$10,316
per person with them saying 60,000 people without homes and $619
million is what they spent and can’t nobody understand why the number
isn’t changing- thanks for the digits CNN. Seriously. Cause I’m not complaining but you have to think in that money people were also paid that
work in the industry also? Or was that actual dollars that actually
touched those 60,000 lives? It’s a lot of money... but Ivan caused an
estimated US$20.5 billion (2004 USD) in damage in the United States (as
per google), per the insurance journal Over the past two years, storms
including Michael, Irma and Harvey led to scores of deaths and over $250
billion in damages. I’m kind of an all or nothing person... you know
go big or go home... like if you’re going to tackle a problem... are you
going to like ‘truck it’ (yes, I’m referencing football) or you gonna
like tug at its waist line like a... and still get scored on? It’s just
that, I’m referencing a game... and this isn’t a game, this is real
life (as a teacher of mine so righteously put it) and we’re talking
about people and their lives. It’s like with all that’s going on in the
world, where is the love? It’s poetic... but if you have live in your
heart there is no way you can attack people or have judgement in your
heart... now I’m having love right now so I’m trying not to go their
with the baby boomer group but you know I have to... cause they are all
about ‘tough love’, and ‘he needs an ass whippin’ and lets take away
healthcare from people, and let’s... it’s all very conservative and
liberal and yes coming from someone who is without a home... but I
haven’t always been that way. And I don’t and haven’t planned on being
so this long... and it’s not that I don’t qualify... it’s that it’s
literally not available. There literally isn’t enough supply to fill
the demand... it’s that every day the supply isn’t changing, people are
dying, suffering, and I hate to go there but increasing healthcare
costs and in a way that’s not needed/ the demand is going up day by day
and the healthcare costs that I’m speaking of literally shouldn’t
exist... if I hadn’t been without a home, having been basically
kidnapped by the sheriffs, bused to San Jose for a case I could have
beat (and intend to go back and fight because holding someone without
bail is indeed coercion) on a bench warrant that I called multiple times
and told them I was in the hospital and couldn’t come...then... yeah
they don’t send you back... so I was like trapped there... and that
entire hospital stay for when I was attacked by those three people with
golf clubs or a lead pipe or whatever it was... ugh I was actually
sleeping, like it’s funny you get to a place of safety and the night
terrors and memories come back slowly and geez if sometimes I don’t wake
up like I did that day and have a fear that they are about to come walk
up on me and ‘whack whack whack’ i can literally here each hit in my
head from like how it sounded internally. It was like ‘whack- oh shit’,
‘whack- that really effing hurts,’ ‘whack- oh shit there goes my left
lung,’ ‘whack- oh that was my head,’ ‘whack- oh that’s going to leave a
mark.’ I think I had 37 or 43 whack marks on my body... and had to be in
the hospital for days and have x-rays and a Chest tube, and IV’s and
antibiotics and yeah, they had to feed my person with no home ass and...
no they didn’t let me shower once I had the chest tube and once they
removed it the lady was like oh just wait until you get where you’re
going to shower... cause I was being discharged that same day... like
all of those costs and trauma could have been avoided. Not to mention
your attitude and self invalidation that’s going to come when you or if
you say or think to yourself- oh it wasn’t that bad if he’s talking
about it like this with all that third personisms (or the way I’m able
to talk about it and stuff) and stuff. No, it’s just that I’m me and
this is how I’ve always looked at things... imagine me as a five year
old and you know why my parents are the way they are towards me- just a
problem child. I mean I can’t let them down right? Ha! My birthday is
in 18 days. Gosh I never thought I’d make it to 30 and I’m going to be
33- that’s crazy. Hey I’m so happy to be alive it’s obscene- it doesn’t
make sense to people and sometimes I seem depressed and I am... but not
really at myself... just the situation and how there is literally no way
out. I found the black hole of planet earth... and it’s the justice
system of the states.
The
U.S. has sustained 250 weather and climate disasters since 1980 in
which overall damages/costs reached or exceeded $1 billion. Values in
parentheses represent the 2019 Consumer Price Index cost adjusted value
(if different than original value). The total cost of these 250 events
exceeds $1.7 trillion.
