When they told me that our governments were private corporations, I believed them, but I was left wondering how I would plant it on the people in the street.
They put it to me like that. The Mayor is the CEO, the Board of Supervisors is the Board of Directors of the corporation, the banks are the preferred shareholders and the people – that is, the public, the inventory.
I explain this because now, suddenly, the city of San Francisco finds that it doesn’t have money for this or that, and therefore people have to salt the juice, that is, inventory, and thus pay the expenses that many Sometimes they leave in large salaries and in social services many times in the maintenance of people who come to SF with addictions and mental problems.
What have I heard?
That San Francisco is very friendly with people who arrive with nothing from other states of the Union, since in SF they show up and immediately the city’s social services offer them a check, food and perhaps housing. I have heard that many of these people are addicted or sell drugs to their own homeless people, and that these refuse to be accommodated in shelters, because they like to live outdoors and not be directed or supervised by anyone.
That many have died from synthetic opioids other than methadone (mainly fentanyl) which are the leading cause of drug overdose deaths, increasing nearly 7.5-fold between 2015 and 2021.
That businesses are being looted by thieves who break into stores and fill large bags with merchandise and sell it to places like 24th and Mission streets in San Francisco, where the sidewalks are saturated with stalls selling stolen goods.
That the judges release them immediately when they are arrested, and they continue to commit crimes.
That there are fewer policemen than are needed to control rampant looting.
All this makes me think that with so much money that is collected, it is not enough for that much.
And now it is circulating that the corporation is going to go to the inventory – the people, by extending the hours of the parking meters, which have always been from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
People who arrive tired from work will be sacrificed by extending the hours until 10 p.m., and on Sundays from 12 noon to 6 p.m.
This is cruel, very cruel, because not even the pilgrims will be able to go to mass.
