The only reason people like HondaRacer complain is because the drop off of what is "middle class" and lower has been like a CLIFF in modern times compared to a few stairs down like it was when we were growing up in the 1980's and 1990's. To people like HondaRacer, it feels wrong.

Having hit rock bottom and then tumbled down an elevator shaft to yet another fake rock bottom myself, I ended up renting the basement at rock bottom and then having to use a soup kitchen a couple of times. More out of curiousity as I could have begged my baby momma and her rich family for money, but I wanted the full meal deal of hitting zero with my middle finger raised...

When you go to AA meetings and experience a soup kitchen multiple times to get to know the regulars and if you dress shitty enough that they let you into their world (hint: I have all of my teeth still so totally broke people immediately think I'm a cop or something) you get to learn that life at the bottom is beyond fucked and people get mentally programmed to be fucked by society around them. None of those people can envision a way out of their circumstances. It makes sense for them to think and vote certain ways.

What I'm trying to say is, places like the DTES are self-healing structures, because if 10 people die tomorrow, a fresh scab of 10 new lost souls is immediately plugged in to soak up the resources, use the drugs, and require the management by the poverty pimps getting countless millions and millions of fiat currency dollars just to manage the conveyor belt of death for misfits. That's what the DTES is, in plain sight, but Canada is a polite place and we don't know how to handle the "remainer of the Canadian equation" without fentanyl-assistance.

As a human being, you're not really supposed to ask questions of how society functions, you're only supposed to vote for someone who promises to fix the threatening things immediately visible to you... FUCK TRUMP ELBOWS UP!!!
