Greed is one of seven deadly sins. Its clear from America why this was the case.
The simple answer is: its not that my country can't end poverty it simply won't end it because there's too much profit in it.
That's the world, however, the Constitution of the United States does have the ability to become a Republic again and overwhelmingly end poverty as well as criminal behaviors in well under two decades without infringing on freedoms of said Constitutional Republic🎩
@@excaliburironforce9908that's not the world. That's America. Where is this quote from? Fight Club? "America is a business, not a country." From an European perspective....I couldn't agree more. Wake up! Because of US influence in the world...this can and will permeate throughout.
Not really. People have rights, and we have decided it’s hard to take away right of people that want to live in nomadic lifestyle. I’m from California. They indeed can go to shelters but they would have to abide by rules and they simply don’t want to do that. It’s funny when I see the supposed pictures of these places they don’t want to stay when they would rather choose a dirt floor with way more bugs. Short of committing them, there isn’t much we can do until the laws change.

Why do i need $6000 to move into a cardboard apartment.
Not just 6k, you also need proof of that 6k on paystub from one employer 😂
Because tens of thousands of other people would pay $6000 to move into that apartment.
Nimby's. You solve it by transferring zoning laws to the provincial or state level away from the city level. There's also a building materials shortage, but that one can be solved provided the economy starts to heal. The only way to solve it now is to strip Nimby's of their ability to enforce homelessness onto others.
The second reason is that housing is a speculative market. The best way to solve that is the first paragraph too, actually. The main reason Nimby's oppose apartment construction is that it lowers the property value of everything around it; once a market goes into deflation it becomes a feedback loop feeding into itself and the market would correct itself within just a couple of years.
Yeah, I think the city council is a little biased about zoning and what's built due to their own properties which brings up a whole issue of ethics but that is another thing. It also didn't occur to me til lately that property taxes and insurance is spiking everywhere. My parents have to spend about 10k a year now versus what was only 5k around 2018. I mean if your a small time private landlord I could see that being a problem but not an excuse for these large development and rental companies that are sometimes not even based in the county. Yeah great you built some stuff a be it cheap overpriced crap but you basically only built housing for people making over 60k a year and built no well designed 3 bedrooms for families. You can't raise a family in apartments built for short term working professionals and students.
Rent is 2k but I have to make 6k to be approved. I can afford the 2k but I don't make 6k a month...wtf man

COVID was that final nail in the coffin for the middle class. The cost of living has insanely skyrocket and its not going to get any better on a minimum wage anymore.
That was by design. Just like the high cost of vehicles has now made ICE and EV vehicles roughly the same price now because they stopped making inexpensive models. It is all planned, all by design and all about letting the rich destroy everyone else .
All part of the plan
Covid was a wake up call
You have not seen anything yet. While costs have gone up a bit they have gone up no where near as much as they have in AUD, CAD, EUR or other countries currencies. Simply put we have not seen the kind of inflation these other countries have. While 20% inflation is crazy those other countries are seeing over 100% inflation. US is so far the least impacted by it it's far worse in Europe and the rest of the world.
The middle class was never making minimum wage though. Minimum is not middle class by definition

There is one thing you misses. How corporations keep a country hostage. A quick summary: Governments main tax income comes from salaries, as they want to incentivize businesses to enter their country/state/province to get jobs and taxes from employees and a boosted economy. There is no nationalism, no group, its just cash, so corporations are happy to leave if their demands aren't met. Imagine if silicon valley decided to pick up and move to Spain instead. That's how they continue to exert their power on regions to force what they want.
an amazing point i somehow never thought about from this particular angle
The only way to stop them is to have every country turn against the corporations so they have nowhere to run.

During that time I lost all incentive to work, eat, sleep, and stayed up all night playing games and slept during the day. I had no friends. My family was judgmental and mocked my depression and the very pain they caused me, and wondered why I was “such a black cloud.”
I started having nightmares of kîlling my dad I was so mad at him. I came home one night and heard him belittling my little sister and lost my shit. I went out to the garage and beat the punching bag we had so hard while screaming at him it bruised my hands.

Being homeless with a 20$/h job is crazy...
Sadly increasing minimum wage to 40$/h won't fix the issue. Companies will pass the cost on to everyone increases inflation even more and you will end up being only to afford and buy the same stuff on 40$/h that you use to be able to buy on 20$/h. Worse part is you may actually end up buying less with the higher pay as taxes will be more expensive as it puts you in the higher tax brackets.

There is currently a lawsuit being filed against the National Association of Realtors that is trying to curb housing prices by 6%, on the grounds that corruption in the association has led to a 5-6% increase in prices to cover commissions.

To be clear, I do not suggest that all real estate agents are corrupt in any way, the majority of them are doing honest work. The corruption stems from the greed of wealthy property investors who don't want to pay anyone to sell or buy properties, so they artificially raise prices for the consumer
You know what's interesting is a lot of those investors are actually just companies. Id love to see how the judicial branch handles that issue. I think this is a wonderful lawsuit to flow. Do you know what the case is called???

