The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Homelessness in California, contrary to what some reports claim, is a national problem.

You need to look to find reporting about it. Seems to be a lot of fraud going on in the program in Cali, like real estate developers and contractors taking big piles of money for projects like renovating old motels into housing units, and not delivering the housing as contracted.

California homeless crisis: DOJ accuses real estate developers of $50M funding fraud

As part of a special federal task force investigating where a staggering $24 billion designated for homelessness in California has ended up, the Department of Justice revealed initial findings on Thursday, announcing new criminal cases against two LA area real estate developers who the federal government says misused roughly $50 million in a combination of federal, state and local dollars earmarked for homelessness.

But the "main stream media" doesn't seem to be interested in rich "JCs" robbing the government. They only seem to be interested in "foreign, Muslim, non-white, Somalis" robbing the government.
