This is very sad, Jen. We have the same problem here. If all the billionaires and millionaires could part with some of their riches in helping these people by putting up safe houses, we would not have these problems in this world. It saddens me.

My point entirely.........the 'rich' will have to build more secure homes when the people become so poor!
Not my way of wanting to see the world.

One or two shelter homes in each city where there are volunteers to cook a meal or two is not much to ask. And you are right they will keep building for themselves.

No one should have to suffer in this way. Β Especially as the EU destroys over produced food every year. Β buildings lay empty and could be used as homes or tempory accommodation. Β We as humans are greedy and wasteful, with the resources Mother nature has given us.

A powerful image.

There's a black man who is horribly burned who stands at a stop sign with a cup in what's left of his poor hands looking for a handout. Β I make it a point to have a loose dollar or two to give him every time I see him.
