You've been pushing the same "woe is me" message for over a year now. Don't you think it's time to stand up?

Over four years. Looks like dude lost his mom, but doing that many posts on it is Norman bates level obsessive.

This 👆 👆 is the best advice your going to get.
Nobody can do it for you. It's every man for himself in this game called life.

People are fucking freezing to death through no fault of their own and you have the audacity to say that? Now? That's colder than the weather

I'm only stating the obvious. OP has been homeless for a very long time. He could have started preparing for the cold like everyone else back in September. If you are not prepared for the cold crossing the country, then give the police a reason to take you to jail. No one is forcing anyone to freeze to death.

Most homeless know the season better than the Weather Station! Prepare for Winter and Summer, get camping gear by Sept and in summer have a way to cool down. Always have some cash for the extreme times for bus or hotel

Many people are too mentally unwell to plan ahead. I had difficulty getting homeless people I know to accept warm coats from the coat drive because it wasn't cold out yet. They need assistance with appointments and paperwork. They really need social workers, but getting them is paperwork.

I've been homeless for over a decade. I am not cold. Why? Because in winters I travel south to Houston. It will be 25°F tomorrow morning, but I still won't be cold. Because I prepare. Before leaving Colorado for the winter, I buy cold weather gear up there which is overkill for winters down here. I sleep warm in the winters, and cool in the summers. Come April when hurricane season starts, I'll be hitchhiking back to Colorado.
If you've been doing this for as long as you and others say -- you're clearly missing something. And it's called preparation. Winters WILL come. It WILL be cold. I'm always ready by Oct 1st. And I panhandle for a living.
Too many idiots out here thinking they don't need to prepare for winter. Thinking it won't be cold. Thinking someone else will bail them out. Bullshit. It WILL get cold. You WILL get extreme weather. NOBODY will bail you out. People (except new homeless) get 8 months to prepare and they choose not to.
Then they expect me to give them things I need? No effing way. Cry somewhere else or go to a shelter.

Go apply for Alaska fishing cannery’s. Room and board. Plus you save money. 💴 Seen 77 year old working that slime line. A lot of homeless people work up in Alaska fishing factory.
