"BRUTAL" STATISTICS: MORTALITY RATE OF THOSE WHO DONT HAVE OR FIND WEALTH IN THE U.S. IS APPALLING!!
Urgent Editorial by PAPN staff:
Recent statistics show that life expectancy of the
poor in the United States is only half of that of
wealthier citizens. The average lifespan of an
unhoused person verses those owning property is
80yrs old (w house) vs 48 yrs old (displaced from
home)
Becoming poor in the United States is a virtual
death sentence. Statistics on the mortality of
individuals experiencing homelessness are dire. The
way I read these statistics...The life expectancy of
an individual who loses their property interest in real
estate, and does not acquire
new real estate for any reason PLUNGES as that
person now, having been disposed of property, can
only expect to another decade. If that
Family estrangement and social exclusion in this
country off the charts compared to other countries
almost any country especially China where there is
virtually no homelessness and, interestingly, no
criminalization of it either. How do they accomplish
what American cannot or will not? Answer: strong
family bonds as a social norms/ expectation do not
condone or reward the isolation of ones family
member from the family.
If necessary, it was explained in an online video
testimonial from a PRC citizen that Chinese police officers and community leaders, perhaps having
accurately determined the
cause and solution to the overarching problem with
relative efficiency, will contact, question and
negotiate on the ousted family Members behalf for
the family retaining the rejected daughter son
nephew, uncle what have you as it's generally
understood that even extended family members,
regardless of their current lot in life still require the
family network (or A support network,
fundamentally) in order to survive.
The mass removal/forced displacement and
virtual death sentence of the poor, to even include
formerly financially stable neighbors and family
members is abhorrent to the modern Chinese and
should be for us too.
The Chinese, a formerly quite bloody race, have
appeared to have developed a more healthy and
moral system, under "Communism" mind you, then
we have been able to muster here in the "LofTF" lol
. I also have met several people who are
beating these odds somehow and staying alive for
longer than this on sheer will, but it's thin, cracking
ice. Because...
I ALSO personally knew people in Port Angeles who
have died in a tent. One was staying under a bridge.
Onewas in some bushes off a paved bike
trail. Neither
was drug related. Neither was su***de. One was in
his 30s. The other was in his sixties, on the streets
for six years after his mother died in their family
home
Family home. That sure feels like a quaint term
any more doesn't it.
hmmm.
At any rate the PAPN newspaper (that's us) feels
that an editorial slant is in order ( hence the
language of our story as the real life abomination of
human dignity just rolls along like an atmospheric
river.
Our position is that: Under a bridge, in a tent, at 48
years old, when you may have had a stable healthy
life (and property) as little as a few years earlier (?!)
is NOT a dignified or timely way to transport
spiritually to the next kingdom. I believe that a moral
check on our worship of property and money - I say
OUR because we ALL are responsible for this in
small ways...needs to be happening. Now.
1.3 million have been added to count of precariously
houses people according to new home starts math,
and still hearing about how they are all drug
addicts including those who have been foreclosed
on by banks, landlords, etc) question to those who
persist in washing their hands with that mentally
ill/druggie trope soap; How in the WORLD did all
these functioning addicts blend into society before? How many functioning mentally ill drug addicts are still affordable housed? And finally- How many more millions of people have to be forcefully separated from their property (and law reviews, and United Nations Human Rights warnings, etc.) before it occurs to people in the U.S. hat they can't possibly all be mentally ill drug addicts and that it's something else driving this?
