In the days of the Roman Empire if you went in and started feeding the hungry people, and if you started educating the poor, then those in power might be afraid that you are trying to steal power away from them and they will view you as a competitor. The people who feed the hungry, and who educate the poor, become very powerful in their community. And leaders who help the poor are always loved by the people.
The best way to help the homeless and to improve our society is by feeding the poor, and by getting them into homes. And even a hostel with a bed and a shower for $15 per night would be far superior to allowing people to sleep on the sidewalk. And we need to make every human being feel like an important part of our community. And you do not go in with cops and arrest everyone, but instead you feed the people and the people will come to you to eat. If you feed them a McDonald's hamburger then they will love you forever. And while the people are eating then you sign them up for all of the programs, and get them into housing, and get them medical care, etc.
And then as people get into housing, then we can train them for the jobs of the future, and can provide books, and an education to the people. I support at least giving free Community College to every American. And I support a good library in every neighborhood.
In the old days in America the men were the masters of industry, while their wives all did charity work, never underestimate the power that the wives had in early America, the wives were helping the poor and they were doing things to help the community, the men made the money and the wives gave the money away to charity. We need for the wives to donate colleges and libraries in the poor parts of Kentucky, etc.
And of course I expect Biden to help the USA and Kentucky on the issue of education and helping the homeless, and so far it looks like Biden supports educating people and getting them into housing. Biden also supports building high speed trains.
Salute,
Tony V.
