I wish government would get off my cloud

California Democrats have begun turning against Governor Gavin Newsom after $20 billion in taxpayer money allocated for tackling homelessness in the state has gone missing.
Gov. Newsom’s California Interagency Council on Homelessness (CICH) is unable to account for billions of dollars in funding over the past five years.
The homeless council has no record of where the $20B has been spent, nor can Newsom’s administration provide any evidence or examples of where the program has been successful in tackling homelessness in the states.
The huge sum of tax dollars has essentially vanished while the homeless crisis in California continues to spiral out of control.
The issue has led to a major blowback from within the Democrat governor’s own party.

A CICH executive responded by claiming that the council is dealing with “data quality issues.”

Metrics are not yet available for how more than $20 billion was spent since Newsom established the council in 2019.

“We’re working expeditiously,” executive officer Meghan Marshall said.😂. https://slaynews.com/news/california-democrats-turn-gov-newsom-20-billion-homeless-council-funding-missing/

In the interior world of man is where we find truth.  The forcing upon us of our interior is highly symbolic in my opinion.  If we take Covid 19 in it’s complexity literally we are thrust against our desires to be exterior creatures in a rush at all times busying ourselves for escape from our interior.  The law demands our confinement for our own good.  Our very life is at risk if we disobey.  Stay home.  Stay safe.  Wear protective equipment and the risk decreases you will be next to fall sick from the invisible pathogen lurking in the air, on the sidewalk, in your neighbor who wears no mask. And once used, why not once more, health and safety laws triumph.

 Is this not remarkable as the external world of fiat wealth is abducted and the familiar consumer jungle simply vanishes like a mist in the late morning sun?  Two wolds are now one.   Our Nightmare and our Daydream!   If we do emerge from our caves the old world is an abandoned movie set.  No more can we sit in the cinema, dine in the restaurant, enjoy a beach or participate in sport for the law forbids this for our safety.  The world objectified then is hostile and harsh no matter how beguiling.  All the movies are coming to pass.

A conundrum as the world objectified is supposed to be what is real.

All community members in this real world  are at risk.  The police are helpless.  The government can only punish. Markets in a dizzying dance no longer represent safety.  No place is safe.  A flushed toilet puts you at risk. And the death toll though far less than many maladies that strike us out of the blue still shows people die from what is called Covid-19.  Death that has no mercy in this land is on all sides and even worse front line workers, heroes, medical laborers, Stakhanovites,  in Hazmat suits DIE from Covid-19.  Science is to no avail.  There is no secular cure for death when even doctors die.  There is however a cure for folly.  And is called a vaccine.

Shoot up and all this goes away.
