@InfiniteEmf @teslaownersSV I’ve seen this too. Then, have to designate places for them that aren’t in the way of children getting to school. Maybe is one solution?

I had occasion to speak with a young man of 28 years who had just come in from a decade on the streets. He'd gotten himself cleaned up, got housing and was working a full-time job.
In the course of our conversion I asked him, "If there were a way to offer the homeless a guaranteed path off of the streets and into a constructive lifestyle, how many would take it?" This young man, based on his own personal experience on the streets, opined that he would be surprised if even 10% took the deal.
The thing about homelessness is that the lifestyle demands no accountability from anyone to anyone, and people are willing to trade everything to be able to live a life — even a crappy one — where nobody's in their grill demanding accountability. Ever.

Dear college students who so fervently protested for months across America: Iran is hanging kids your own age for doing exactly what you did - protesting.
Why aren’t you standing up for Iranians who desperately want freedom?

Scientists have confirmed something almost unbelievable… forests aren’t silent at all.
Researchers from the University of Florence discovered that trees communicate using ultrasonic sound pulses — frequencies so high (20–200 kHz) that humans can’t hear them.
In the forests of Casentino Forest, European beech trees under drought stress began emitting rapid ultrasonic “clicks.” These weren’t random noises — they were warnings.
And here’s the wild part…
Nearby trees heard the signal and reacted within hours.
Before experiencing any drought themselves, they started closing their stomata (tiny pores on leaves) to conserve water proving they received and acted on the warning.
Scientists traced the sound to tiny internal events called cavitation microscopic bubbles forming and collapsing inside the tree’s water transport system. These clicks travel through air and soil, reaching trees up to 50 meters away.

Rick Rescorla was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower on September 11, 2001. A former Army officer, he had long believed the World Trade Center could be attacked, so he made employees practice evacuation drills regularly.
When the North Tower was hit, officials told people in the South Tower to stay put. Rescorla ignored that order. Using a bullhorn, he immediately began guiding 2,700 workers down the stairs to safety.
To keep everyone calm, he sang Cornish songs from his childhood as they escaped. Almost all of Morgan Stanley’s employees survived because of his quick action.
Rescorla went back inside to help others and was last seen just before the tower collapsed. He is remembered as one of the great heroes of 9/11.

THE MILKY WAY IS ABOUT 100,000 LIGHT-YEARS WIDE.
That means light — traveling at 299,792 kilometers per second — would need 100,000 years to cross our galaxy from one side to the other.
It contains an estimated 100–400 billion stars, including our Sun, orbiting a supermassive black hole about 4 million times the mass of the Sun.
When you see the Milky Way arching across a dark sky, you are looking edge-on through billions of distant suns.
You’re inside that structure.