This whole matter is a big grey area:
1. There's a big chunk of homeless people who genuinely don't have any interest in leaving the street and who genuinely thrive on chaos and crime.
2. The non-profit organizations that are paid to help the homeless often don't do anything to get them off the street in order to continue getting paychecks from the government
3. Lobbying groups are often paid by big companies to lobby for more progressive policies which help lower property values in cities so they can get property at much lower prices
It isn't a grey area.
They are homeless usually because of domestic or financial issues. They turn to drugs as a result.
If the government were to end the commodification of housing (a human right), and start building houses for the people, many of our problems would be solved.

My heart is literally pounding absorbing this information and then envisioning where I, and my family, are going to end up in this system.
1776 is where this leads my friend…
Imagine if instead of sending billions and billions of dollars to places like Ukraine, Gaza, Israel and various African countries ect, America instead stopped all foreign aid and focused on its own vulnerable citizens.
but no, we instead allow an invasion at our border to further impact our streets.
The interests of AIPAC always come first 👃
Imagine if we did BOTH.
@@disneyfan_1237well you’re doing two things at the same time. Our tax dollars are funding this and it bleeding the business dry.
@@disneyfan_1237if both could be done, then that would be ideal, but unfortunately it is not. It clearly has to be one or the other as shown by our congress. Our government should focus on our country's needs before getting involved in others' business. Sending billions to fund others' wars while not being able to secure our borders and take care of our own citizens is truly a mark of a falling nation that no longer cares for its' own people.
They won't* end poverty
They most certainly can end poverty with all the funding that went to wars overseas instead
George Carlin said this years ago. “Not in my backyard” turn golf courses into affordable housing!
BILLIONSSSSS to foreign countries, yet the average social security is 4x less than the average cost of living
Facts.. my dad drove trucks, and did miami real estate, put time into it.. and can barely afford bills, in a town where there is one stoplight in the whole county... he cannot even afford it retired on ssi, imagine if he had to get insurance and rent.. people are under paid
Billions? It's into the trillions now.

As a man who was once homeless after depression, drugs, and divorce, I can say that there is help. But you gotta want it. All that was required of me was:
1. Stay clean
2. Keep a job
The rest was completely up to me.
I know this might sound weird but how did you find a job after such a huge gap in your resume? did you go back to school? how did you get back on your feet?
I did the same thing about ten years ago. Except the divorce.
Thank you for being honest. This was my experience having known people that were unhoused.
@@Casvaleon Every city has somewhere that the homeless can go for support with things like finding jobs and housing. However, to maintain eligibility, you have to stay clean; they usually drug test.
The places that will house the homeless while they wait for work also drug test, do not allow alchohol consumption on site, and will also have a curfew.
There are even more resources for homeless veterans, but they are unfortunately the most drug/alchohol addicted and resistant to enforced rules.
When I left the air force, I lived with a friend. This classified me as a homeless veteran. I was offered a free apartment by the veterans rep at the local education and employment development center, but felt bad taking it from someone who may actually need it. I also qualified for a grant to use on top of my GI bill to go to school, and additional funding for food and gas while I was in school.
so glad you worked your way out of that. well done. hope things continue to go good for you. good vibes.
My parents emigrated from Albania where the home ownership rate is 96.3% since the West is apparently "richer". After watching this video, it makes me wonder whether the West is really richer.
No. We definitely are spiritually and emotionally bankrupt, too. Lonely country.
I love how versatile your videos are, you can talk about anything and everything in an important detailed way
Poverty is the worst form of violence.
As someone who's been completely destitute and homeless on more than one occasion, I would liken it to being in a prison.
Prison is way worse. I'd take a year of homelessness over a month in jail. Homeless shelters are like prison.@@gregsmith7949
I feel like going to a job is prison @gregsmith7949

That’s exactly how they want it. Poor eat the poor and the rich get richer.
As he thought, that it was a essential tool to keep the poor from eating the rich
only losers and drug addicts stay poor.

They can’t end it because too many people get paid to control it.
Importing a new homeless population certainly doesn’t help

8:12 Those aren't dead bodies, those people are alive.
I once saw a rich young man in a luxury corvette car drive past a bus station at a local mall with tip down and he laughed loudly at people waiting for bus and zoomed by. Just cruel. People aren’t going to change. I’ve been in both worlds. Mostly the rich world but being around cruel people (and not being one of them) I was almost pushed into poverty. Believe me I was. Every time I get out of my car and walk past those poor people waiting at bus, I remember that jerk. And wonder why people don’t change.
its called serpentseed readurbible
I’ve dealt with homeless people a lot in my time and while I understand objectively that not everyone who is homeless is a drug addict, they’re a considerably small minority compared to the ones who are, and more often then not that majority are extremely violent and mentally ill but refuse help continuously so I wouldn’t want them in my backyard either
Government is not interested in solving problems. It is interested in monetizing and perpetuating them.
The shiny, all-encompassing bureaucracy is far more important than the shabby, pitiful homeless.
Yet they’re the wealthiest nation on earth

