Solving homelessness isn't as easy as you might think, comment your thoughts down below
Tell him to go live out in the woods for a month guarantee he goes mad
Parenting should require a license and a probationary period before you're allowed to conceive or adopt. Your personality and temperament matters more than your income, religion, or race.
I have always believed it is not hard at all.
As he said it's drug addiction, mental health from past trauma childhood.
So first thing you fix is healing their past mental trauma. Easy.
Faster EFT tapping.
After that is fixed then they can make positive steps to getting a job, house.
If you start saying "we" instead of "they" your observations and opinions might be considered more valid; it's just a long way of saying nobody needs to change and everything is fine the way it is until it becomes inconvenient for you.
Also "mental health care and addiction treatment is expensive" speaks to the cultural normalization of health care for profit industry, which affects everyone and puts many more demographics of people at risk than the ones that are *already* homeless.
We should start calling them the hopeless so we’ll all stop deluding ourselves into thinking we can save them.
“It’s easier to raise strong children then to fix broken men” - Fredrick Douglas
There is such a thing as too strict and controlling.
@@ZoeyTG if you don’t understand what’s being said then you never will
@@tkong6465 Can only understand it through my filters.
That completely disregards the second point he made, mental health problems. But sure, by all means, simplify life down to one or two quotes so you can feel better about how you are positioned in life compared to others. Your comment illustrates zero empathy. People like you are a big part of the problem.
@@Ozhull simplicity? How is being a good parent simple … 99% of these people had shitty childhoods so having a good home with parents is simplifying things ? You can’t fix mental trauma so maybe as a society if we raised stronger people aka be good parents and not be shit heads to kids this would happen less… Jesus Christ I don’t live my life like this is a code or some shit just stfu
I’ve been watching SWU for years. My ex was a heroin & fentanyl addict, I heard this quote once saying “Nothing will screw you up more than being associated with a drug addict. You can’t save them, but they can sure as hell destroy you - and they will”… being with someone (or a loved one) in active addiction is the most heart breaking thing and So difficult to come to terms with. I’m glad there are people like Mark who recognize societal issues like homelessness, drug addiction, & mental health AND connect the dots between all three. I believe one person can make a difference and he is shedding light on so many subjects people don’t feel comfortable talking about. His content does not fall on deaf ears, keep up the good work 🙏🏼
I feel you, when you are in a relationship or married to a drug addict. What you said really hit home for me
Been following Mark's channel for awhile now. The metaphor to Soft White Underbelly really proves things arent always what they seem, until you peel back the layers you see what's really going on underneath. I think Mark's mission is for us as people to see these layers, and understand the "junkie" or "mentally ill homeless person" you see on a daily basis has a life and a story behind the stuggle. Listening to the stories of so many broken people that have come thru his studio is eye opening. I encourage you to watch his videos and listen to the stories of these people, understand their struggle. Theres alot to learn and more than meets the eye. You can get involved and help with every person that comes thru that seat.
Imagine millions of us understanding the brokeness and black eyes of each other, showing empathy to each others struggles, and showing love and compassion to see change.
That's simply not human nature, and we are all too human. That utopia will never exist.
@@Jthom88 this is just an excuse not to do the mental work
@@TheRealVorynDagoth I mean, you're not wrong, I don't disagree with you. But most human beings are (unfortunately) unmotivated, undisciplined, and unskilled, and are not in environments or circumstances which foster the improvement of any of these important factors.
So, while I can agree with the sentiment you're expressing in an ideal sense, I think what you're talking about is extremely difficult and complex to the point of impracticality. It's not to say that we shouldn't try, but I think it's also important not to be naive about expectations given the biological and psychological facts of human nature. Hope that clarifies.
@@Jthom88 yes i agree ….. A compassionate person can know everything about a loser and not be able to help them up …… let’s all go to Sugar rock Candy Mountain
Mark, you are 100% bang on about your body hurting due to stress. I was in a very stressful marriage for 10 years and the pain I was in was unbearable. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and everything else, and was on every type of pain medication there is. I divorced the guy and after 2 years I have absolutely no pain. Your body is definitely telling you something.
