But how likely is it that however broad your personal experience is, it covers everyone who is in this sort of situation?

If I'm only right 99% of the time, that's fine with me. If I needed 100% certainty to say things, I'd never be able to say anything about anything.

I have never seen any European city with American-style homeless people being aggressive.

Because the Euros arrest their asses. Democrats refuse to do that.

Go ahead and LARP as a "crazy homeless person" in any big Euro city & watch how fast the cops get on you. Republicans do this in the US. Democrats do not because ideologically they need to worship the homeless & use them as some kind of statement against capitalism. You only see this rampant homeless shit in the deepest blue cities.

And it has gotten MUCH worse since I was younger. You basically didn't see this at all in the 80s or 90s. Maybe a smaller amount in the 00s, then it exploded together with all the rest of the libtard insanity that hit America in the last 10-15 years.

Like what? $300 a month in welfare checks if he has a kid? That's not even enough to cover health insurance.

LOL dude California pays $200/mo in food stamps alone. Medi-Cal is 100% free health care for all poors. There are tons of other government gibs. You get a lot more if you have kids, but even single men get plenty.

And if you're a veteran? Holy shit do the floodgates open. You can get disability for life even if you're not actually disabled & even if you have a job. It's a total scam.
