Can You Imagine If...

I just read an article on Politico about California’s homeless problem. Since moving here two years ago I’ve really become aware of it. I see them everywhere in Palm Springs and the surrounding cities. It’s very sad.

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/21/california-authorities-uproot-homeless-people-00057868

Anyway, the article said that due to our mild climate HALF the nations homeless are here. Can you imagine what would happen if Gov Newsome used the DeSantis strategy? After all FL and TX both shipped migrants to blue states saying other states should “share the problem and expense”. He even sent some to the VPs house in DC! Can you just imagine what would happen if bus loads of homeless, each with a new tent, showed up in red states? After all, why should CA have to carry the nations homeless problem? (Sarcasm).

I would never advocate using human beings as a publicity stunt. But the thought of bus loads of homeless setting up a tent city next to the Florida Governors Mansion…. Well I’d pay good money to see that.

We can have a game show like some dystopian novels. The deprivation of the Qpublican party has no lower bounds.
