Not any more. And its depressing.
I see, every day, homeless people walking so slowly down the alley I live in, trudging along, stopping to look in big trash bins either looking for cans and bottles or something possibly to eat. Big huge bags slung over their shoulders, holding all that they own. Some, pushing grocery carts with all they own. Except those carts get taken away from them eventually.
It's sad. This is America. Homeless people everywhere. Veterans struggling. Citizens struggling. Rats begging for food when people that have money dine in a patio or even inside an eatery. Water scarce unless you have money. Heck, I watered down the front patio to cool it off (it's 102 so far..supposed to get hotter this next week), and a butterfly sat on my door mat sucking water out of it that I just hosed. Couple of bees were hanging on to the rim of the water bowl I keep outside for the possums, feral cats, and whatever else needs a drink.
Now imagine a homeless person trying to do the same thing.
What happened? Was it always this bad or is it only recently that the USA became a 3rd world country?
