Podgajski··on Homelessness reaches highest reported level in the U.S. in 2023
There’s tons of empty malls that the government can buy right now and at least they could let people living in their cars park there. I mean they won’t even do that. They won’t even ban making it illegal to live in your car in this country.

I’m homeless and have schizoaffective bipolar disorder. I haven’t been able to see a regular psychiatrist or therapist since Covid started. A lot of my therapist were taken over by people suffering from dealing with the lockdowns. should they have really been the priority?

My homelessness exacerbates my mental illness, not only because of the stress of living out of a van but also the inability to have consistent healthcare being that I have to drive to warmer temperatures or cooler temperatures depending on the season.

And the treatments for psychiatric diseases are still stuck back about 50 years. I’ve had to run my own genetics and do my own research to find out what would help me. I mostly done it no help to any doctor or physician or psychiatrist.

Many people act like homeless people don’t want to get better, but I’m doing everything I can and no one is helping me absolutely no one. Psychiatrist who take Medicare have zero investigative initiative and psychiatric awards are for profit hotels for the mentally ill.

If anyone has a positive view of this country and the goodness of the people of this country, I want to dissuade you of that notion.

I am currently parking at Walmart in Palm Springs, California. The amount of wealth I see driving around me in vehicles alone could end homelessness in this country.

Reading that article would be a start. They could also expand section 8 housing. They could also get rid of the countless nonprofits that siphon money away from the homeless. They could tie Social Security cola adjustments more towards housing and rental prices.

They Institute Medicare for all. They could ban the emptying of large amounts of houses by financial capital firms. Which they are already doing sort of. They could end Airbnb. They could ban making it illegal to sleep in a car or sleep on the street.

Or they can just really care.

I could go on, but again this is not a problem of not having the money, I mean we’re supporting two useless wars right now. This is a problem of people not caring or caring for the wrong things.

The economy is doing stellar for the upper classes which account for maybe 10 to 15% of the population. That’s the so-called disconnect that the Biden administration doesn’t understand.

But the economy in general is not doing stellar, regardless. This bifurcation of wealth is going to lead, or is at least a marker, of an instability in the system. The fact that the Fed just decided that they’re looking at lowering interest rates means that they can’t lower inflation because the stock market and housing prices will crash. Housing prices increase because money printing increased.

Yes, there has. It’s not that hard, they just need houses. Which means they need a population that cares. So this is not a physical matter, it’s a spiritual matter. It’s a matter of the heart.

I’ve never met someone who wanted to be homeless, I met people who didn’t want to live in substandard housing because homelessness was better, but I never met someone who wanted to be homeless. Give anyone of these homeless people $1 million house and I guarantee you they willwant to live in it.

“But the economy is doing great!!!”

Let me tell you, the economy isn’t doing great for people like me. I’m permanently disabled and lost my housing at the beginning of Covid, and I haven’t been able to acquire housing since. For the last three years I’ve been living in a 2001 minivan. Now I’m seeing costs everything go up and the COKA adjustment for Social Security isn’t quite doing it.

Mark my words, were going to have a different party running the country next year. The Democrats have failed people like me, the people that used to be their base, and instead favored the corporate class who allowed the financial capitalist to buy up All the homes so they can rent them at outrageous prices.

Yes, same story for me. But I got out of it in 1999. I seem to have mentally foreseen the crash coming and it portrayed itself as a mood disorder.

I know many of you will disagree with me on this, but I also think a large problem is the increase in both extremely low frequency, and radio frequency, electromagnetic fields.

No one can tell me that the bloody nose I get whenever I use laptops that emit high levels of low frequency electromagnetic radiation is psychosomatic.

How do you become someone people can visibly see as a person of trust in a society like this?

I know religion doesn’t do it, that’s for sure. The only thing I can think of is some kind of authenticity.

I could also see government agencies using this to frame people for crimes they do not commit.

