I see the same alarming increase in homelessness here in "nice, friendly" Canada and the West Coast "tourist" city of Victoria. Except for encouraging developers to include "affordable" housing, which by definition is unaffordable at market rents, in their projects, every level of government passes the buck to the next. What is even more alarming is the cold-heartedness of politicians who have no qualms about squandering tax money to enable Israel's genocide. I guess life just isn't worth peanuts these days. By the way, Kathleen, I look forward to seeing more of your wicked work in my inbox in 2025!

This reminds of something I read recently. When the US was founded only white male landowners could vote. The wealthy have always controlled the US, and it has never been a true democracy. In the current incarnation of China, the nation is working at raising the living standard of everyone and there is not the great discrepancy between the haves and have have nots.. It is actually more democratic than the US according to what I read.
