There is a man living under a bridge, in that pile of stuff. What you see, is his home.

10. We have not lost the war of poverty

because it's never been fought.
It's never been fought by all of us, in a committed, persevering way.
If you have made peace with any of this suffering, and a lot of people have who don't post here, all I have to say is the lake of fire is waiting . . . all you have to do is die.
This nation remains poor because there has been no national commitment to end poverty yet.
A commitment is ongoing, it doesn't go out of fashion or become muted because of political concerns.
And that's what's necessary here.
