@SeaHorseMcGee We adopted him and siblings from foster care. They had been removed from their home in part because their mom had abusive transients living there. Anyway go on and tell me what you think you know about homelessness and compassion.

@cogmeyer Your child is very fortunate to have never experienced homelessness

So my kid just finished a semester in the dorms at a CA junior college. His roommate is a previously homeless 18 year old that apparently got free dorm, free meal plan and even extra cash for checking the homeless box. He spent the cash on a gaming system. He dropped out the first month, but was allowed to stay in the dorm because... homeless. Today 5 of 6 suite mates got together to clean the dorm, to get their deposit back (and also to not be slobs). This guy sat in a chair watching, because taxoayers payed his dorm deposit. Anyway just a little report on CA efforts to house the homeless.

@suffragite @mrhHomes @GloriaP67166475 Unfortunately, nope.

@mrhHomes @cogmeyer @GloriaP67166475 The College of Make Believe, and his son majored in story telling

@bbqlover79 @Bethylane69 @GloriaP67166475 Why is him living away in a dorm a problem?

@Bethylane69 @GloriaP67166475 @cogmeyer So why would OP's kid be in a dorm if they're going to a community college? Shouldn't OP's kid be living at home?

He doesn’t like words that hide the Truth, George Carlin!

The difference a line on a map makes, CA vs NV $100 million savings & 3-4 years faster

@ChefGruel Actually tax should be $5T spending / 250M adults = $20k per adult. This would fix the problem of people voting for benefits assuming someone else pays, silly college degrees etc.

Flat tax 100%

@necedejamais Literally what I told my kid this morning. Everything is a learning oppty :)

@cogmeyer Sad story for all involved. The kid should’ve had to work. You shouldn’t get everything for free and not have to work for it and then he dropped out that’s sad and then not helping clean that’s even sadder that he feels that entitled helping is not really helping this kid.

@June15th2025 We all felt bad for him. But became a tough situation for dorm mates to live with a non-student slob.

@cogmeyer The saddest part is he wasted a huge opportunity to better himself.

@GloriaP67166475 Quite a few, and many more being built

@cogmeyer I actually didn't know any community colleges had dorms.

Getting a lot more common with JCs adding dorms. My kid was at university 1st semester, didnt do well with his major. Decided to reset wirh a new major and we both agreed coming home and living like HS was a step backwards. He did great 3.8 GPA and is working towards a CalPoly transfer.

@cogmeyer Why you spending money to house a kid in a dorm that’s going to community college?!!

@CardioNP Yeah, dorms close Saturday.

@cogmeyer Now that the semester is over does he get evicted?

Ok @Fix_50, the new lanes are open and painted. And despite being brand new, they are rough, uneven, with constant transistors from concrete to pavement and back. Like every 100 yards. Are you purposely making new freeway lanes crappy to match the rest of California roads? Can taxpayers get our money back?

@ChrisCillizza Worst. Autopsy. Ever.

The DNC Autopsy report runs 192 pages. There is not ONE mention of Joe Biden's advanced age or the strategic decision to shield him from a public that thought he was too old to continue as president. Unreal.

@cogmeyer @ABC7 That’s when the semi’s going 53 mph aren’t passing the semis that are going 52 mph

When they were given full control of the blue area they elected Hamas, shot rockets at Israel and used aid money to build tunnels. And then killed 2000 people at a rave because they were afraid of a Saudi Israeli peace deal. A noble experiment that unfortunately failed miserably. Why can't these people just build a Sandals Resort already and shut the fuck up?

This is the new map of Gaza. Nearly 2 million people — most of them displaced — are now crammed into just 133 square kilometers. That is nearly 15,000 people per km².

@DaTacoGuy12 @ABC7 Artificially constraining connections between highly productive regions doesnt help anybody. And even ultra likable people like me sometimes have large families, requiring car transport.

The HR department exists for one reason: to perpetuate the HR department.

@DaTacoGuy12 @ABC7 Yeah true. Except almost all of I-5 between LA and Norcal is just 2 lanes...same as it was in 1970

@cogmeyer @ABC7 Nah bro u got it mixed up. Theres the semi’s driving 65 in the left lane and 3 other lanes of people trying to drive around semis in the other lanes 😂

Caltrans is exploring the idea of a high-speed bus system that could travel up to 140 miles per hour between San Francisco and Los Angeles, offering an alternative form of transportation for travelers. Would you ride in one? abc7.la/IVo6xQ

@skeeballbob37 @ABC7 Yes. Technically we're already capable of Teala's linking up in FSD virtual trains, and operating at high speed and efficiency. And would far safer and faster then current ness between LA and NorCal.

@cogmeyer @ABC7 how about adding three more lanes in each direction? open that sucker wide up and get rid of traffic on it completely
