Slowly, then all at once.
Nice that it was brought up. Remember Julie Christie walking past the homeless to shoot Rod Steiger? Things were that bad and it’s a result you can expect.
Every society has to take care of the unfortunate. That means a minimum of socialism even in capitalist economies. Capitalism doesn’t work for everyone and things change so fast nowadays people will check out and get violent. How do you keep the haves(90%) supporting the status quo. What do you expect from the have-nots that feel entitled? Somebody has to be the bad guy in a democracy where everyone pretends to be good.
Yep.
Rats will do this as soon as they think they can. Day by day they reassess.
I remember years ago in Manhattan, a new high rise off Central Park and 5th Avenue, cost a fortune to live there. Due to DeBlasio’s policy of spreading the homeless and welfare recipients around the city, part of the new tower was to be set aside as basically free rent for the homeless. The wealthy purchasers went into an unproar and arranged for a separate entrance around the corner on a side street with separate elevator for the homeless and welfare recipient residents so they didn’t have to mix with them.
