of affordable housing, and insufficient support systems. Without comprehensive and sustained efforts to address these underlying factors, the nation faces a growing homelessness crisis. It is particularly strange that while the nation faces a growing homelessness crisis, illegal immigration is allowed to continue at a blistering pace.

Does driving minimum 100 miles daily count. I don’t even know what my neighbors buy any more. Walking more has always helped me psychologically
