I'm thinking Houston isn't a place I'd want to visit, eh?
Where would be?
Lotta feral people on the streets here in Ft. Wayne. Driving down 930 on the southeast end is a hazard with all the people walking on the highway. So many people have lost everything in this depression. Jobs, houses, cars, tools of the trade, etc.

Egad. Living in this bubble, tucked between the mountains, I feel a million miles away from what you're describing, yet I know it's true. It's not that I'm immune here, it's just that the OTHERS hate the cold and there is one way in and one way out of this town. But to the larger mess you describe, WE ARE TOAST. I have never felt stronger that the end of the line is here. I'm far from cheap, but I'm saving my coins and storing my food as if my life depended on it, and that's because it does. I can't see this slop continuing past this selection. I do believe it's time we start to meet each other and prepare for what we all know is the inevitable. No one here is going to take a knee and all I ask for is to go on my own terms with fellow patriots. Pardon the rant but it's time to rant. Lock and load, brothers and sisters.
It sounds like Ft Wayne has been hit a lot harder than Indy. The only thing I've noticed is some of the people holding signs asking for help look like they might have actually been employed recently. The others, the guys that look like Flea from RedHotCP, the obvious hardcore tweekers, the hard luck alkies, the black people who can't grasp the concept that there is no such thing as spare change. Money is entirely fungible, I tell them, occasionally wondering if at my own peril, have been at it for at least a decade. More like forever, their advance men just keep coming up with exciting new product to keep sloth seductive.
