dot com americans living out of their cars isn't unique to just the city of seattle washington matty quinn reports that there's been a boom in vehicular homelessness especially out on our lovely left coast where rents some skyrocketed in the number of homeless people who don't live in shelters is up twenty thousand from twenty seventeen but with more and more u.s. citizens being forced to live out of their cars due to increasing rent heavy debt low wages and an affordable cost of living what are they going to do when the national law center on homelessness and poverty is reporting that across the country the number of prohibitions against a vehicle residency has more than doubled during the last decade. it appears that the ghost of tom joad still haunts the american highways and cities as we start watching the hawks. want to. get the. real thing. as the plot of.

the day like you know that i got. with. this. because i. welcome on the watching the hearts i robot and downtown of the last. tab of the let me i think i have to look at this is true for not only the united states but around the world as well so pay attention our international friends and family. what good is a booming economy of only a small small percentage of the population can actually enjoy it because that's what i think is happening here in the us everyone says oh the economy is going great everyone can get a job but i don't see a lot of people really enjoying this economy the way i saw it back and like the i'd say the eighty's or the ninety's like what people are buying and having

a great time yeah i would say that you can't have it's not a booming economy if only a small percentage of your population which is in our case mostly the one percent or that top one point zero zero percent or whatever the ninety the rest of the ninety nine percenters are not. they're not doing as well and that to me is like you don't have a booming economy as you said there's tons of jobs. but there are people to fill them you know were there so many issues that play here with child birth. immigration and a lot of other things that i think that it's it's absolutely to chris to ask the american people to think agree that there's a booming economy and to believe that while we still have all these what will who are clearly not getting anything out of their cars are certain living out of their cars and then getting fines for living oh and i'm going to ask you why you know. why is this hybrid why are people forced to bring living living like literally

there so i can go to a can apartment and get a house i'm going to part of what little i have left and put my car and sleep you know down the sidewalk. that's insane why is this happening so well it has always happened it's always been one of those things it's usually the stories i've always heard about artists who come to l.a. and you said it's a very west coast of the united states sort of thing and it's you know actors musicians they live out of their car save money and you know whatever but usually you don't see it leased out in the open but right after two thousand and eight after we have the two thousand and eight crash you did see a lot of people suddenly there were like campsites of people who had lost their homes or their jobs and that these things happen they just happen on the fringes so we don't see them so we think oh it's just happening now people are just living here now casey roach is a program director for new beginnings which is a counseling center that runs safe parking program she told gov a governing dot com the cost of housing is continually rising but social service

programs aren't having any increase in funding if anything they're going to people are making a living but it's just not enough and that's the deal there's a gap because of the people at the bottom the bottom seventy five per cent love to give it some room to say the bottom seventy five percent if their wages aren't going up the prices are still going up because these people making these people richer that bottom seventy five percent you can expect your. base to hold all the weight of your entire domain a lot of people are pulling it out of there you know retire they're pulling in other savings the last report after report saying that you know if somebody most american u.s. citizens can't even afford like an extra four hundred dollars a year but if a charge for four hundred dollars comes out of nowhere there they can't they can't cover it and when you have this look people don't know if they should write is a like no you've taken away people's ability to later keep up with you know the economy and be able to buy things and afford an apartment but then you're going to say look we're going to throw you we're going to buying you maybe i throw you in

jail living out your car your last thing i mean many homeless advocates you know are now pushing for cities to start considering like say parking programs are not as ignorant areas in the city where if you're living on your car b. you can go there and park the but the problem is most u.s. cities are exacerbating the problem by criminalizing it the national law center on homocysteine poverty tracks policies in one hundred eighty seven cities across the country and they observe that this is a bad as the permit the bans that permit vehicle impoundment can cause homeless people to lose their shelter transportation and personal belongings in one fell swoop with no realistic option to retrieve replace them so a lot of times like you know parking tickets or things like that will step up then boom they come in or holland your car away it's in the impound lot your car is all of your family possessions you know everything that you care about are going to charge you two hundred dollars a day that it's here that you can't pay it gets more expensive the longer it takes