If you subsidize bad behavior you get more of it. If you tax bad behavior you get less of it.
Also, why aren't there any blocks of flats in America? If you simply build up vertically, you won't end up angering anybody who doesn't want you in their backyard. There are lots of these in Europe. In poland, where I live, 99% of every city's housing is blocks of flats. It's much more efficient and cheaper than single-family detached houses.
yeah that won't work. every neighborhood being blocks of flats stacked on top of eachother. do you even understand what you are saying. you must be a pro socialist.
Because we live in a decaying country where all the rich people want is their big, oversized, ugly McMansions so that they can look down on the poor and feel more important than they are. I hate it, honestly. I’m tired of the greedy stuck up people if I didn’t have family here I would’ve left this country years ago 😂
They're highly illegal to build for some reason
@@SlashinatorZ Whaaaat??? Since when? I've never heard of it.
In most of the US they don't build more then 3 levels. Reason being they have to put two stairwells in for some reason instead of one. And having a fire escape out side the window doesn't count as a stairwell. This makes it so they can't fit as many apartments in the building because of this stupid rule.
a multinational conglomerate ship destroys an American landmark. poetic
landmark? it was just another bridge
In a way, based.
@dertythegrower it was the largest bridge used for transportation of hazardous materials like fuel on the East Coast. It's an extremely strategic target.
Moon is really on his grind rn, punping these out. Good for you dude!
The solution has been staring us in the face, but all these rich people keep stopping us. It is public in low income housing in high density housing but instead of having 12 people live in one plot, you’ll have one old lady living in her freshly built home.
Don't forget that California has had massive wildfire seasons year after year and that also made a lot of people homeless. Invisible People has covered some of these stories, it's pretty soul crushing.
They've made the situation so grave that in order to change the system you must be inside the system, or you can leave the system and start from scratch makes a better doable alternative off-grid
If you give people chances, Then those people could be your competition. They don't want competition They want slaves. Knowledge is power and this is why the school system is only designed to make factory workers and not future things that could help better man kind. they dont want that.
One thing I’ve been noticing in my local area every time someone moved out of an apartment they updated renovated to luxury standards
Like there’s some buildings where people have been living there for five years are paying like $1000 for rent and then their neighbours are paying like 3000
I often agree with the saying "eat the rich" but the only problem with that is everyone has a different definition of rich.
As they say, it is a blessing to live in first world countries of you are one of the elites and rich, even the higher middle class self made professionals are struggling juggling both dangerous stressful jobs and growing financial needs. And it is a curse to live in a mn expensive developed country if you are not one of those elites and rich citizens.
It's better to work for yourself than have the government put you to work and subsidize your earnings to everyone else.
@@_muse__name a single successful libertarian state. You can't.
Poverty is big business, billions spent not on the problem, but the salaries of those hired to "fix" it. I have come to realize most of the things in life are setup to fail. Take Psychiatry for example, if you get cured you stop going. It started with light bulbs, and all went downhill from there.
Add pyramid scheme-type industries to that.
Poverty is business??? No
@@serily4524 Yea look into it. There are plenty of videos on here exposing it.
@@serily4524 Then explain to me CA spending 10 billion a year on it. Lol open your eyes.
fun fact, the hostile architecture in america is also present here in spain, i witsh i could share a picture, but i don't have one i took myself and i cannot confirm if the pictures online are taken in spain
Why homelessness isn't ending:
1. greedy, selfish wealthy people who profit from bad business practices
2. people who can't keep up with financial gains and spending due to certain jobs that won't pay enough or can't pay a fair amount to employees
3. overpopulation where the more people there are, the more supply and demand goes up as well as labor costs
You would think overpopulation was a factor. But it's not. We have enough vacant homes and can build more. We throw away trillions of tons of food.
@@shwah8299 Thats not how it works, too much of somethin is bad, there needs to be a balance, you can't keep using up land just cause theres more people, eventually there will be a limit where there will not be enough resources to provide for the increased amount of people so long as people wanna keep that carefree mindset by having kids or having half or more of a population of people living in one country migrating to other another country that already has a fair amount of people living there.
It explains the current currency, the prices of things are so expensive cause of labor costs to hire more people to increase the manufacturing of the resources used for products sold to consumers. Supply and demand can also become low to the point where the lack of resources cause of stressed push to produce more common daily products.
Very impressed at the intelligence and thorough investigative details in ALL you videos....thank you for your works.
Before I watch: I was asking this question for 5 years now.
This is exactly the same situation in Australia. No affordable housing available because of NIMBY.
Never lease, buy the land or do nothing.

I work for a transit company in DTLA and deal with homeless everyday. Honestly you could tell they don’t want help. Even the people with mental disabilities. They are just killing them self.
