Both Japan and much of Africa are mostly mono cultures.
Cultural diversity at the extremes America has experimented with just doesn’t work to keep a country unified with the same values and policies. Democrats have divided us into so many identity groups and cultivated such hatred for the founding values of our country — even for just law and order, and they constantly work to keep minorities angry and afraid and perpetual victims, so there is no unity and collective cohesion of values or ideals.

I thought about van living but there's arguably more hassle involved in finding places to park. I'm not going to live in an unorthodox fashion unless the cost of living is way less than say renting an apartment. I have it pretty good right now in that I take home way more than my monthly expenses. Luckily there is not a shortage of apartments out here like there is housing.

Honestly if I never was forced into overtime EVER I'd have no problems being a cog in my current situation the rest of my life...it's the forced overtime that annoys me. There's been a trend on some machines to get redundant personal that can cover the OT so we aren't forced to live here....I might look into those jobs.

Anyways there's no easy solution to the homeless problem...what just pay to house and clothe people who won't work when we already have real estate shortages and sky high housing prices? Is this an issue either party can fix? I doubt it since they are both addicted to central bank stimulus which helps blow up these asset bubbles and make things less affordable. If we don't have places to put these border migrants we can't possibly just house all the homeless when we don't have the housing available nor the labor supply to build the housing. Could we provide them with a job and temporary rentals in a new location that has labor shortages? They probably wouldn't show up and end up fired anyways. You can't save everyone. They are going to want to be homeless where the weather is fair.... Not letting in refugees and undocumented immigrants would be a good start...

Great job! Post pictures of the worst parts of American cities, but posting the best parts of select African cities. Totally an apples to apples comparison you made there. Lmao.

One reason: The Japanese have pride in their culture. Those that destroy their own cities and don't take care of them don't.

Voting Democrat = Socialism


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Winston Churchill

Don't knock the Dems, they totally believe in and advocate for street-freepooping and other behavior that most sane people find repulsive.