you to come up with the money and that's that's the problem with this and we need to start paying attention to this right now right now no one should be having to live out of their car. the all powerful all knowing all consuming god that is amazon faces that back recently when it hiatt when its highly volunteered much discussed artificial intelligence powered facial recognition says . recognition with the k made a slight snafu recently when it incorrectly matched the photos of twenty eight sitting u.s. congressional members to present their mug shots yes b.t.r. reports the a.c.l.u. quote took twenty five thousand publicly available police mug shots and then asked recognition to compare those images to photos of all five hundred thirty five members of congress and when the results came in twenty eight lawmakers were positively i.d.d. by recognition as matching the faces of a rusty is no naturally amazon was none too pleased. about the test and

a blog post amazon's general manager amount would argue that the a.c.l.u. simply use the default setting on the softer which would be too low for law enforcement needs stating the eighty percent confidence trust holder used by the a.c.l.u. is far too low to assure the accurate identification of individuals we would expect to see false positives of this level of confidence we were at about ninety nine percent for use cases where highly accurate face similarity matches are important but settings aside with amazon's evolvement takeover shopping industry the grocery industry the newspaper industry should we really now trust me law enforcement is free no i mean good lord is there anything that amazon and jeff bezos doesn't have . as a fellow bald man little finger tips no and pharmaceuticals because remember they bought us a royal company i mean good lord there's a certain point we have to step back and say ok maybe enough was enough and if you're you know brilliant baseball recognition software can only be on the highest

of highs settings to be trusted in its ability to do what you said it's supposed to be able to do maybe you should get out of the surveillance business to my favorite part is when amazon says we recommend that for use in cases where highly accurate face similarity matches are important it's a facial recognition program it's only job is to. nice face that is a highly accurate level i would hope you guys i mean look who you are you don't fault your default is doesn't work you know the it doesn't work i default like eighty percent which means it's going to be like this margin of error of what the baby is humor says yeah you know i mean it's really what's worse though is in the you still use tell us there was racial bias growing the algorithm had a racial bias just so the root actually reported that the a.c.l.u. is findings suggest that there was a major racial bias in the software because most of the politicians that were

messed identified as criminals i don't think that we shot them to the folks at home were black and latino vote and could. representative john lewis who literally marched for equality for a full equality. recognition facial recognition. or usually ok even even the the software couldn't even even even in a in a color official intelligence situation and the human intelligence that was giving said if they're black and latino they're probably a higher chance that they're. now. doing this for the congress to suddenly step up of course and say oh what a patient rest recognition might be bad oh if we're targeted we're compare and we're mistaken for criminals which given our congress i can't really fault facial recognition for failing in that i don't think it's a mail that i think exactly what it does really that was sort of a fight lawmakers actually wrote a letter to amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos it was basically addressing the ineffectiveness of the technology and

they've asked to come in to provide a list of government agencies using recognition with specific emphasis on law enforcement bodies and intelligence branches now back to congress doesn't know i'm sorry these are elected officials but they don't know what technology law enforcement is using like they have to ask amazon hey by the way to just sell this to that's what i find really strange why do you know. well that's them saying like congress doesn't know what our law enforcement or intelligence communities are using with what we're sub contracting out what where where our tax dollars are being spent this is ridiculous so remember the russians are going to get us most iraqi security you know but we got a we got going to be great it's become a war of words because mao would amazon's general manager for deep learning in artificial intelligence great title stated machine learning is a very valuable tool to help law enforcement agencies while being concerned it's applied correctly we should not throw away the oven because the temperature could be set wrong and burn the pizza i know that's

a really terrible example because in this example unfortunately you told that your dean fault to use the auburn to cook a pizza was the setting that part the people that's your stuff and look i'm sorry man but guess what if the oven i have at home burns a pizza that's my bad i can have some pizza if your facial recognition puts the wrong guy in jail that's a little bit of a big deal yeah just saying kind of beg to stay and. as we go to break arc watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter your full shows that are to dot com coming up we talk with former green party vice presidential candidate john. kerry and dangers of the current nationalism and all terrorism that is gripping washington d.c. and the country stay tuned for that to the.

politicians to you should. put themselves on the line think that it's. the reject. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you do like to be cross which is what the flag tree and all the people. i'm interested in always in the waters of my house. there should be more than.

