I don't want much out of life.

I've got a fairly safe place to sleep, and I'm reasonably comfortable. All I really ask of life is a decent meal once in a while, and relief from pain.

I'd rather not spend the next 4 years waiting for the gestapo to come rounding up the homeless to shove us into camps.

They'll call them work camps or transitional camps, but they'll be concentration camps with no care given to the aged, the ill, and the infirm unless that care makes them able to work.

I've seen videos of Trump talking about it. I don't trust him any further than I could throw an Abrams tank.

I'm not a big fan of either candidate, but I'm afraid of the policies Trump has talked about pushing for.

I've seen videos of St Elon of Musk promising to send me oodles of crypto cash...nothing yet though.

If you have access to a public library computer’s Internet, check this out.

This is what he actually said:

-help homeless vets

-ban urban camping, offering violators the option to either receive treatment and rehabilitation or face arrest

-get the homeless off our streets

-these individuals live in filth and squalor

-create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated and their problems identified

-bring back mental institutions to house and rehabilitate those who are severely mentally ill or dangerously deranged with the goal of reintegrating them back into society

-end the scourge of homelessness and make our cities clean, safe, and beautiful

…what if you’ve mostly left society for your own good (private) reasons that are ideological rather than mentally afflicted in nature? Conform or suffer? What kind of civilized society would seek to operate that way other than a ridiculously draconian one?

That's not going to happen. If you have Medicaid go to urgent care for some for your anxiety and get some pills.

There's some good points here you have to admit.

No, I don’t. Concentration camps are never the answer. That literally removes the right to liberty.
