Robots Could Push Unemployment To 50% In 30 years

the issue is the destruction. It would have been easy enough to find a place for those structures or return them to the original owner vs destroy them. Thats the issue. The city just doesn't care and doesn't want to make a solution. They rather ignore the issue and destroy any helpful ideas.


the food thing is BS all in all. Homeless getting sick? Please. That is a cop out excuse. sick/starve....is there a difference? Just saying....its illogical either way but here is the thing. It has nothing to do with bad food. You go read those stories it has to do with the city not liking homeless people being in the public. City officials are notorious about doing everything possible to make homeless people invisible to the general public. The cities never actually give a toot about them.

Feeding the Homeless Without Permission No Longer Illegal in Dallas--If You Have the Right Motive

only religious people can feed the hungry. If you are an atheist and feel bad for them too bad your getting fined and arrested. -_-

If the purpose of the legislation is to reduce the presence of homeless people in public though, then why don't cities ban homelessness outright? It turns out that politicians actually tried just that in Los Angeles in the early 2000's. The city passed an ordinance that made it illegal to sleep on the street. However, a judge eventually overturned it as unconstitutional.

you need a permit to sleep outside


Don't get me wrong i don't agree with all of these cases but the issue at hand is people are trying to help the homeless and needy and government consistently blocks attempts and finds ways for it to be impossible to help them. Or they create walls of red tape to do it and want to charge you in the process. You know you got to pay the government before you can feed the poor. The government has to take its cut.

A lot of this wouldn't be an issue if the red tape wasn't ridiculous and didn't come with fee/fines whatever you want to call it.

Speaking to CBS, Wickham clarified his proposals: "The goal is to start managing the homeless population within our city," he said. "It just basically means you can’t set up a tent. You can’t live in your vehicle. You can’t live in the woods in Nevada City."

The law will make only a few exceptions and give out a small number of permits that allow public sleeping. The ordinance aims to reduce the crime and trouble supposedly caused by the swelling homeless population. The police chief is to give out about 6 to 10 permits initially, and will look to review the program in 6 months to check whether it is working. Wickham has identified at least 60 homeless people in the immediate community and up to 500 countywide. Any homeless person found sleeping in public without a permit will be arrested.

‘one-of-a-kind’ even though Colorado’s Denver City Council passed a similar “no camping” ordinance back in 2010. The ACLU opposed Denver's move at the time deeming it “unnecessary, mean-spirited and potentially unconstitutional.”

BTW it is inherently more expensive to house homeless in jails and thats where many go. Depending on the jail if my memory serves me it costs 30-150K a year for a jail/prison. The average is 30-40K IIRC.

That's why the millions we house a year in jail and prison is stupid but over criminalization is sorta a side issue. This issue does play a role in over criminalization* though.

*not sure if thats a word but whatever

So as i said...it isn't about unsafe food. Cities hate the homeless....they even tried outlawing it lol

How does this matter today and how do you know he wasn't "jawboning the market"? Bear in mind that Greenspan would routinely say things that were untrue or flat out impenetrable econ speak to confuse Congressman and the market.

Bear in mind that you were originally claiming the FED was already testing negative interest rates, which isn't something that happens when they're just "jawboning". That would be a actual policy change of some sort. But that hasn't happened. The exact opposite has instead.


How exactly? If it was a problem now short and mid term rates would be spiking on our bonds + there would be bond sale failures until the FED raised rates to meet the bond market's demands. The situation in the US doesn't even come close to Greece's: the economy is more varied, actual goods are produced and sold internationally here (we're still only 2nd to China), we still have our own sovereign currency and aren't part of the EU which places all sorts of economic and political restrains on Greece, our currency is a reserve currency, interest rates are still low yet our bonds sell out constantly, etc. Not a one of those differences are minor or indicate risk of hyperinflation.


You realize that private industry has something like multiple quadrillions of liabilities derivatives right? If you want to count all the possible debt up in the most pessimistic and conservative manner then fine but everyone comes out looking covered in crap and wildly incompetent.

Yea they are testing it, they aren't testing it in the market but they are testing its probability in being implemented. They want to get an understanding of what's going to happen before they force every bank in the country to adhere to a new policy change.

In other words they realize having near zero rates are not solving anything and think going negative could be an option.

It's a problem now because measures taken now or in the near term would directly correlate to that sum of debt. Even with our expected growth and proposed tax increases those figures are literally impossible to pay.