came. most of the people in euros to its variants of the bombing we were in number calling this rude all day experience is all of this it's a little slower. than the growth that's and. and that our psyche would not outsold. in the wake of russia gave us president donald trump's recent meeting with russian president vladimir putin turning the cold war fever gripping watching them do you

fear and corporate newsrooms around the country to eleven when combined with the approval on wednesday by congress of the latest annual defense authorization bill to the tune of seven hundred seventeen billion u.s. tax dollars the calls for peace before bombs are definitely being drowned out of the foreign policy discussion like never before with corporate democrats and republicans alike reaching post nine eleven three iraq war nationalist fervor it's important to remember that there are still voices calling for peace and end to him to imperialism one of those voices is former twenty sixteen great party previous presidential candidate and national organizer for the black alliance for peace as on the baraka who recently joined us from cali colombia we started by asking mr barak a why are we seeing such pushback against peace organizations like his and what does that say about the political activist culture here in the u.s. . i think it's largely what it represents is that when you look at the.

trajectory of the u.s. opinion political opinion i do culture you see. a consistent. moved to the right border as for decades and so it is understandable there are a lot with that sort of a general mood toward the right. refined bad piece the so-called left has also moved toward the right. so what we have been in the west they say are the politics of collaboration and very real way that is. people who still applies itself and is left out still find themselves on same side of its events and. they still see themselves taking positions that forty years ago would have been caught out being. a right is position. so you know that is part of the

pushback against our efforts and against it to try to repeal the at the opening of this country want us to. be able to same side of us mention we instead take a position that our responsibility is to uphold. interventions or to be spanked it's a national blow as it relates to national sovereignty to respect the principles of step determination in to allow for people to the south of themselves how they attempt to govern themselves or even make a political change our responsibility is to make sure that this state is not reading in i mean systematically violating the human rights of people around the world. who you know and i think he i think that's the sad thing that we're seeing more and more to have is this is this violent pushback against peace that any of

you say hey maybe i want you know two nuclear superpowers to talk rather than throw insults at each other that's bad you know that's bad if you're a traitor and a traitor and us you don't care about your country i said hey you know crazy i. here i thought we were a country that broke away from monarchy and colonialism and all of these things because we wanted to be a self-governing democracy yes we wanted that as a people yes and we want to protect that right the democracy that means you can't run around testing people but they aren't allowed to hope for peace or that war is better than p.s. that is nonsense and i think he was very accurate when you looked at like you know the last fifty sixty years you see this drift you know from the nineteen seventy's on you've seen this drift to the right especially in for an hour or so there's a very you know hard core we've got to do it of well bill clinton and the night the democrats of the ninety's moved everything right in this attempt which worked which

was to make the democratic party more palatable so if you keep moving toward the middle but the middle became the right they just blew past the middle and kept going well i love this like weird idea that somehow the middle of this country wants to drop bombs on people sorry but i don't know that anybody who is a moderate who thinks dropping bombs is a good idea it sounds to be that some weird thing that's only codifies washington d.c. circles of life you know they think about their words like oh well the middle they're ok with spending seven hundred billion dollars a year on war and they're ok with that because their nerve in the middle we move more right well you know you move right you missed the majority the reality is there's one more item on process you just look at the wisconsin numbers between republicans and democrats on who won the presidential election and it literally swings back to who ever said they were going to get more wars by the way. for the next democrat who is going to look at what's going on and this is the thing that

you're also seeing is that john johnson affair pointed out on the m.s.n. b.c. coverage i think it's really important thing that we have to talk about covered stormy daniels over food. four hundred times compared to next to zero copies of the u.s. involvement in a war in yemen and so we are as on what important issues are being ignored or forgotten in the media's obsession over donald trump and all rush. one of the things that we've been trying to call attention to the fact that while the elements of corporate media along there are democrats and powerful elements. in the state. keeping their attention on the personality of donald trump just the ads for it's. been a continuation of governance in the us and new governance that has resulted in policy

the path of measurable negative impact it will have in the future on ordinary working class people you know as there was there was a much debate for example around the the trump opposes to cut taxes both individual and corporate tax. there wasn't much discussion in the corporate press around the of being proposed by the chairman of the trade should to expand the military budget at one point a bunch of to four billion dollars that ended up being eighty eight billion dollars which both republicans and democrats on color line in terms of support. there has not been much discussion around a number of the toasties that implement. that kept continue the. talos things of the last four day games that have been undermining the objective