Podgajski··on The biggest root cause of crime is fatherlessness
I know, right? It’s bold to say that not focusing on materialism as the route to happiness could mean that people in poverty might not suffer as much.
Podgajski··on The biggest root cause of crime is fatherlessness
Because most people who seem wealthy have a lot of money issues as well. And divorce is not only caused by poverty. For example, Christianity looks down on divorce and there are fewer Christians in the US.

But this proves the lead point that fatherlessness does not cause crime, poverty does.

Podgajski··on The biggest root cause of crime is fatherlessness
In the world where everyone’s racing to get more money, it’s amazing that people can still think money doesn’t matter.

“Wealth may increase marital stability through its material value, providing couples with economic resources they can use to improve their marital quality, thereby lowering their divorce risk.”

Podgajski··on The biggest root cause of crime is fatherlessness
If you ever been poor, you don’t understand the stress that money puts on a relationship. And that’s just to start with. Poverty also increases stress which increases a likeliness to use drugs to combat the stress. Also, as other people pointed out, it’s most times more economic feasible for people in poverty not to get married because they would be penalized by getting married.

Poverty causes stress and stress causes aberrant behavior.

I might qualify this to say that poverty without spirituality causes fatherlessness.

Podgajski··on The biggest root cause of crime is fatherlessness
It’s not that the own a jet, it’s the fact that financial capitalism extracts money from people through rentier economics that enable them to make such exorbitant profits so they can afford to buy a jet.

And poverty is the biggest root cause of fatherlessness.
Podgajski··on How did Christianity change the Roman Empire?
Thank you for agreeing with me?
Podgajski··on How did Christianity change the Roman Empire?
I have a bachelors of science in history. Have you ever read Howard Zinn’s of peoples history of the United States? You should.
Podgajski··on How did Christianity change the Roman Empire?
I’m not confusing anything. I’m clarifying because statements like this article make it seem like Christianity is the problem and not the people.

When Saint Francis was told by God to “rebuild the church“ the message was that the church was decaying from within.

my point is that the article states that Christianity did so-and-so. My rebuke is that to say that it was Christianity was like saying that it was a teachings of Christ that led to the persecution.

All I’m doing is adding clarification because the church right now has enough evil in it to go around and not focusing on the good but focusing on the evil only destroys the goodness of the church.

Podgajski··on How did Christianity change the Roman Empire?
I am homeless. America didn’t cause my homelessness, people did. You didn’t cause my homelessness, well, maybe you didn’t or probably you didn’t.

You see, I judge people, not religions, or philosophies or ways of life. Because a religion can hold a varying type of people, even people who can act in ways that are 180° Different from what a religion states.

Christians follow Christ. To follow Christ to act like Christ. It’s that simple.

Podgajski··on How did Christianity change the Roman Empire?
Christianity didn’t do anything that article states.

People did.

It is safe to say that what the Christians of Rome did to the pagans was not Christianity and was not an act of Christ.

Podgajski··on Nebula Genomics – First to offer consumer anonymous sequencing
This coming from someone who is obviously using the Internet and a computer…
Podgajski··on Nebula Genomics – First to offer consumer anonymous sequencing
I was the same way. I have a genetic condition in my family of unknown origin and the risk of anything happening. My genetics outweighed the possibility, and what turned out to be the evidence of what my even partial genome could uncover.

Unfortunately, I was the only one in my family who understood this and the rest were too afraid to get the test done even though people in my family have died of this disease.

A few years ago I tried to get my full genome from nebula but they messed up my order really badly and it took over a year to get my money back. But it looks like they might be cleaning up their act and the $250 price is really tempting.

Since our disorder is polygenic, there’s still a lot of questions I have so I’m probably going to get a nebula run as well.

This is why I also have my signal set for automatically disappearing messages. I want you all to try to delete your messages if you have iCloud turned on. It’s impossible and if you managed to do it they’re stuck on the server for 30 days. Apple is a spy service.
Podgajski··on Apple cuts off Beeper Mini's access
not only does the hacker spirit use Signal, but they tell people that’s the only way they want to communicate. At least that’s what I do. It forced my friends to install Signal because of it six more people are using Signal.

People who contact me over SMS get an immediate phone call from me in response.