Oh wow, I had a similar experience. I have a condition that can cause some pain and it's pretty manageable, but while I was living with someone who was quite emotionally reactive and triggering for me I had pain everyday. When I moved out the pain was gone in a day. I'm glad you're doing so much better!
If you remember Amanda from his videos, she did several interviews and she eventually died. Mike fucked up big time there, its too long to explain here but there is a lot about it on UA-cam
@@brianmay7111 not his fault. she chose to die. simple as that.
@@funnycatvideos5490 Although I literally said this in the previous comment, I guess I need to be more specific. Go watch a video on youtube made by a channel called 'BJ Investigates' and then tell me if she chose to die. She did not die of an overdose. Just watch the video, there are a lot of them from different channels too. It's pretty messed up.
@@funnycatvideos5490 Also if by any chance you think addicts like her choose to die, then you need to do research on that as well before voicing an opinion. I am not saying that you think that btw, I am saying IF you thought that, just to be clear.
I ended up homeless after divorce court took everything destroyed my credit couldn't even show rental history because the house was in her name the system is fucked! I considered doing heavy drugs just to check out I didn't thank goodness I don't even like pot! Everyone on the bottom is taking advantage of everyone else I'm not talking homeless just poor bad credit is robbing Everyone else, getting out once you're down there is really difficult!! I have a 118 iq a good carpenter and the system is screwed up I'm supposed to at 44 with nothing claim bankruptcy rebuild my credit while being charged rent that's twice what someone with a home is paying it's straight fucked!
Exactly, joe doesn’t like charity workers earning a living to help people, yet he charges 100k to show up at the comedy store drunk and high. The hypocrisy is real
Every middle school in this country should be showing his videos
I have the same "problem" as Mark...people tell me stuff and quite often I don't want to hear it. I think it's because when you are interested in peoples stories they feel it and as soon as they start and you are quietly listening, the flood gates open up.
Hi Joe....The interviews with this fellow are some of your best! Thank you.
I am a homeless man. I smoke weed maybe twice a month because therapy and legal medications since I was a child, never worked. I am also employed. I have no police record. Because I dont have rent to pay, I have plenty of money saved. I have made friends with plenty of legit homeless on my home, San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County lines. This guy isnt completely wrong, but I had to make a point, he said, "even if they say they're sober, they're not." You dont know every human.
doubt it
@@dachad9507 Not worried about what you or anyone thinks. Happy new year, douche.
It doesn't matter. The challenge is not coming up with a solution that works for a small group of individuals, it's coming up with a solution that works for the majority of homeless people regardless of their individual circumstances. If the majority of people are lying about substance abuse, then you can't assume people are telling the truth when you're trying to help hundreds of thousands of people.
I chose putting my daughter in private school, BJJ, gymnastics, and more, instead of buying a house. We knew if we lived in an apartment we could afford to give my kid all the things that will put her in a position to succeed. It will be up to her to use all this, but seeing how bad life can be, even for kids with every opportunity to succeed, I am glad I did what I did.
I forget how said it, or exactly how it goes, but a quote I like and live by is, "I don't know what world my children will find, but I will prepare them for it." I'm sure whoever originally came up with is said it better. Good luck everyone!
Good man u did the right thing
You would be paying less if you had a mortgage than you would paying rent lol except all that money would be going towards owning a house not paying somebody else's bills. That somebody else being your landlord. My mortgage is a little more than half of what I would be paying rent on a home
@@brandonhinrichs4393 You don't know what you are talking about. If you were just trying to give me good advice, thank you, but you couldn't be more wrong. Haha.
You don't know where I live, so you can't know much about the current real estate market where I live, where I want to live, how much I have to put down on a property...There is no way you can know what you just said to be true. You just regurgitated some tired old crap I've heard people say my whole life, yet without knowing a lot about someone's situation, it's just something you can say to try and sound smart and make yourself feel better about being trapped in a crappy house that you owe the bank a ton of money for. haha.
@@brandonhinrichs4393 maybe you don’t live in the same market, it’s different everyone.
Putting a child in gymnastics was a mistake and is not doing right by a child.