It
sucks because the only reason we’re able to track anything in regards
to those without homes is because of the affordable healthcare act/Obama
care and that’s just since 2010. I’m trying to figure out how long it
takes to like look into the numbers for those without homes from like an
evidence based practice level but it’s like we don’t even really have
ten years of data. What do most people do once they are in homes- they
ummmm get jobs or do something productive (they go to movies, pay for
bus/metro rides, get cars, pay for gas, go to school or university, give
back to the community, open businesses, eventually buy homes, have
children that graduate secondary school, it’s seems like all of that is
good for economic growth right?) - I don’t wanna speak for them but it
seems as though they get or if it’s ‘too late for them’ in a sense of
being disabled because of the traumas they’ve endured or been subject
to- imagine before ‘W’ a person on the streets could be stabbed show up
to an er to receive emergency care and be turned away! Hell, the oldest
gay person that’s been to prison is literally probably in their 50’s! I
know I talk about this all the time but like even right now all the
funding is frozen? Ok ok it’s sitting somewhere collecting interest? Or
is it even there? I dunno what the Feds are doing with it. But I’m like
so annoyed around the situation. These are just stressors that people
do not need in their already difficult lives- and no you judgmental
twat- life is not difficult for everyone. Everyone does not have to
struggle to stay alive. What came first? The chicken or the egg? The
effing coop or chicken house.
Hey,
do you ever do those receipt surveys? Like the ones ‘take a 2 minute
survey and be entered to win $500’ or a thousand or two thousand
dollars... do you know anyone that’s ever won one of those? I get
frustrated cause like the lady that won the hgtv dream home... like I
entered once. She Entered like twice a day and I’m not trying to speak
for her but dang... that’s kind of what gets me sometimes, how many
others did that? Like, people are hard up for homes. I guess my point is
that if it was in the ‘system’ in place currently there might be some
financial help coming, such as some type of stimulus or talk of one...
(go blue(Democrats)! I’m just saying... the red(Republicans) has got to
go). Haha justin Bieber is singing in my ears I am the only one.... and
it’s like the democrats are the only party for us/the states. I went to
this two hour long thing the other day for a $30 gift card. Like I’m
grateful for it but it’s like... it’s like the above... throwing pennies
at a tornado. I tried to go buy a backpack at the store it was from and
I couldn’t find one at that price or under. Like- it wasn’t available,
even online haha. I did feel a little defeated at that point. So food
stamps is $6 per day- which I’m grateful for, I am... but if you’re
supposed to have 6, 8 oz glasses of water per day and like me have HIV
and are only supposed to drink purified/bottled water and live in an
area where there isn’t something phenomenal like Trader Joe’s where
water is like $0.25 a bottle then literally those 6 bottles of water are
you $6 a day.
I read
that they are doing some addiction recovery stuff or study and seeing if
a rewards system works or helps. It’s like- that works for a child
being potty trained but it just further goes to show that privacy and
peoples personal business who are actually victims of trauma are going to
be even further traumatized by a rewards system? (Haha can the rewards system be being left the eff alone...) A rewards system is being studied... I
don’t know what all the details were, it didn't specify. It seems a bit childish? Or like is that really what
someone thinks will help (sorry I'm picturing Oprah shouting 'you get a car, and you get a car, and you get a car!')..... ok cool, if so then can you please reward the person
with a clean record? A new reputation? Freedom from whomever or
whoever are deciding the rewards or even building that system? Cause
it’s too much that... do they do that for diabetics? For people with
hypertension? Haha and do the people that have both addiction and
hypertension get double? Or is that only if it’s idiopathic
hypertension? I dunno- are the people told that they will be rewarded or
that said system exists? Because it would be unethical if not. Just
saying... the rewards system would be set up by an unbiased party or
would it be someone they know?.... it is all relevant. Unethical would
be the key word. Now if they know... and publishing it in the paper
isn’t enough. You actually would have to let every individual know,
individually and consent would need to be obtained. Just saying.
Oh
and I got it... so back in the day there wasn’t such mass
communication. So if you owned stocks you were in the know about the
split... but if not then you got a $2 bill in the mail? That’s what I
heard happened...who knows though.
Girl I’m about to queen out right now over how good the lightening version of music 
is v the kind w the cord. Omg! Thanks Apple!
