Where is max? Max had a beautiful grasp on the complex needs of folks surviving outside and why shelter options don’t = housing.
We can say “there are 45 spaces available” but that number fluctuates hour by hour, day by day.

“As pickups transitioned from farm/ranch workhorses to lifestyle vehicles, their design shifted accordingly: Cabs expanded to accommodate more passengers, while beds shrank. The first generation of F-150s were 36% cab & 64% bed by length. By 2021, the ratio had flipped.

This should concern Canada especially, the US is also running an operation in an attempt to disrupt its current government as well. The CIA is in full swing across North America with even less oversight.
Several things are possible at the same time in Mexico, people are fed up with impunity and cartel violence, and Trump’s CIA is actively attempting to use those grievances to coerce the overthrow of the government.

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