Worked as a pipe layer and land surveyor for 10 years before I became homeless and was chasing the dragon the whole time. First attempt at rehab, not first at sobriety, I reconciled who my parents were. 2nd attempt, relationship with women. Finally I had to accept that I live in an evil country who lied to me about it's principle morals and expectations. Both in it's market and government. I'm sober today in a Winnebago. As long as I accept I'm funding unjust wars and organized pedophiles I lost faith in them and found it in Christ. Whatever religion it is you have to have faith in something if you want to stay sober.
The central banking slave system is real my friend . Dont let them break you though. Stick with it and spread the truth little bitty pieces at a time to others
Good
Orderly
Direction
@@internetconnection9290If it is so bad, leave. Nobody is making you stay here.
Right on brother
I was the victim of a Mormon pedophile priest.
I found Mark's channel a couple years ago and he does sucha good job. it's easy to have quick assumptions and dismiss people. it's difficult to listen and try to understand without getting angry with some of this content. i try to do this everyday just at a much smaller scale, and try to understand the person rather than trying to work out my feelings trying to understand someone and it's helped me alot. some of the things he gets people to be vulnerable about and share really hit me deep. they are all people that have lived a different life than me
You see how he really talks about the addicts he films and benefits by. To their faces he acts supportive..suddenly I can't stand Marc. I just unsubscribed from his channel.
Good move. You are one of the few who see there is just something off about him.
It starts in elementary school. Support. Education. Mental health awareness. The family is no longer reliable to provide and teach the skills needed for success. It’s so sad but true.
This guy has a heart of gold. Been watching his stuff for years. He opened my eyes to drug issues and homeless problems. As the product of a child who's parents were homeless, he really hits the nail on the head.
"these people's unfortunate condition is always their own choice, and it's impossible to help them, and the safest thing to do is never associate with them"
Heart of gold.
@@bradthunderpants3283 My grandparents were the people you see in these videos. He's not wrong when he says they are helpless. But bringing the issue to light is always a positive. He has pure intentions. Even if not everyone can see it!
Marc kinda gets it…
But stops halfway through
Over twenty years ago in my late teens I worked part time on reception in a variety of NHS health centres in Central London. One of them use to have a weekly walk in clinic for homeless individuals.
I found that most of the patients wanting to start conversations with me as they probably very rarely spoke to anyone else.
I found out how they became homeless which for most of them happened very quickly, All suffered from a trauma and a lot of when once held high paying jobs.
My favorite person that Mark has interviewed is Jerry, a gunshot victim, who had an outlook on life that was amazing. When I think my day is going bad, I think of Jerry, and how he was so positive regardless of his situation.
The truth hurts.. but that's when you need to listen the most!
Finland is the only country is Europe that has a decreasing homeless population, and is sustaining that, by giving the homeless homes. It's a little more complicated than that, but it is a solution that works.
Something about his comment about how he doesn't have ANY vices kinda worries me a bit.. the way he looked away when answering and his slight stumble makes me feel like he does have something he doesn't want us to know about..
Precisely. He is just as broken as the people he interviews. Sadly only few see through him. His comment section is chock full of exhalation of his virtues from people I can only guess are looking through rose colored glasses. Let’s have his ex wife interview and photograph him for SWU. That video would get monetized by you tube. There are many moments when he is interviewing sex workers that are totally cringe worthy. No human warmth in the least.
Exactly and goes on the mentioned pedophiles ALOT. Everyone has a vice and if they say they don't it's usually the more disturbing type like Pedophilia!
@@tigress725yes!!!!
There's something fishy about this guy
Yeah, I think the same.. I've probably watched 30+ interviews on his channel and I keep thinking the same thing.. "There is something strange with this guy... I can't explain it..."
Yaaas
Yep gives odd American Pyscho vibes. Predator vibes as well. He masks well but I can tell there's no true compassion.
He's a legend in his own mind
He is not typically humble, but I don't think that must be a bad thing. He earned the social right to not be humble
Precisely
To be fair, the homeless who are drawn to Skid Row are going to be the worst kind of homeless. Non-addict homeless (disabled, “runaway” teens, and abused wives) don’t go there.
I mean they don't go there... right away
@@kingbernie4303 No, they don't go there period. Stop rationalizing your own tendancies. Not everyone values getting high over survival there tweek. Thats on you.
