Devil Trump sends billions of dollars to Israhell & Ukraine, nothing for the Americans.
Where are our leaders. Making America Great, this definitely doesn't look like it. Human being are truly suffering and people in high places are just ignoring it. Our fore fathers would be discussed.
THE END IS HERE.

The word should appear correctly as Warning NOT Waring.
With so many abandoned buildings and houses why not go and take care of the mental health issues and drugs pick them up give them food and a roof and i promise when they see that they are clean and healthy i bet it will get better. And do like they do in other places give them free control heroin and what ever drugs they use but in a control system with housing and doctors they can change to a better environment lifestyle. The street's drugs will disappear if they do it for free .
Heartbreaking

You always have to remember that most of these people started out with the deck stacked against them in the first place. Low education rates, no REAL jobs or opportunities, coming from broken homes, abusive/addictive family backgrounds, PTSD from our endless wars, untreated mental illness, disability, etc. It's not just the drugs. Affluent people use drugs, too. But rich junkies get rehab over and over until it takes. Poor people just get discarded.
In rural Serbia, there are about 100,000 empty houses with small gardens. The price is about 15,000 dollars. Welcome to happy Serbia....
