THOSE POOR, POOR HOMELESS! Hear the story about two people who just can't figure out how this happened to them...but Tom can! Unless you're mentally ill, didn't you play at least some part in your ending up living in Tent City? Tom lays it on the line!

Here is the Washington Post article to which Tom refers in this episode.

What's your opinion? Tom wants to know: tom@blowmeuptom.com.

I agree…...help with the mentally ill & kick the slackers with a boot.
I live near Seattle and its turned into a dump...………..allowing homeless to pitch their tents in parks & playfields where kids play

Where are our elected officials in all of this...……….they say everything is fine ….AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Homelessness is supposed to suck. It motivates people not to be homeless. I really hate it when people get this victim mentality and everything in life just HAPPENS to them. Like they're robots and have no personal agency. Its fucking stupid.

The more homeless "outreach" programs, more shelters, more hand-outs -- all this shit just encourages homeless fuckers. That's why California has something like 25% of the USA homeless population residing there. And no, it isn't because of the state's size. This is a stat normalized on a population basis.

There's a reason you're seeing medieval diseases like dysentery and hepatitis spring up in the "give-them-everything" cities like SanFranshitsco. The gov't hasn't learned yet they're fueling the problem. Personally I'd get the hell out of that state before CALPERS and the rest of the mismanaged crap implodes.

Just sayin'

These guys might be a little bit mentally ill. The kind of mental gymnastics you got to do to make such horrible decisions. Insisting on having a pet when they could barely fend for themselves. Being picky about the kind of help they would accept? When you need help you take what you can get and if you need to do something to get accepted you do it. Personal accountability needs to make a comeback it's severely lacking