@@jamesbaker3153 What the hell are you talking about? are you saying I'm a homeless tweaker? Had no idea I had the tendency to... eventually go to skid row 🤷♂
He's very good at motivational interviewing. I would interview people as a probation officer and giving off an authoritarian attitude got me nowhere. Once I put the authoritarian bullshit aside and allowed them to express themselves, they'll tell you their world.
we have no money, time, honesty to fix a pot hole down the street, how on earth are we gonna fix a human soul
There is a great documentary from HBO where they gave a homeless man $100,000. He spent it in a couple months and was no better off than before.
What is it called?
@@casy6203 in the America Undercover series.
It's funny how people demonize weed but alcohol, it's cool. Propaganda is great.
He is exactly right about homelessness is people have never received love direction guidance They literally have no chance..There is no substitute for good parenting parenting is the most important job in this world. You are training the next generation and if you screw it up they are scarred
Schizophrenia and other extremely severe mental illness are caused by bad parenting?
@@stevenkidd6761 Of course not that’s the mental issues …I’m talking about the rest of the homeless
how do pedophiles get out of prison so easily? He did that to his daughter from 6 to 14. Her life will be so hard to navigate because of his grotesque needs, and he gets out. How the hell does that happen?
Been watching SWU and Mark's interviews for a couple of years. Thank you, Mark.
This is all true. But, you can't deny the rising cost of housing that likely puts them on the street in the first place.
A lot of drug addicts started their journey smoking pot.
But they almost ALL smoke cigarettes...Again,something that has been disproven time and again.
@@soullesshonky1707 Smoking too many cigarettes doesn't make your life unmanageable. You might get cancer.
I’m conflicted about this guy: he lives in pacific palisades and must make money from his UA-cam channel - he’s exploiting these people for profit.
He seems to feel the homeless situation is hopeless and he doesn’t seen to be involved in any charity work to help their situation.
I'm kinda in the same boat, but for other reasons. I'd imagine he made his money in the advertising career, and his current show isn't what bought him that house.
Watch his channel. Old and new interviews. He’s done a lot of good and he’s not having fun. Some good comes out of it.
I feel the same. There are very few who call him out when he’s creepin on select women ( usually prostitutes) by being inappropriate in his questions and comments while interviewing. His work has value , though I just feel he needs long term therapy. Warmth and intimacy are lacking. I am one of few who come forth and express that their is something off about Mark.
All his videos get demonetized as of now, you don’t make money from demonetized videos
@@tigress725 yea he has one video with a child prostitute that was really frustrating. It was very accusatory
❤ hopefully joe had mark on a bunch, would love to hear more from mark. the tools mark would have from his experiences must be amazing 👌 ❤ 🐾
Acupuncture will give a lot of relief of mental and physical stress! I have Complex PTSD and it helps!
YOU our #1 Money Maker.. We Definitely Need u .. Keep Working Bichhhh And bringing US THAT MONEY..TRICK...LA GANGS..
I dont feel all these problems come from always broken families. How many times have you heard an addict say they came from a great upbringing. It doesnt discriminate.
You guys keep saying having a man in the home. But if you read Angela’s Ashes or Dolly Parton autobiography it’s not any man.
It’s a non addictive or physically abusive, no mental health issues, emotionally connected and mature man.
One that’s not consumed by his sexual kinks, or addicted to porn or on the DL and want a committed long term monogamous relationship because they understand fundamentally that it’s good for society.
Those men are few and far between.
Monogamy is quite sparse in the natural world, human men included.
@@josephgriffin2388 True, but not really relevant to the original comment. Of course monogamy- a human construct- is rare in nature.
no, most men are at least decent fathers. non are perfect. but the vast majority give their kids a chance.
Those arent men. Those are boys in adult bodies.
So right. Had both my parents growing up. But our father used to kick us around the house, beat us for no reason at all, or any excuse. Specially when drunk. I struggled with alcoholism. And homelessness for a period of time. Two brothers who struggle with substance abuse. I sometimes wonder if things would be different if we hadn't had a father
Biggest part of putting up all of these resources and handouts is the more you provide, the more homeless show up. It's just like the saying goes, if you stand for nothing you will fall for everything. The reason california has such a problem is because the word travels that these dug addicts can make an actual living off of the resources provided by tax payers and people flock. Same thing with austin here in Texas. People can beg for money and make $200 a day. Why would you work?
