The Spokesman newspaper has a strong and fair article on the homeless crime perpetrated by government and Catholic Criminalities. They look at all sides, especially normal businesses and normal people who are terrorized and ruined by the mess. Of course the “mayor” doesn’t see any problem. She is firmly pro-crime and pro-chaos. She only sees normal people as an obstacle to her pet criminals.
As Ford and FDR said in different ways, THE ANSWER IS WORK.

Nobody is solving the most serious problem in this country and Canada. Crime, homelessness, drug overdoses. The cause is extremely simple. Globalism. The WEFtern countries handed their industry to China so our corporations could focus exclusively on fun stuff like LBOs and stock buybacks and bitcoin trading.
In 1889 JM Graybill wrote:
The people of Free-Trade countries are therefore driven into the few occupations which are left, by reason of the destruction of their formerly more varied pursuits. Hence those diversified talents with which men are endowed are not developed but remain latent and unused, an incalculable detriment to the prosperity of their respective countries.
Modern US/UK/EU economics demands Ebola-style open borders above all, and operates with a goal variable of SHARE VALUE. We are collapsing.
FDR paid close attention to Graybill’s Law when he was repairing the damage done by previous share-value collapses. His farm subsidy program preserved the skills of farm families, which would take several generations to rebuild otherwise. WPA took special care to keep all sorts of talents working and learning, from housewives to masons to cooks to writers to musicians**. At that time the industrial range of skills didn’t need as much help, so WPA didn’t focus on industrial skills. The auto industry slowed down but continued running at a reasonable level.
The real cure is eliminating the stock market or SEVERELY curtailing its reach and power. The Soviet system eliminated it, FDR curtailed it effectively, allowing real business to function well for 50 years until Nixon opened the bomb bay again and resumed destroying the country.
Even without halting the basic cause, there are a few obvious steps that states and cities COULD take if they wanted to. Controlling crime is not a difficult concept. Separate professional criminals from lawbreakers, keep pro criminals in jail for a LONG time or execute them. Before the 1970s we did it. “Inmate rights” and “equality” eliminated the obvious distinction and prevented prisons from doing anything effective to IMPROVE behavior. The recipe for improvement is the same as WPA’s recipe for the overall economy. USEFUL AND PURPOSEFUL WORK for inmates.
We also did a better job of handling mentally incompetent people, whether congenital or drug-induced. Involuntary commitment worked, and the older form of sanitariums also worked. Instead of replacing one psychoactive drug with other psychoactive drugs, asylums gave the inmates USEFUL AND PURPOSEFUL WORK, farming or cooking or sewing for the institution. This cured most problems effectively. Replacing one drug with another only creates MORE addiction, not less.
Again this changed in the ’70s. Teddy Kennedy and Ronald Reagan worked both ends of the political game to “deinstitutionalize” and “get rid of abusive asylums.” They were pretending to argue for more “inmate rights”, but the result was vastly less freedom and security and improvement for the inmates as well as the general population.
The answer is USEFUL AND PURPOSEFUL work, with decent working conditions and decent pay. That was Ford’s answer and FDR’s answer, and it was our most common answer to crime and drugs and mental problems until we restarted Wall Street’s bombers.
= = = = = END LONG REPRINT.
What do we need here and now? We need men to build things. Thanks to the Catholic Criminalities gang of arsonists, we need 800 replacement houses on top of the existing need for expansion. WPA and TVA managed to build dams, parks, roads, schools and houses FAST while giving PURPOSE AND SKILLS to formerly unemployed men.
Now we break the dams, burn the houses, rewild the farms, and fill the parks with criminals.

** The new work-bomb of AI makes me think especially about the writers and artists. WPA hired people because business was not hiring, but WPA didn’t want to permanently DISPLACE business. Wages were somewhat less than previous business wages for the same skill, inviting the workers to keep watching for private jobs, and making it easier for business to hire people again. If WPA had paid far more than business, there wouldn’t be any motivation on either side. Andrew Yang’s UBI would intentionally PREVENT business from taking back the AI territory.
