IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE PROHIBITION OF GUNS
... it's rather not letting anybody behind. homeless or uneducated
And America doesn't care much about either (having everybody have a safe sleeping place, or access to a good highschool education)
I rather like the Left, but they too are elitist, living in a luxury apartment, and not caring about the weaker half of the population
The Left won't solve America's problems either
@MichaelRoth @Sundae_Gurl There are people who talk the talk, and people who walk the walk, and there are plenty of both
I can assure you there are lots of people who care about the homeless and public education and are working tirelessly to help in the best ways they know how
There’s not enough of us or money to hire more. I love sports and TV/movies, but our priorities have been skewed for a while — teachers deserve more; schools deserve more; libraries deserve more; foster kids deserve more
Yeah, but that "more" is spent on luxury items instead of highschools or social housing
So apparently u're wrong with ur assumption that there's "plenty" of people caring about the aforementioned subjects
I hear basically NOTHING about people wanting to abolish homelessness or "bad quality" highschools
Sorry, it's just too few
@MichaelRoth @Sundae_Gurl I agree with you. Both “too few” and not nearly enough media coverage to promote those few people making efforts.
I’m not sure where you live, but I would bet there are organizations of people working to improve public schools
I live in Berlin, Germany
In the last 10 years rents exploded
The weaker half of the population virtually cannot find an apartment
The other half of the population drives around with 100000€-cars
In the news they barely talk about it
The solution is state-owned 500€-rent-apartments
The state has to take a huge credit
Build as many as needed
Pay back the credit over 30 years with the rents
But nobody comes up with sth like that
That's a nice article
But they're too few
And too weak
And anyway, I'd put the emphasis on housing, not on education
I think education will (hopefully) indirectly anyway increase manifoldly soon because of smartphones
@MichaelRoth @Sundae_Gurl I think there’s more people than we think, because they are generally not included in commercial media
for example, here’s a lot of people making a lot of noise, but no one hears them

To be honest, my priority is not education. I think smartphones are (luckily) solving that virtually by themselves now. Though it'll takes another 3 to 4 decades until the whole planet has at least a highschool degree
My priority is the housing crisis. I firmly believe, there must be free (or heavily subsidized 500$-) apartments
Once everybody is in that "safety" 90% of problems (violence, drugs, suicides, etc) will cease