Joe saw ONE time that people that work with the homeless also take a salary….and he never forgot it. Meanwhile he gets 100k to show up and get drunk at a comedy show..🤷🏻. The outrage! 😂😂
No solutions offered here
Want a solution? Invent a time machine. Drug abuse, mental illness, homeless permanently alter people’s lives. Can’t make up for lost time, or normal development.
that's because there really are none. it starts with personal responsibility and good parenting. you can't save grown adults who are stuck in their ways and accustomed to a certain lifestyle
@@robynreeeee not to mention that so many seem to think that the sort of parenting that causes this nightmare is the solution to it. A generation of parenting got us to this point, we need to change. The traditions and ways of the past are how we got here. Conserving those values will only bring more heartache.
Proper premium nutrition for mental health…NOT the American standard diet.
Thank you for this video
It all comes back to poverty. All these symptoms come back to chronic, generational poverty. We can either spend the money on the front end, buy the homes, pay for the rehab and mental health services or pay three times that amount on street crime and prisons on the back end.
The cycle continues.. The only way to avoid this having better after-school programs. Keep the kids occupied. Once you let them roam the streets they are most likely getting arrested and become homeless.
"The west coast, for some reason, has a lot of it"
Not too bright if you can't figure it out.
Like cities literally shipping people here? Guess thats probably not what you were talking about. The poorest areas still in the ALL red south.
@@soullesshonky1707 Give me a break. The entire west coast (actually, just the liberal cities) declare themselves "illegal safe places", and then bitch when they get them? Texas didn't ask for this problem, it's happening because of Biden and his 'woke' administration. You think the southern border towns should just absorb all the cost and deal with it? Absolutely brilliant.
And here's another fact for you. The south (and Appalachias) may have a lot of poor folk, mainly due to poor locations for business to thrive, but they absolutely do NOT have the homeless problem that this conversation is about. Try and figure out why, if you can do some basic common sense thinking.
@@calvin99991 Most of the homeless here are NOT from here. You come,or get shipped to a city where you dont know anyone,no family and the rent is high,because its nice here,what do you think is going to happen? I spent a year in Sioux Falls,super conservative,and 25% of the people were on food stamps and people sleeping in the school yards and such,and that was 10 years ago. And i never said anything about borders or anything. And we ALL absorb that thru a thing called federal taxes. We through out the R senator that was hiring illegals. Go after the ones that hire them,too.
@@soullesshonky1707 Of course it's a complicated issue, but drugs and mental stability are the two biggest factors in homelessness, then throw millions of illegal aliens into the mix. Think it's gonna get any better? Where do the drugs come from? The border.
There may be bad players on both sides of the political isle, but nobody in their right mind can state that it isn't getting worse under these current border policies. And it will continue to.
Education is key. And a family that instills values.Anybody can educate themselves here.
where can i find the entire episode?

I get where Mark is coming from but plenty of people would rather just move the homeless to somewhere they can't see than deal with the problem. Presenting the problem as so complicated only furthers people's belief that they can do anything about it. Getting people indoor plumbing and a bed is the very first baby step.
He's a special man . 😍😍
No such thing.
Who needs serious therapy as he clearly doesn’t know himself if you pay attention. Only few can see through him as he has millions exalting him. I won’t be surprised if he gets exposed and I see him on the evening news for being just as broken as his interviewees.
Joe Rogan is wearing a Colter Wall shirt!!!! How cool is that!?!?!?
Here's the thing I have a problem with. I don't doubt he's a good interviewer of people, and I genuinely feel like that is a skill that brings value to the world. However, just because he's spoken to many people doesn't mean that he's spoken to all of them and I don't think it's fair for him to make these sweeping generalizations like he is. He might understand a few individuals and their situations, but he doesn't understand the system that lead us as a country to this point. I think his comments here are harmful, so I disagree with this guy on a very fundamental level.
Yeah something was bothering me about his statements and you articulated exactly what bothered me.
He doesn't understand it but you do?
Patrick Bateman
People become victim of their environment where ever thay live.
Those use to be the extreme but bad situations were government created. So good luck on fixing the situation.
