8:00 pm
the, the sweet, the nice, the, what so striking for me is this contrast of in california where some people are so rates and other people are barely making. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you do think there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing? i don't know. they only want a handful of people controlling everything they want to keep people under their
8:01 pm
under this, under your son's control people. that's a way of controlling people. you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing food, you know, health care, education close, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. i know little extra so you can maybe go to the movies and go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know, he's doing the to the whole dance with the yeah, i'm 77 and i don't get enough nearly enough income. but i have a affordable housing, it's called affordable housing, but they keep facing the rants, but they don't which to say don't keep,
8:02 pm
they don't waste my income to match. you know what i mean? my social security retirement. so do come here to make some extra money. yeah. supplemental. you know what i mean? from the very last job i have was security, but i've done many things i've. i've been an optician, i've done security. i've been a secretary, i been a forklift operator. i've sent them different things and you are working all your life. right. well, you know from the 17 on us. yeah, i've been, i've been waiting for housing for awhile. like around 17 years. and um, how from home, personal care. and uh, salvation army, they got together and they got me a room for a year. so you know, which is pretty good because, you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much. and still like be pushy. i had a, i had major surgery on my legs, come on this thing, but i also have a disease and my legs,
8:03 pm
for my blood cells and my most a switch. and my skin has a hard time sticking to my legs. so they put these on there to hold a bag, which is the big one right here. because you don't want to kill them so many times . so i was flying around here this and i don't know where to begin or what i'm really is. but i don't know, that's what a lot of slot most people are homeless then. then the houses are less in california of telephones. where are you from new york one year one. so you can see it for worth fucking facts cuz my girls tend to take the little overdose all set overdose and have to come back in a great home. so you don't phase, you know, a lot of people die enough enough. don't even know what the fuck is. it's all just crazy. a lot of my friends home boys in a little girls that are different offices and not joe is. well, i can handle it. the new system can handle, you know, they're not strong minus. and if you want to be realistic like realistic about the
8:04 pm
problem regarding it or the problem really liked. and that's where the drugs, the drugs is where the problems lies. and legalize the that met the like i said, that the better knees and other drugs to a misdemeanors. what good did that do? is it yourself to be able to do more drugs easier? because the fear before it was a fear of a felony going to jail, doing the present time or whatever the case may be. now is just a ticket. that's it. you catch him sitting on the side of the street endangering children's wise like smoking is crap. all in the open and you give them a ticket and you walk away what. how is that change it any that he just goes, gets more and just does it again. it's like we don't care or respect
8:05 pm
the human of the human race, but when we made a clause in the side, it all, they're only a misdemeanor. now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry. so you can say you're from london. yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. what's the name of it? do you think? yeah. and that's the reasons and what do you think about that today says here? so no, definitely not. it is a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. well, i didn't know existed to the level of did i know it's very high. i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is you know, it is quite trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. was out. right. i don't know most bag that i've heard so many people say they're going to bring it in to get roll and help the people that that's been there since the 1960. we're in 2014 or, i mean we run our on other countries. like is your country, do you need some help?
8:06 pm
do you'd still go? and they'll help you. yeah. i know you bought some money into a bunch of stuff to help your people get better. and then we look into and then you guys come over here as well. or tortured everything. perfect because me being away so much of that. so why i've seen it all over the top 20 on 29 now, but obviously grew up watching american television. all of that stuff in what we see on screen here is like, oh sorry, from that is more like a perfect image of everything when we still go to depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was actually going on. completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here and much more neglected then over that, then i can just see i've been to every single state who i speak to some years in over the last years. what was what used to be a partial problem of families here and there. now it is because it's such
8:07 pm
a big problem. ringback so we're kind of the, uh, you know, had our schedule, we own safe then? well, so on the north side, that's a mission. they have room for our own $600.00 b, both party to families. you know, you don't see it, but there are a lot of children on skid row. they try to keep them inside. no, we have multiple themes from homeless held guard to the community health project doing valuable work, going around distributing non canon fentanyl districts because that is a significant number of overdose. us that happened daily, you know, schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually see, it goes 54 blocks. quote. and the funny thing is right, the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there,