that you are working people than we see that there's been no change in the. bipartisan commitment or understanding that the way the u.s. is going to. it's insurance is jim it is going to use military force. but we've seen from the democrat side that even those minimal entrance on the part of the truck administration's you. to deescalate tensions with various countries including russia. data ministers as has been faced with that will push back its still almost a craze obsession or an escalating tensions and creating a political environment in which a direct military confrontation could be the inevitable consequence so you know it's bay continuation of certain kinds of policy it's very dangerous. these

policies both basically. farmers. who move man i mean yeah i mean i think he hits the nail on the head and that's one of the great reasons i wanted to contact him and talk to him you know we want to reach out to him so i think he has such a great perspective on what the real problems are and what is being ignored i don't think. it's it's strange because i think what we're saying here is this conglomeration of greed and zina phobia and nationalism and you have these sides that are normally it seems as if the platforms on the sides of swat to an extent where looking at someone like a person not where they were born not what borderlines they were born in or out of and looking at someone like a human being that used to be very democratic values is now very different and yet we're not seeing that and i think that's where there's a communication issue and more and more throw on the term traitor around all the time the last days i mean it started everyone from president donald trump for not

admonished and putin overlarge meddling to even was it the other day c.n.n.'s jim acosta who parting from the latest strong outreach he was called a traitor so we asked a john what are the dangers of this kind of blind nationalism that is. grouping both sides of the political spectrum here in the united states. has been a very dangerous sort of rupture with the reality of that. i think the more dangerous them the post nine eleven situational can bring barmen i think the only historic comparison that we could make and i think i think legitimately is the mccarthy era where basically there's there was this attempt to impose that kind of political and ideological conformance you know the old american people. that any opposition to the. sort of a group think that it was resulting in the mobilization of public opinion against

the soviet union and against. progress socialism communism it was to be seen as embrace seeing the enemy and to be seen as treason. and see the same kind of. irrationality in place today. where basically if you raise questions about the dominant narrative of of. collusion between the trump campaign and the russians you're the question if you suggest that. i question the legitimacy concerning the role of nato if you question the ability of maintaining a connection or u.s. policies and in syria that you are to be to be questioned. you know there seems to be an environment in which irrationality. is is the.

only acceptable. route to go is very because it means that critical voice that. we're going to need to raise questions to make sure that we don't have a complete departure from object around the more people becoming intimidated out of their struggling to speak out about the collaboration between the intelligence agencies in the private sector. and the result being that they have made it more difficult for people to see. critical information. with a mission to be disseminated to the internet social media. and there's been a. well except the book perspectives that has a very visible impact on the nature of immigrant practice in democratic

bills here in this country. the first libraries on earth were constructed with and temples as far back as twenty six hundred b.c. from clay tablets to popeye risk or scrolls the collection of information that is accessible to a community as a major force in the evolution of society which is why you shouldn't judge the newly on earth remains of germany as oldest public library by its cover as soon as archaeologists unveiled the walls of the structure near a protestant church and calling the city center they knew it was of roman origin and from the middle of the second century but it wasn't until they noticed these niches on the wall that they find the secrets hidden for so long it turns out those a little is were actually there to hold cupboards for the storage of squirrels turns out the column library looks like it it could have held upwards of twenty thousand squirrels and its location suggests it was open to the public it seems

that the romans and the germans really took a novel approach to education in communities and creating a great place to go where to get checked out love it all right. god it was our show for it they were going in this world we're about told real love up so i told wall i love you i'm tired we're open to all time top quality keep on watching the talks that were great invite everybody. to. see a says holland kentucky. overboard this move them boys you can walk through street fanny's leave. a ko money since he was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines are said. that it was a love to see these people

a survivor was disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. see it is like that is pending and you can take your panix out your body and the body continues on it's just an appendage. so this is what people don't understand is that the u.k. leaving the e.u. the e.u. continues on great but if you take the appendix out of the bodies it's going to wither and travel and die because it has no body to exist anymore and this is what's happening in the end it's going to be a lot of fun to watch because there's a living beyond their means for somebody years now and that's all coming off the rose.

means on the front line in the. information war the u.s. senate intelligence committee looks for ways to influence campaign spearheaded by foreign powers we got reaction from russia's foreign ministry to the latest concerns on capitol hill. a lot of pride privately to content less news more names. it's just hilarious when i hear that. the mind american democracy also ahead on the program and nato develops a game to teach players how to fake news but critics say it's simply a propaganda tool. refugees in jordan are being required to hand over a bottle metric data in order to gain access to a downer.
