I worked in Santa Ana the county seat of government. We had a civic center full of homeless, with meals distributed three times a day, and other groups providing medical care and counseling. The real shame was those in power worked hard at masking the problem rather than finding solutions. In a Capitalist society a person has no value without being either a consumer or a producer. We are seeing the capitalist credo falling apart, betrayed by its own greed, and we are seeing the first legions of the next revolution.
