I honestly don't know how he does it. I recently started helping a homeless girl. Honestly in part due to being inspired by this guy. Its absolutely heart breaking hearing her stories. I managed to get her into housing and employed in only a couple weeks. It cost me less than a hundred bucks. She told me I was literally the only stranger she met who helped her. It broke my heart when she told me that.

The problem with 90% of the people Mark interviews is a lack of love when they were kids. If you don’t get any love when you were younger, you’re gonna have lifelong problems. Whether that’s drugs or sex work or whatever. It’s down to people having children when they aren’t up to the task at hand.

I'm an ICU Nurse..I've been working since 1989. The Pandemic definitely left me with PTSD. It was the harshest thing I ever experienced. The worst part is people who literally would not believe me.. Mark's channel is so helpful. It has taught me how to understand many of my patients. I was recently in L A. and my driver drove me through Skidrow. It was so interesting to see. I recently asked a fellow nurse when our town got so many homeless drug addicts. She said it was when they closed a psych facility and put people on the street. I don't know if Mark has covered this. It's a story I'd like to see. I wish the Love I give people was enough to help them. Mark has become noticeably drained over the years. Unfortunately Love and giving things to people is not enough.

Hi fellow nurse! I've not been down skid row, but I have witnessed the enormous increase in homelessness, it's everywhere. When all of the long term psychiatric facilities closed it put an untold number of people on the streets. I had the opportunity to do a month rotation in the major long term facility in my state. I remember talking to elderly men playing pool, asked them where they were from and being told "Here. I've always lived here." Children who were unwanted were placed in these homes. Gosh, I could go on forever. I worry for Mark as well. It's a lot.

@@Marktheshark-e7f Amazing how Reagan was in office 40 years ago, and people are still blaming him as if there hasn't been anyone in power who could change things since then. Regardless though, the state can't force anyone to live in a mental hospital unless they're a danger to society. Check the supreme court case O'Connor v. Donaldson. Also, people act like there's no homeless shelters or that there isn't billions of dollars being poured into fixing homelessness. You can't fix people who don't want to be fixed. All you can do is stop the flow of drugs and arrest actual criminals, which our government apparently can't. Or won't.

@@aileenmac1 many people admire wealth because we’ve been trapped in a system that puts money above almost anything else. In my experience, lots of people admire the selfless acts of others in the form of teachers and such. It’s not as apparent if we watch tv or social media, but that’s because those institutions are captured by the same elite that want us to worship money and not compassion. We overcome this by seeking the truth, discovering it for ourselves, and putting out into the world the changes we want to see. It’s a never ending challenge because we are going against the grain of modern society. Changes are coming if we work hard together to create a new paradigm. They need to come or we will perish.

I’m 55 and have known since I was 8 that I was molested/abused. However I was also told I was loved, so for a child so young it’s impossible to process the abuse because children focus on whatever love they get. I have gone to different therapists/psychiatrist my entire adult life. In my early 20s a Psychiatrist who I told about abuse, told me I was irrational and prescribed me Prozac. (This Psychiatrist was a family friend) hind sight is 20/20. My mother taught me self hate. In junior high school I was given 2 dexatrim capsules and a can of Sego ( disgusting diet shake) in a can. I was 12, and had complained to my mother that someone I went to school with teased me about being chubby. Etc, etc, not one time could I understand the disconnect as a child, because I wanted to believe my mother loved me. Anyway at 55 I did mushrooms and boom I realized abuse and love are not the same!

What a great interview. I have tremendous respect for Mark Laita, all that he has achieved and his thoughts/insights. One comment mentioned Mark's wear and tear on himself. Anyone pursuing extremely impassioned paths such as Mark's work with society's down trodden, will realize there are costs to one's heart, mind, body and soul. The ultimate challenge is to establish and maintain boundaries and compartmentalization to stay "on the sane side of the tracks." This could well include a point at which one would need to "retire" for personal salvation. I know this from personal experience from years of extreme animal rescue. At one point, the toll on me personally was crippling beyond repair and I had to pass the torch.

I was widely anticipating these two having a “chat”. Mark, you are an amazing individual. I began watching Soft White Underbelly back in 2019. Joe, thanks for having Mark on your show! 3:42

Only thing I don't agree with Mark on is that all drug addicts come from a traumatized childhood unless spoiling a child can traumatize them as I have two family members that come from normal homes but they simply hung out with the wrong crowd of druggies that messed them up.

Sometimes children have trauma from having parents who give them everything as a substitute for giving their actual time. Might not be the case in your family’s case, but common.

18:32 so true!! I'm a retired social worker and the people I know who got clean didn't do it with treatment, they just woke up one day and decided they couldn't live that life anymore. Treatment is a revolving door and a HUGE money pit.

I agree with you about treatment, but as a substance use counselor, I feel that if I can help 1 person in 10 to stay clean, it's worth the effort.

@@BeBoppin2000 You would be correct in that assumption. If the organization you work for is a religious one; just make sure you check yourself consistently and regularly. Even if you feel the need not to. Doubly so, even. It's not pretty, but the main culprits of this specific issue are religious organizations.

The compassion Mark shows for other people really gives you faith in the world. Never judgemental, always open to anyone’s circumstances - he is a leading example for young men everywhere of how to live and show others humanity when others have turned the other cheek.

I will continue to support and watch Mark’s videos. Before I discovered him my head was in the sand. I hope he keeps it up despite all the backlash and criticism he gets daily.

I love how Mark loves his mother!!! I feel like my son and I have that kind of relationship. All my kids were great, even though I know I wasn't a perfect mom. They know I love them unconditionally! We are under attack by the people that hate God and family, and I'm thankful my family are still intact.

I feel like cleaning services are pimps! I used to do house cleaning for a woman who would send two of us to clean a house for $160 an hour, wed only get commission, which didn't even equal minimum wage when you added in all the driving time we didn't get paid for. So i could put up my own add charging $50 an hour, but i dont drive, limiting my availability. Now i keep seeing these companies in the job ads saying they pay $25 an hour to do house cleaning, but you must have your own vehicle! If i had a vehicle i wouldn't need them! They're basically pimping their cleaners, the one driving for the maid service is the biggest fool! Why would i need them to be a middle guy taking a Chunk?
