we have watches & Fitbit that read heart rate/BP/pulse/etc.
Why can’t we have a simple biometric wristband that tells status of vaccinations at a glance?
🟩🟩 one shot
🟩🟩🟩🟩 two shots
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 3 shots
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 unvaccinated
🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨 not their wristband.
The issue (I think) we’re having at large that is slowing down the US from going 💯 mask-free is the amount of inconsiderate people is too damn high.
Wear a mask if you wanna be unvaccinated. This doesn’t affect your choice of getting the vax or not.
Be considerate of others. This isn’t about you or me. This is for everyone.
Yeah I’m feeling the mask fatigue and getting sick of always having to sanitize my hands when getting off a bus & before boarding another but I do it & that’s it.
I do what I have to do to protect my health & those around me regardless of their political opinion & regardless if they’re considerate of others or not because I’m doing my small part in what is a larger picture.
To make things worse. I’m in the demographic of “homeless” that gets looked down on because a lot of people think we’re lazy or drug addiction or alcoholism & I’m none of these things but I have to fight everyday to prove it.
To those whom are not part of the problem I appreciate because they see me for me & don’t try to dehumanize myself or others like me.
The point I’m making: if me, a unhoused individual. Can be considerate of others.
Why can’t some of the “Housed Neighbors “ do the same?
I won’t lie. I’m guilty of getting a little chuckle when a “Housed” person gets the rona because I’m like: I sleep on the sidewalk & take buses & not once have gotten it. What is YOUR excuse?
It really isn’t hard to wear a mask & carry sanitizer & get your shots
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Advantages to being car free:
- Never on time
- Spend a whole four hours or more for one trip.
- Deal with weirdos on the public limo.
- Standing around.
- Waiting or riding in the rain.
- Get sick because a passenger on the public limo was sick.
- Your driver doing brake checks
- Have to deal with “Housed neighbors” who have god awful perfume/cologne.
- No seats available because one person wants to take up three seats.
- bus fare is $1.75 per bus. No transfer.
- light rail round trip (depending on distance) starts at $15. This doesn’t include transfer
- carry all your groceries that is at least 8 bags or more & hope none of them break in transit & not raining.
- Hope the public limo waits for you or doesn’t close the door on you as you’re getting on or off.
- Deal with loud people.
- The drunk that reeks that sit next to you.
For example: to do a camp sweep, is about 5-6k for one encampment. a Encampment is defined by the fact that a tent is there & -maybe- trash around the camp (not all camps are like this)
The cost of one sweep, regardless the amount of "tents" at the location. Could easily be a voucher to temporarily house these people for 1-3 months at for example: a motel 6 using a AARP discount. Considering they're already living together in one tent (could be up to 8 people)
Washing your hands every single time you return to the spot you call "Home" & hand sanitizers work like a charm for me. Even at places like 7-11 whom offer them all over their store, i use them when i go in and again before i leave. Simple enough.
It is fine to be 'Alone'.
I can chat with my friends any time by text or VoIP using Discord as my source. I still have a phone to where i can call some of them & guess what? if i want to game with them: Online play. It's been no different since pre-covid. (1/3)
Gavin signed a 12B Bill to address homelessness in CA. 4.6B can make a huge dent to house the homeless in normal everyday apartments at 70k per unit (unit is family or individual) for ample time to self sustaining stability. Why is that not being used? it help at least 66k ppl.🧵
Instead what we are seeing is that money being wastefully spent on encampment clean ups across the state.
I'm in the database with DPSS & CA DMH for needing mental health treatment & not one phone call. So somebody tell me, where is that money being spent on mental health at?
Yes Washington needs to step-in but not give more money, to control the state misuse of funds as Gavin has been doing.
The Vax for the Win Lottery & Now Energy saving. Then his office not doing jack anything about the misuse of funds from H & HHH
By sharing the video i posted. I agree with the sentiment. Meaning the attitude toward a situation.
I PERSONALLY don't believe in faith based support because I am non religious: meaning not relating to or believing in a religion.
My faith goes as far as: something put us here, if you want to call it 'xyz'. Then that is on you. I don't want to be wrong in the end.
I believe there is something greater than us as the human race.
There is OPINIONS that Andy has shared that i do not 100% support but i don't speak against it because he is on a different path from mine. So whom am i to say how he should drive in his lane when i am in my own lane.
