Yea but you know how the youtube algorithm works, most of the comments here express no empathy for our fellow Americans, including many who served in the armed forces, and those comments drive more views. I'd like to think the majority of engagement is by those who truly wish to approach the problem at hand, but I get the impression that people just like looking down on others less fortunate. I hope I'm wrong. I agree he does give homeless a voice to tell their story, but the argument of exploitation of homeless to make money is also a fair one. Regardless I love GIV, just sucks that people like watching plight much more than happiness (according to view count).

      Me too, I've been homeless so many times.. Got a crappy job, it was paying work, was able to find a crappy place to live. After that, my living situations improved. There's always some place to rent. It might not have been the greatest but it was a roof over my head. I rented a room in the basement of a house on a hill which was good because that was on the first floor. Three of the walls were made of field stone. It was freezing. The house foundation made of giant rocks was right next to my bed. It came with a double hot plate and little refrigerator. I never had to leave the bed to make breakfast.

      I agree what money is supposed to go to the homeless ends up in a greedy government's pocket governors and politicians.. you become homeless for thousands of different reasons not just drugs and alcohol.. your house burns down your apartment burns down you lose your job because it goes to China.. you lose a family member that was making most of the money.. that's what happened to me my husband was killed in a car accident he was making all the money I've been floating around homeless in the state of Arkansas for almost 4 years right at the moment I have a roof over my head I'm not too sure for how much longer.. I don't drink smoke or do drugs and I haven't told to go to hell by a lot of services

      PJ Reactions, I was surprised to see the abuse heaped on Larry Elder as he attempted to visit Venice Beach. He may not agree with all opinions, but he respects everyone. It surprises me in 2021 that woke people attack someone because of the way they dress.
      If we must judge, let's judge the chick with the gorilla mask who threw eggs at Larry Elder. I judge her for her racism and her disrespectful actions toward him- simply because she disagrees with him.
