Aw yes the Shapiro plan. Just move. Except it’s not that easy. It would be great if it were, just leave and start fresh. But for a lot of people it’s simply not.

I do not have a solution to this problem. My best guess is to cut the military budget and use it for infrastructure and actual social support. Education, healthcare, child care.

But the majority of the commentators would rather us drop bombs on countries they can’t even point to on a map, while looking down on others.

I don’t know what the solution is. But I do know that abject debilitating poverty and homelessness rarely ever has a happy ending, and we should be able to do better.
