I read in the NY Times that 130,000 NYC kids in our City schools are from Homeless families. These are Shelter kids. They number in just this City more than the whole populations of many medium sized cities, and counties in this country. This doesn’t count their parents.
Our 49,000,000+ millions of American poor out number the complete populations of Western European countries.
All this is fine.
I watched an old clip of Alan Greenspan on C-Span:
He said,...
“These numbers are the necessary cost of a prosperous market capital country”. Point blank no excuses not out of context. He was asked about the great poverty in this country. That was what he said.
Most that eat regular can order pizza and buy stupid shit on Amazon agree with him. This by doing nothing. They don't vote or if they do they vote their skin color. Mind you these aren’t rich folks. Most live check to check, and think this is normal.
Just regular assholes going about their business.
Tens of millions in frightful want is fine with them. Them, and most everyone else. This is why nothing is being done, and nothing ever will be done.
Yeah I know you all know this.
I just think it’s nice to see it written down. This for when the trials come, and many will have to admit they knew, but didn’t care. I mean the pizza, and new apps are just so good.
