The 65 Billion we sent to Ukraine

The problem is a lot of those people don't want to be in a mental hospital.... they would rather live on the streets.

Are we going to commit them against their will?

I agree. That's why I said it is complicated--that and they refuse to take their meds and if they did, they might not refuse hospitalization.

But to answer your question, for me, yes, the severely mentally ill should be committed against their will, if need be. Legally, they would be appointed a guardian and that guardian would decide if it was in the person's best interest because the mental illness impairs that ability in many. That's the rub.

Not saying this would be a huge problem, but the movie "I care a lot" immediately popped in my head.

Without looking it up, can you explain carried interest?

taxing fund managers, private equity earnings, as if they are long term cap gains instead of job earnings.

It kept my attention. Definitely a messed up premise for a film, which highlights greed and all that could go wrong with what we are talking about.

Wasn't Hunter Biden in Ukraine? Wasn't Hunter Biden in China? So we send oil to China, and money plus weapons to Ukraine. Are these facts linked together?

No.

Should have been spent on Mental hospitals for the Homeless! If we had hospitals that could help the mentally ill and homeless, maybe the crime rate would drop in the big Cities.

I lived with some homeless guys for about a week when I dropped out of college and went down to Houma Louisiana to work on oil rigs back in the 70s. Good people.

One guy panhandled five bucks and bought me and my buddy each a can of Spam and bought himself a bottle of whiskey. When I got my first job I went to the bus station where I had my backpack in storage. Gave the panhandler a pair of brand-new green corduroys I had never worn.

After working on the rigs for a couple months I hitchhiked to Houston where I was going to fly to California. I was walking up the street in a seedy part of town toward the bus station and saw a long line of people. Turned out to be a soup kitchen. Wasn’t paying much attention when I saw those green corduroys. Sure enough, there he was waiting in line for some soup, still wearing the corduroys. We had a great reunion.

The money is never gone. They can just print more.

The Pathway to Power. See Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals….Create a problem that leads to chaos and dependency on the govt for a solution
