  • Carol Dutcher, homeless and recently swept from an encampment in Rio Linda talks about how she has no place to go and how a ticket only makes it harder for her to get housed because she has no way to even appear in court on June 28, 2024. Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to uphold the power of governments to impose civil punishment for camping outside.

California has been inviting in the homeless for years and years. That’s why there’s so many people there like this. the state has been big on giving stuff out free, till more and more people go there. Now it’s overload. this lady says she worked and so she should be getting Social Security. Of course it’s sad to hear this, but there’s a lot left out of the story.

      What is sad is that the Social Security won't be enough to pay rent. It sounds like she helped/lived with her mother until she passed away. Very sad how the elderly can't pay rent or basics of life anymore. I know in the town I live in a lot of the elderly are still working in their 80's. Some of the reasons are that their spouses pass away and that 2nd income is no longer there. The bills/rent are usually based on 2 incomes or S.S. checks and when 1 check is gone something has to make up the difference.

      It really is weird dynamic that requires nuance that neither side wants to look at. Should we be jerks to immigrants and not let people come here? Of course not as our nation is built on immigrants. Still immigrants prior to the 90's had to do it without help from local, state, and the federal government. There used to be more social welfare programs to help citizens of all classes and backgrounds, which is why prior to the 90's and after the Great Depression it was rare to find people in the same situation as this woman. The messed up thing is that people will say things like we should go work the fields for farmers. Ironically many people actually would do that, but if you're white and want to work the fields it's an automatic nope. Hell try applying for a job at McDonalds in Sacramento if one is white and middle aged or older, because they won't hire you. So much hypocrisy it is maddening.

The system we have set up is predatory at every level and is designed to extract the maximum amount of money to finance expansion for the global elite. I'm screwed if I get sick and will join this woman on the streets if I'm unable to work. I think millions, maybe 10s of millions are in the same boat. The 2 clown candidates are not addressing any of the causes of this. The only one talking about real solutions is RFK but I think that Wall street will send him to be with his dad and uncle if he gains any traction. Very soon there will be little to no middle class in the US and the homeless population will be 100 times what it is now.

    When you go to vote, ask yourself who lowers taxes for corporations, who pushes corporate deregulation, who supports corporate monopolies and who on the Supreme Court voted to make poverty a crime. Now, picture a future where the rights of individual people are put above the rights of corporations and where basic safety net support and services are guaranteed for those in need.
    Let’s embrace a future where compassion is celebrated rather than ridiculed.

    If nobody in her family is willing to let her at least sleep at night inside their home, something must be wrong because that's terrible to not help out your blood. Besides that, all these homeless tiny homes and other transitional houses need to be investigated and looked into because the public is being lied to. People don't care enough until it's them and theirs, but sometimes not even then. We as a society need to do better. Every person should have shelter, toilet/shower and food and water.

    The criminalization of homelessness in America belongs upon the government which has created much of the issue.

What arrogance to deny a poverty stricken person the dignity of a comfortable spot on the ground where they still have to keep looking over their shoulder hoping to defend themselves against the next strong armed robbery, where they are feasted upon by the insects and parasites common to dogs and cats and living under conditions a hundred years in the past. These are still human beings. Imagine if they were your sons, your daughters, your mothers, your aunts; because if you have no compassion God will make sure to bring your callous arrogance back upon your own or your loved ones head.

    The church stepped up and helped her with everything.
    Even when she was a senior the church is always sending food, and other gifts of help.

      Well I see where you are coming from. ( One nation under God ) Godly nation would not treat poor people like this. But we have our government to thank for this. Our government can spend billions/ trillions on illegals from another country who has never paid a dime in Taxes. But yet doesn't use that money to house and feed the homeless. And work to build them back up and into to working world. Because once they get to a place if being homeless like this woman for example. How can she get a job if she has no clothes no way to shower. No transportation money ? They should have used all that money they spent on illegals to help the homeless like this woman. For the ones who are in drugs. That want to get clean their should be a program set up for them and a separate living quarters/ apartment building in place to separate them. This woman should not be living around all those druggies. They would be the worst about stealing. There needs to be a separation. For homeless no drug addicts and one for drug addicts in rehabilitation. I don't mean a big shelter either. If they could give illegals hotels and apartments etc .every state government funded They should build two separate housing. To help the homeless. Fir the druggies that refuse to work to get clean. Leave in the streets. For the mentally all ill. Well time to open back mental wards to house them.

      5 years ago CA food stamps for a single woman earning less than 1400/month non SS or Disability income and veey minimal "expenses" was $146, then jumped to $194.
      The process was a single on site form, provide your id and ss number, option for cell or in office return as contact vs mail.
      Approval was virtually automatic via verifying you were real, no income over declared sums. But govt, so took say 10 days to a month.
      It is provided as a debit card, automatically added to each month.
      Nearly anything but alcohol and monster drinks are covered, even prepared foods in many forms.
      You provide any new info on income, expenses, housing status to the same office, reverify/apply every year after first 6 months or so.
      Additionally if she has mental health issues documented she can most likely be paid a larger monthly Disabilty income on top of SS.
      Is it hard now? Are costs spiking? Is housing and govt programs swamped?
      Yes.
      But honestly the very fact she voluntarily joined a homeless encampment is a red flag as to her being as involuntarily still in this boat and willing to accept help as this video implies.
      And it being far from any public or help or services only makes that more likely.
      Encampments scream DANGER GET AWAY NOW AND HIDE FROM THEM FAR AWAY FROM ANY OTHERS TOO to any woman of any age *not severely mentally ill or an addict* .
      Not so much as a cluster of parked cars on a retail lot in a public area is wise if a woman alone, let alone a flimsy tent with no mean dog and a weapon always on hand- and you need to sleep some time.
      That ZERO others or the detritus and fallout events are on this footage raises my own red flags as to the honesty and veracity of the narrative being broadcast.
      Question everything.

People are needlessly dying and those in control (super wealthy where I live) do not care at all. I have seen grown men yell at an 85 yr woman who went through a no fault eviction and broke down and cried while speaking before our city council. She was an active contributing member of society her whole life (a teacher) and lost her senior housing and there sincerally was no where else for her to go, and she had money. i worked and volunteered in the system. This woman tells the truth...we have been breaking records on senior deaths due to being homeless and hot/cold exposure. There is no where for them to go. The private market viciously discriminates against senior citizens. The waiting lists for any thing else are years! I am so disgusted by all the people in power who choose to make excuses and look the other way and it is happening everywhere.
