Whoa there, and solve problems by making the government comically loud gulp.....d-do stuff!?!?! What are you some kind of authoritarian?
We are 274 days away from a Republican calling a democrat a "tankie" for voting in opposition of abolishing social security.
Most republicans and democrats do. The entire 60+ voting base would implode and catastrophically collapse. It’s one of those things that politicians keep yelling about but would never dare doing.
And unlike China collapse claims, I know this one is going to be coming true.
The Americans still have to pay for the tents themselves, and then they get harassed by the police.
but but but if you just let them get houses, they won't try to better themselves, and they might complain or say no when I try to exploit them harder, and they might even refuse to scab for me when the union strikes!
but ewww they all look the same and white, I'd rather live in a unique custom built tent on the streets of designated San Fran
