the homeless are ugly
not too different than hobos of the great depression
the difference now is we don authorize cops to bust heads and chase em outta town
larnin from US history we need a FDR or a war
lets get us a FDR. vote progressive
lol, the only thing that saved FDR and the country from financial ruin due to his policies was a war. Let's just skip the intermediate step this time, shall we?
its an idea
war is infrastructure spending
war is fiscal stimulus
nothing puts people to work like total war
its just the war years are hard
War is not just infrastructure, fiscal stimulus and employment (usually high-paying, high-skill manufacturing employment to boot)...it's also an impetus for new technology, the creation of new markets and acts as a relief valve and reset for social tensions/attitudes.
There hasn't been a good, old-fashioned, worldwide blood bath since 1945. Human instinct (which is to fight and kill each other, not to hold hands and sing Kumbaya) can only be stifled for so long before it explodes.
