Americans talk a big game when it comes to kindness and gratitude. When you actually try to do it, the economic system rejects it.

I think it was Gandhi who said (paraphrasing) "When I feed the hungry they call me a saint. When I question why the people are hungry they call me a communist".

The wealthy understand that wealth is relative and they will not tolerate any measure to institutionalize any security for the working class that might make workers less compliant. They love to fund charities and causes where they can get a photo-op, but will never advocate for the only way such misery those charities address can be eliminated, via federal funding.

The American economy is a zero-sum game.

This is because people must finance their economy via private sector bank debt in the absence of federal money creation in the economy with velocity. Such debt can never net retire itself, so there is no exit from the hamster wheel. Only "public money" created by Congress when it deficit spends can retire private sector debt, which is what all of the nonsense emanating from politicians about "balanced budgets and payfors" is aimed at. Only the wealthy and their corporations get financed with public money creation.

It makes one thing very clear: They don’t want to help the homeless. They don’t want to help anyone in poverty. They want them to die.

The poor and homeless serve them as "examples" of what happens to workers who are incapable or refuse to toe the line the oligarchs draw. This keeps workers compliant and able to be intimidated. If the government-held up its Constitutional mandate (Article 1: Section 8) to provide currency for the "general welfare" and regulate commerce the people would be in the driver's seat, not corporations.

Keep up the pressure and telling the truth. Once again, you nailed it.
