Fair & Balanced
The last 2 weeks I have traveled to Minneapolis, and Indianapolis for work. To use the word shock is an understatement, I was mortified at what I saw in the streets walking to and from my hotel. I was in Indy staying around Lucas Oil Field and during the day I saw people laying on the sidewalk who at first I thought were dead. I walked through an underpass and it was like a small city. Almost every corner downtown people are sitting there. My wife was with me in Indy and she withdrew 200 dollars of 5s and we gave them to anyone who asked. I talked to a few older women at the underpass and they were desperate. This is in the middle of the downtown district.
To put it mildly Minneapolis was much worse. Both are worse than I have ever seen in Detroit. And these cities are not even in the same league as Seattle and LA when it comes to people on the streets. LA has over 50K, 100K if you count surrounding areas. Seattle is growing by the day.
Why do candidate's continue to talk border, border, border and migrants when we have hundreds of thousands of our own citizens suffering, living and sleeping in filth on concrete in cities that is never mentioned?
Why is this huge people problem not an issue? Should it be? Nobody ever talks about it. Nobody cares? I would vote for the candidate that would try and take this one because it is only getting worse and seeing it up close and first hand made me physically ill.
Can this be fixed?
I certainly don`t have the answers but would like to hear some thoughts.
