I wouldn’t be making these kinds of tweets if I was eligible to the 1k a month. Since LA county likes to exclude instead of being inclusive. $175 storage & $90📱
Before COVID . There is Metro & Foothill transit buses that ran 24hrs a day/ 7 days a week. If the driver got to know you, you could get in & sleep. You had a driver, some camera (at doors) & warm hard bus seat to Sleep on.
When I was first as a homeless teen/young adult struggling to stay in college. I had one metro bus driver give me free emergency transfers with no time expire & let me into the El Monte bus station bathroom to sleep for the night. (Before the remodel)
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.
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.
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)
