Some of the Rich Still Lobby to Make Homelessness a Crime

 Apparently there are some rich Americans that have lobbied to make homeless a crime. That is equal to making poverty a crime, as well as making existence a crime as everyone needexist someplace even if they can’t afford housing.

Wealth is terribly concentrated in the U.S.A. If the leaders of both major parties were not so concerned with enriching themselves they might understand that it ordinary and poor Americans had a significant portion of the national income there would be far fewer homeless Americans.

Since the end of the Cold War the value of Wall Street has increased more than 2300% while wages barely reached a 30% increase. Marie Antoinette said to let the peasants eat cake if they have no bread. The millionaires and billionaires today can say to the 50 million Americans with less than 1% of the national income; get a job and buy a house. The media price of a new home is about $400,000.

National Guard in Chicago to Reduce Crime and Bully the Homeless as a Substitute for Peace in Ukraine

 President Trump plans to deploy the National Guard in Chicago in the near future in order to cut down on felony crime. He also plans to remove the homeless, yet the federal government should at least offer free relocation services with some legal place for the homeless to go if they want. The homeless may already be at their wit's end and don't know where else to go besides the mean, dirty, neo-toxic streets of an inner city. 

Politicians like to solve one problem while creating another. Politicians tend to triage problems and solve those most valuable to themselves first while discounting the problems they create as externalities. The superior politician (borrowing a Confucian term here lol) solves two problems simultaneously; creating none. 

The President may want a distraction from his flip flop on Ukraine peace policy to one supporting continuing Western expansion of N.A.T.O. toward Russia's borders. Securing the globe for the increase of the rich and plutonomy can begin at home though, if it isn't working so well in Ukraine.

It would be wrong for the nation to be too callous in its treatment of homeless U.S. citizens. The homeless lifestyle isn't as secure or comfortable as that which the President and his social mileau enjoy at Key Largo. The violent crimes reason for the deployment is sufficient. Twenty eight thousand violent crimes in 2024 was a lot for one year and one city and of course there are other felony crimes besides violent ones the deployment of National Guardsmen may be able to serve to reduce quantitatively.

Chicago has roughly a half a million illegal aliens living there. The National Guard may filter out some of those numbers of an internal proletariat and relocate them, yet it is the lawful homeless of concern. The poor shouldn't be trampled on by the advantaged yet neither should they foul the streets and security of those living there. If President Trump doesn't wish to be remembered as something like a cold-blooded billionaire mo'fo trying to bring plutonomy to a city near you, while bull-shipping about ending the Ukraine War and cutting taxes for the rich he will need to find a more compassionate conservatism in regard to the nation's homeless population. For a poor American to have no legal place to exist- even to breathe or sleep, in addition to being difficult, is a circumstance imposed by a state that is wicked and being upgraded for the benefit of AI, robots and those that own them; It is an existential threat to human existence.
