I can't afford a yacht. Why does the media refuse to cover the widespread yachtlessness crisis?

Hello Dobrien,
I think this falls along those same lines.
"Police officers in Portland, Oregon, have arrested 112 protesters during violent protests after the election of Donald Trump. Of those 112, 69 either were not registered to vote in Oregon, or did not vote there in the 2016 election, NBC’s KGW TV reports."

Respectfully,
O.A.

Wat an gross over simplification! Some people do not want the responsibility of a home. I sat on a diversity council locally, where one man with a good paying factory insisted on living in his car, actually telling those who wanted to "help" him, that he did not want the responsibility. Homes are re financial sponsibilities and upkeep on a large scale. Some people don't make the choices to afford a home, as they would rather drink, smoke, do drugs or take cruises, than plunk down thousands for a home. My brother could well afford a home, but hates to mow grass and do repairs, so he rents and apt. It serves the goal of the bureaucrats to believe they cn't afford it, then tell us why? What do they really value, what are they willing to spend money for, what choices are they making?

Homelessness is caused by people who can't afford homes? Why, that's irrefutable logic.
Car crashes are caused by cars hitting something.
Some diseases are caused by viruses.
Divorces are caused by people who no longer want to stay together.
Mud pies are not as tasty as apple pies.
I'm so glad that these things are pointed out to my pointy little head.
Dumbed down?
Dumbed out.

Dumb can also be trying to look smart.
For 21 years in every Alabama Department Of Corrections memo whether posted on a wall or sent to me to read would always and I mean always contain some form of three basic words which are (1) implement, (2) facilitate and (3) utilize. Me dino noticed this during the first six months when I was a trainee back in 1982.
Quite often all three would be used.
Yes, I wrote "used." A Bama DOC memo writer would recoil in horror at the thought of using any form of so base a word as the base word "use."
"Used" would just have to be substituted by "utilized" each and every time.
Never saw "to do" or "do it" or "use it" in any similar form. No, that kinda English was too freaking simple to feel self-important..

I saw a sign yesterday that read "Sidewalk becomes slippery when covered with snow and ice"

Perhaps I could afford better an apartment if the
City government had not so arrogantly condemned
the building I was living in, in which I had gotten a-
long fine for a long time with the rental company. No, I am not homeless yet, but who knows?
(It was claimed that a wall was "falling down";
actually, there were a few loose bricks).

They have houses on military bases. What is the problem?

The statement that homeless are that way because they can't afford a house is one of those accepted liberal "facts" that is not necessarily true. When I lived in the People's Democratic Republic of California (PDRC) the weather was generally nice enough that you could spend most of the time outside. There were homeless camps by the Sacramento and American Rivers. If it got hot they jumped into the river. If it got cold they could go to a shelter. If they got hungry they went to the soup kitchen. If they were jonesing for a fix they begged until they got enough. No house payment, no tax, no mowing, no responsibility and plenty of fresh air.

Ahhh, Without the dumb there would be no MENSA.

or critical thinkers, hummmm.

And now for a totally inappropriate comment.
“Remove the warning labels; let natural selection run its course!”

you could fill pages of examples of the dumbed down populace.
