I think it's sad. Not funny.

But Russians are like that. They get more joy out of seeing their neighbours suffer than helping make things better for themselves, never mind for others.

When we look at homeless people living in tents and in boxes, we automatically assume these people somehow deserve their situation. And many of them do, having made specific decisions to ignore the rules of their home, work, society and laws that resulted in them being ostracized. And there are also the mental health and long time drug addicts.

But I've known actual friends of friends who have lost their apartment or job through no fault of their own and had to buy a van in one case, and anaother cheap, stinky mini RV to live in. Right down near Cherry Beach. I also know a guy who used to be a fairly big shot in a specialty insurance industry who developed a major neurodegenerative disease. One of the nicest, hardest working honest and smart guys I have had the pleasure of having in my life. Both biz and personal. Anyways, he tried to stay on working but eventually had to go onto long term disability at the insistence of his employer as his speech and appearance were distracting. His mind was fine. At some point he innocently tried to make some (taxable) side income writing magazine articles. Disability insc discovered this and cut. him off. Took a few years for him to burn through his savings and retirement funds. Last I heard he can''t really speak well and has no money. I've tried to call and otherwise contact him for a year and nothing.

You never know when any of us or our friends might end up homeless.

I am not talking about the larger issue of homlessness but about tents going up by 200%.

Those MAGA hats are going to become awfully expensive.

And yet the All American MAGA Ultra-Nationalists still pay $50+++ for a cheap $0.48 UGLY hat. A Chinese made. hat promoted and profited by on the very 'bring back American manufacturing policy.

What a bunch of hypocritical traitors, loyal only to their cult leader.

I can already see the world economy realigning. If the USA persists on this absurd path, the entire global supply chain will just bypass it and it will be left behind. I don't really see anything the world really needs from the USA.

Kim Iverson? You might as well just watch Jeffrey Sachs for a pro communist slant.

Just to counter his argument that China spreads its wealth to build roads, lift millions out of poverty, etc. Does this look like China has done what it has claimed? You need to stop watching the propaganda videos showing Beijing and Shanghai.