I manage and operate 3 business locations. Used to be festering with homeless. Loitering, scavanging, begging, sometimes assaulting guests / customers. The only reason they no longer come to these properties is because they know they will be shot. They don't care about anyone or anytjing including themselves. Do not feel bad about homelessness and dont lose any sleep over it.
My sister in law works as a social worker and she constantly tells my brother stories about how she'll set them up with job opportunities and free housing but once it's time for them to leave, they'll purposely act crazy and throw a fit to disrupt the process so they can continue hanging out at her facility everyday and watch tv. A lot of homeless people are just lazy and shameless. This guy says that a lot of them come from broken families but what about people who had the same terrible upbringing and managed to overcome their challenges? This guy isn't helping solve homelessness. He's just making excuses and not holding them accountable so he can exploit their suffering for his own gain.
@@Codystandupyes he's said it before many times that he works to educate and understands he can't solve. The simplicity he shares is by looking at the analogy of "the layers." I know you would understand the effort if you listen more to SWU. Not just one podcast.
That's not entirely true drugs is a massive.. massive problem but its no where near 100% not even close, a large chuck of them are classed as working homeless as well..that's fully functional people simply unable to afford to live anywhere but on the street (if your living in your car your still homeless)
drug dependency and abuse will often follow not proceed homelessness as well which is a whole other issue.. a blanket statement of all homeless people are there because of drugs and mental health does the problem a massive disservice..
And its endemic of an American attitude that if your life goes wrong you've only yourself to blame...
Mark has one weakness, her name is Exotic 🎯 Truth 💯
Lol the type of video he does is typical in asia .
It's called Poverty porn exposing someones misery for their own gain in exchange for small couple of 💸
Wealthy middle class patrons used to walk sanitariums in the early 18th century as entertainment (haunted house vibes, exposure but institutional safety). Then by the end of the 18th century they stopped outwardly enjoying it and walked to "pity" the inmates. This stuff has been going on forever.
instead of giving everyone a million dollars, give everyone a billion dollars. i think that would work
hes right on we are all drug addicts so now what do you do when we dont want to get off the drugs that cause homelessness? but iv never been neglected or abused so thats bs but yah.
This guy has no idea what he's talking about, he has just read about it, he has never experienced it
Haha, he says "Im the same whether Im talking to a guy who slept with his daughter or the President." Oh, our President? The guy who was taking showers with his daughter? THAT guy? The irony is too funny.
He’s describing America, but most these young people still living off their parents 🤫
Laita is great.
Of course Marshall lives in Florida
Why are many war veterans homeless? In my opinion every veteran should have a place to stay.
Mark Laita it sounds like Finnish name r m right?
Respect!
He's INFJ. I am too.
This guy likes the sound of his own voice,,
Lost most credibility when he says all homeless people are drug addicts. Obviously a lot of them have issues with addiction, but that’s not fucking true at all to say it’s all of them. All that does is seek to dehumanize them.
Mark has exposed what's wrong with society. We fail many kids . We don't protect & support them as we should. It's $ , no one wants to spend what it would take to provide better support & possibly prevent creating damaged adults. It's not a child's fault that they have dysfunctional parents. But we make the kids suffer. I live in Canada, our ppl have Universal Health Care & kids get paid meds till age 21. But we too have failed. Wealthy nations need to do better. But it will never happen because the wealthy control the world and poor are just a nuisance.
High housing costs are the cause. Addiction and crime are symptoms.
@@davewalik44 Your insults aside, all those countries have comprehensive public housing assistance. And what creates that culture you speak of?
I would agree. I’ve never been arrested and I’ve never used drugs, but I have been homeless.
I think the first thing is the joblessness. No job = no money, no routine, no greater cause which leads to much time and then you start to overthink and get in a bad cycle ...
@@Meow3431 Having a meaningful job absolutely helps one's daily attitude.
@@markportnoy6290 so Tokyo has comprehensive public housing? Lived there 3 years. It’s one of the most expensive cities to live in and virtually zero crime or homelessness. The major elements of culture are symbols, language, norms, values, and artifacts. Any degradation to one of the five listed can have a profound impact on how a community treats its own. All 5 and you have Baltimore, LA, St Louis etc.