8:08 pm
i saw 2 goods arguing amongst each other. why should the dude over the dog and watch the way? and the bodies laid out there until 10 o'clock the next day. why i don't know, and there's a police station right across the street. and this was, that was right in front of the midnight shelter. after i saw that i, i just left, i decided not to be down there. so there are a lot of people who are struggling with mental health issues on schedule. part of that is because um, you know, whole mess us by itself is so much trauma on people site keep that, you know, regular people just being on the street end up with a mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and a big part of it is having really no support for people with mental illness. so the way the hospital system works, after the initial days, the state doesn't pay for the care of patients. so what the hospitals do is they
8:09 pm
medicaid them and they dropped him off on skid row. that was a hospital vegas that was caught them being 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row. 500 in sacramento, and 500 in ad tucson, arizona. most of the time when i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here, just people watch you like watching the television. oh is. will good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos and he's in is the oldest in words. it almost looks like walking zombies from the movies. like it's going to pop up in the 1st i don't know, but now, but being on the real tip on that, it's back now. it attacks the muscles were the, it basically start filling up with water. it also attacks the strength and in their body, where they can keep state a,
8:10 pm
a straight body up. so they're basically fold it in half. i have a slip, right? no real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days. past employee of delirium. i'm now as a point of just totals exhausting and frustration of i can't get a hold of my family holidays. 4 years old and i look like them probably 60 because of what streets of done is i. it's tiring. i'm so tired. i tried to go to the hospital because i have the stores on my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is that, you know, i don't, i don't use anything needles or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with this, you know, it's,
8:11 pm
and it's only select people there. they're destroying me. little bits of time rather disturbing. the military. i was with the marine corps, specifically more so a little bit in libya, smaller. you have the people in small entry each other veterans and we treat each other right here on the street. certainly this is the most wretched group of people i've ever met in my life. i wish that there was a button you can pushing it would exterminate all the birds, all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped and the only way and when i tried to get the guy off of her, i was attacked by his homeboys. they broke for my ridge. uh they split my lip open. i mean like they supposed to be a pretty good excuse my language. the so sensor bare is
8:12 pm
just children with the little uh like a baby uh furnace kind of thing. the thing is movie smoking, like smoking of it don't need to be afraid and cho yates. so i'm fairly see in your lives because this person, this person like says and now you're going to go and do that because he's your friend and you want to be accepted, recognize cj for lo, understood as all the really, everybody wants. sure. sometimes some people go buy a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody isn't as intuitive or intelligence that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't, we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of hating them for what they're doing actually notice and then maybe it might be
8:13 pm
a different story. is kind of kukes being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where to go sleep, watch it. you know, you to walk into a town. you don't know where to spot is, don't know where you could pop it up to be safe. still not to serve his place in word world, it's a made of clocks and easy, nice could cut through it. but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl. she's the ones the type of word that because i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm not violent. i don't like being, i don't wife violence. but this was the question, is she, she has a couple of what they call uh she calls me speaker, be don sticks where she's not afraid to come out of the tent and bash it. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home. it's where
8:14 pm
i live every single night. take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the
8:15 pm
syria as a sovereign state has ceased to exist, can the western back h t s, and other groups establish some kind of central control and, or what will haltingly determine the face of the syrians, people the maybe we can do a legal interview with, oh, my god, let's say the com right here, waiting on the chair, right. so you barely
8:16 pm
hear i am grateful for the look here. see me in the right. you have places like this only exist. can you imagine where you will be at this place like this? well, you know, this is some of the attendance and the struggle that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle and he gets very real. especially when you have family children, you know, can you imagine, you know, what do you go if you cannot afford you ran that you have children. i mean, my heart goes out to my mom's like her that, that i see her daughter i, she's going to school down the street. and i need some beautiful sight to see that . and, and we have, uh, we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire the little child that she's smart, right?
