Getting Short
The fire that was threatening our furniture (and my MANUSCRIPTS) has been officially classified as under control. There's one worry put to rest. The home that we've been waiting to move into is slowly nearing completion. The water and electricity are both working now and the exterior of the building is finished and awaiting the stairways. All that remains is to finish and clea

Happy #Newstodon Friday, a day to celebrate the best #journalism in the #fediverse!

“This isn’t just a question of us getting out of some individual ticket. The law itself has to be overturned.”

Today, let's revisit Michelle Pitcher's story on the legal fight against an unjust (and maybe, unconstitutional?) law that bans feeding people in certain places in #Houston. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-food-not-bombs-trial/

“In a household, you literally have to have like maybe two or three people with the #income to be able to survive, to be able to pay #mortgage, to be able to buy groceries, to be able to pay for gas, #childcare.” “This is not just hotel workers. These are not just city employees. This is everywhere where big companies are making more profits than actually taking care of their people.”

were the police state -- i mean, america, to do something like the vancouver project giving #homeless folk money, it would be very limited in time, there would be a massive shipton of conditions, including allowing program personnel unannounced entry to the rental and searches and drugs tests at any time by personnel and police without notice and complete waiver of renters' rights.

because that's the way it has always been.

There's radical self-reliance for the privileged and the under-privileged in the #usa ... The homeless are brave to me; burners less so

I've now been #homeless for 4 months... I've been through a lot in a short time
It was kind of a cool adventure at first, and then it really got me down for a while, and now I'm kinda just existing
It's not always all bad, but it is always lonely. There are endless reminders that I'm not wanted anywhere. Just existing without a fixed address makes you trash
I just want to get a job and maybe fix my school situation to finish my degree. I'm going to a job fair later today

Dans la série, nos scientifiques sont des génies, une étude canadienne prouve que donner de l'argent aux SDF les sort de la misère.Ils assurent leur sécurité en terme de logement, de bouffe, bref ils prennent soin d'eux.Ils ont exclus de l'étude sciemment les toxicos, les SDF avec des problèmes psy.
On peut se dire que ça donne un gage scientifique à une donnée factuelle, avoir du fric dans une société capitaliste te permet de vivre.

“The study, though small, offers a counter to the myths that people who become poor get that way because they’re bad at rational decision-making and self-control, and are thus intrinsically to blame for their situation, and that people getting free money will blow it on frivolous things or addictive substances.”

"The apartment project is designed to provide people who were formerly #incarcerated or #homeless with low-cost #transitionalhousing as well as education and job training opportunities...Rent for the four-bedroom units would cost $600 a month per person while the studio and one-bedroom units would be slightly more expensive and available to people as they start to earn more money. While living at the apartment, residents would have access to free transportation to and from work, job training and education programs and financial literacy programs.."

How many of these studies need to be conducted? It’s the same study, same results, every single time. It doesn’t matter the region, country, or general makeup of the #poverty survivors participating, giving poor people cash without strings attached results in reduced poverty and improved quality of life for the entire community because #povertysurvivors are able to find a place to live, pay their bills, and pursue education, work, etc.