Yes San Fran is expensive and no doubt, people who work minimum wage jobs feel the weight of that. Hardship is one thing but blatant laziness and misuse of community support and resources is something completely different. You asked a question yet didn’t answer mine, have you been to any other city that has expensive housing? If yes, are there methadone clinics every street corner, tent camps, and fecal warning signs? Lol.
5:46 Hey guess what, you could do both of those at the same time if you just interviewed President Biden
The solution should be to give them as many drugs as they need
Joe continues to search for modern fixes to these horrible social problems. If we don’t get back to family and god centered lives this problem will never go away and continue to get worse.
Nope I don’t agree. Having a good social circle, family is what messes you up,most people that get abused are by close family member or coaches or youth pastors. It is very rarely a stranger on the street
jump cuts
That’s not true 1:30
Put them all on an island
yeah its going to cost alot for along time. the alternative is just yappin about it and how its awful but what are you going to do? just because its hard doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. its no different than trying to correct what we have done to our own planet. we let it happen maybe without realizing but now we know and we have to address and fix it. yeah, it cost alot.
Not all are there for addiction some are there with a twist of fate some are there because they had a good job high pay great house wife , kids then one day company makes cuts now you can't afford your rent so now the kids are going to a diffrent school not as good stress the parents are failing so soon no home their in shelters and then they want to numb out which can lead drugs & alcohol not all some keep trying and a lot don't get the happy ending and down there he says their trying to rip him off why he notice they stand out when up town he has the same type people just dress better and when they do it rip off people it's called business
He’s not an intervention type of show, people get no help and he makes lots of money on the demise of others. Judging them as con artists and hustlers. Go home!!!!!
If you start saying "we" instead of "they" your observations and opinions might be considered more valid; how you're putting it is just a long way of saying nobody needs to change and everything is fine the way it is until it becomes inconvenient for you personally then you'll throw up your hands and complain for someone else to do something about it while also complaining why hasn't anyone solved this before now.
Also "mental health care and addiction treatment is expensive" speaks to the normalization of health care for profit industry, which affects everyone and puts many more demographics of people at risk than the ones that are *already* homeless.
Mark is the man
They have brain damage and nervous system damage. That’s why they can’t function. with a healthy lifestyle you can heal your brain, body and God helps too
People simply refuse to address the fact that none of this was the norm before the liberalism of the '60's.
He say his "interview style is the same for ped with his own daughter or the President." I couldn't stop laughing,
Then he pays them soooo
Then you’ll have the lazy people becoming homeless on purpose to get a free ride.
"None of these people are down and out. That doesn't happen" looks at comments section.
Just tells me nobody cares about circumstances. Thier is a coldness here.
It basically all the stereotypes you hear.
"Homeless are the lowest of low and deserve to be thier"
Mark, you’re getting older 🤷♀️
No opportunity and no education. For getting the no accountability part. And laws that monetize the break up of the family unit.
1:11 this guy's 100% wrong. all this stuff that he's talking about that they supposedly don't know how to do? that is subservience to the system, and he thinks it's a virtue.
They talk about the race theory but I've seen more homeless white people 5han black..
People who say its complicated dont really want to do anything about it at all. Its just an excuse to say these people are hopeless. Note how he stops after he says "these people couldnt even go to an interview". And why would that be? Do you think any of these people have any real skills to afford them housing? Healthcare? Savings? He acts like these people are getting the same types of jobs he went for. It simply wont happen. They aren't gonna be able to pay rent working as a cashier at mcdonalds (in california? ROFL...housing is shit). Theyll just go back to doing drugs again. Like nobody wants to have real conversation about he inadequacies of capitalism to provide for everybodies needs. Its just swept under the carpet with feel good videos about people who claim to care and all they really do is run a youtube channel and write books. More useless talk and no action.
Upside down
You neglected to mention the unspeakable truth that many of the homeless folks have IQ"s below 85. They are literally incapable of learning. They are, however worthy of a humane response from the community (much like you would do for an abandoned dog) and need shelter, and food. Would this kind of response be expensive? Probably, but aid to Ukraine is pretty expensive too.
@@internetconnection9290 Like it or not, it's the most reliable indicator of ability that currently exists.
@@internetconnection9290 No problem. What metric would you suggest has more merit?
