RAND Corporation@RANDCorporation

The number of unsheltered people and related vehicles, tents, and makeshift structures we found averaged:

➝ 1,358 in Skid Row
➝ 685 in Hollywood

They’re an incubator, & the state is forcing them to carry a pregnancy that they don’t want to carry & they don’t feel good about carrying.” #mapoli https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/21/business/traveling-out-state-an-abortion-nightmarish-journey-that-some-massachusetts-women-face-too/

Most people today have no idea who I am. When I write or express my opinion, it is not because I read some book, watched the news or like playing Monday morning quarterback. I think it might surprise many of you just how deep into the game I was.
