@GeorgeTakei 2/ In car 3 yrs. No disability income. No housing. We are the richest nation in the world. Richest country. No excuse.

@GeorgeTakei 6/ @GeorgeTakei Why isn't CA and the US doing the same thing? It takes 3 to 20 yrs on average to get Social Security disability. Most are denied, even to very sick. Outrageous.

@GeorgeTakei 5/ @GeorgeTakei The Englishman said that a medically disabled person is required to be put on disability income, housed, other support services, while still in the hospital. Unlawful to discharge them without these.

@GeorgeTakei 7/ @GeorgeTakei Failed government policies have left people like me as beggars, asking others for help with basics. Why are we put by our elected officials in this humiliating position?

@GeorgeTakei 8/ @GeorgeTakei Last yr I asked for some help on your tweet. One of your readers dinged me for it "tsk tsk". Sigh. I now have terrific @Fresno_State prof @acrowellsoci hosting the fund. She "gets" it, & housing insecurity.

@GeorgeTakei 3/ @GeorgeTakei California is the richest state in the US. If CA, my native state, were a country, it would rank 5th in wealth, behind Germany at 4th place and ahead of India at 6th place. There is NO excuse for homeless crisis, public health crisis. We can solve this.

@GeorgeTakei 4/ @GeorgeTakei A shocked Englishman, shocked that I was on yr 3 of living in my car in CA due to epilepsy, age 59, said CA & US policies are unlawful in England. Not permitted to do to sick, disabled.