8:17 pm
beautiful. biggest smile. so she brings a big smile to i own faces. you know, i just put them doing well, but we're not affordable housing. and you know, many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when age of, uh bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the rooms kind of just it, so it would be more affordable. but uh, they have certain amount of units that are specifically for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and, and place them. if we have any openings, you know that you may go to whoever it may be applying, but application has come really fast and, and the fills up fast. we have other buildings that we just bought. and as soon as they fix them, it fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this the city that, that we can actually provide housing
8:18 pm
a much cheaper than what the, the city is doing. the city spends a lot of money and deliver very few apartment units. some of the units can start as low as a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount for well we offer here. you pay close to $2000.00 for a studio unit with the bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half a month. the other thing was martha was going to lose her subsidized income through the pro, i'm sorry i'm, she was and, and she wouldn't have been able to afford the rent, but they were gonna put her in another one of our buildings. and she loved it here . so much we ended up just trying to advocate for her when she was able to stay and then we lowered her,
8:19 pm
her rent down now. so she can stay ready to go. yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean, some of those buildings are left to empty and we have, we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who were on our streets in. but that's why there's always talk. so cities having attacks for having empty spaces, so then they would be more incentivized to, to accept section 8 or take a family in or not look for their ideal candidate. but real estate, i think, is just become this huge way to invest and they're not thinking about housing, people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the, you know, you never get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and,
8:20 pm
and we've just been this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore the wiley. yeah, i use my own i use i love the seat. so my dream is to one day have a place in my own with my husband and be either running or know, coram, or working at one brand, the court room. yeah. and studying to see guys, you know, secretaries and taking care of i love the sea as much as i loved dogs. which creatures would be the 1st animals and you inquire in there on the dolphins. and any day to have a spot for the crabs and the clams and the, the oysters it was your speed though. so you actually can raise them and they can
8:21 pm
give you pearls, clams, and oysters. they can give you pearls, if you have enough sand at the bottom, the much more unhappy with that. because then i don't get to, to worry about, i got 0 stressors. how about you? you as a human being, how many suppressors do you have? i don't have a list for me as me. i got no, i'm happy exactly where i need to be free from all the lies
8:22 pm
that everybody cast around like parents and then decide you know, one way because you're not so dark, you're ok or more. we do a little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge said to the ball, how people should look dressed at it, all those aspects. it's going for different forms of races, like my daddy always say, keep it simple, stupid. i have one son was there. oh, that's totally different story. is that one? i don't know the, another thing to add with homelessness in california on one of the things and again across the board in the us as well. one of the biggest reasons we have this issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children exiting the foster care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life. when they exit
8:23 pm
after they turn 21, they basically have very little access to services. but unfortunately, because of foster care system is so broken. and because these kids are going through so much trauma, by the time they hit our streets, desktop frame for mental illness, they might be suffering from addiction. or they might be they might be putting situations where a pushes them into into incarceration, which i'll do monthly means that they end up homeless late in life. your income match the cost of living back in my time, but it doesn't match anymore. in fact i who we get in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on there. the minimum that you can get, which is like, i say, a $22.00 to $25000.00 a year. but in, in america there's no cap on how much you can make or how little you can get because you can get nothing or the skies to limit their talking about slash and social security and slash and different things. i don't know why we don't get
8:24 pm
enough as it is, you know what i'm saying. you work all your life and then you want to retire. but you can't really retire because uh, i might end up homeless eventually if, if there was, if the rent keeps going up, then you know, i may eventually get homeless my own so which i worry about, you know, we, so richter, profit from all this corporations during the pandemic. i'm leaving now. rick, the prophets. we have more 1000000000, there is now the neighbor before us. and yet we have more people who are living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. corporations control and there's no secret billing. there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, the 1st thing that is going to be thought about is not the, the, the working class or the people is how is going to affect feelings. and they're
8:25 pm
getting the by the not in put in us against each other. you know, the republicans said that democrats are the enemy, the democrats say the republicans, are the enemy. at the end of the day, the rule of enemy is the people that are saying power, you know, and we have a whole bunch of followers that don't see how they have sold us out. it would be a good starter one. so it's not that bad, but it's too small it would be a good start or would you rather stay in a car by vehicle? yes. rather than yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive or you have to learn about the drive. yeah. i don't have my license yet. i've never driven a car in my life. so it's also called sprain during which is squared change to words put together. you basically make a sign. you fly walking down either
8:26 pm
a median or you sit on a street corner and hope to make money. what can way of like the most successful day? i made a 100 bucks on his corner. sure . yeah, i'd be really, there's a villain, ization of people who are in house and their neighbors are instead of helping them, they are looking at them as a problem in very dehumanizing way. and i think if they would just embrace them as their neighbors, because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with he'll have to leave it outside for a while like um,
8:27 pm
bein underneath the bridge and hearing the car. it's susan. you can waste a lot of energy and time thinking about negative things and not being pause while you're sitting there waste. you know, a lot of time being negative about it, you're missing out in the opportunities that could be there for you. while it's happening. like i said, we're our worst critics. we'll beat ourself. make things harder than what it should be snapped at it. it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry. we're good. oh, pressure for the
8:28 pm
payment. it's me. i want you to give you detail out of here before i end up having to hurt myself or hurt somebody else or get hurt myself. really? the who's coming to that i got attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and had my bike showing it's all by the same people using them crazy or various things crazy. but i know it's for a fact. it's not the
8:29 pm
i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show you alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various job. i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody in the demon the robot must protect his phone, existence was on the the the
