DC Tom Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Been to Buffalo lately? There's tons of abandoned houses and buildings that need to go Are they "old?" Because you said "old," not "abandoned." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 No. Broken homes lead to a state of "unemployability". Therefore, tear down broken homes. Attack the problem at its root. Excellent point. Thank you for pointing out my error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My bad! Really? You mean, you're actually admitting that words have specific meanings, and I'm not obfuscating with detail? You're such a !@#$ing turnip. You unmitigated retard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're such a !@#$ing turnip. You unmitigated retard. You may want to consider editing. If that term isn't already exposed as being totally racist, it probably will be soon. Us pale faces got to stay two steps ahead of the rutabagas or its going to get messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Been to Buffalo lately? There's tons of abandoned houses and buildings that need to go So they hire people to tear down abandoned houses and buildings. Then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 So they hire people to tear down abandoned houses and buildings. Then what? Those people will have jobs, and spend their wages, thus stimulating a shift in the demand curve, which then pushes aggregate supply, leading to more jobs, more wages, more demand, and more supply, which....

TakeYouToTasker Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) So they hire people to tear down abandoned houses and buildings. Then what? The property gains value, and is purchased by real estate speculators who build higher end housing, leading to gentrification, chasing the poor, the working poor, and various minority and immigrant communities from their homes, ultimately leading to charges of racism and attacks on the "1%".

This would be followed by progressives complaining that the only reason it failed is because they were never given enough money to really do it properly.

DC Tom Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 You don't think there's enough stuff to keep people working? If there is, why don't we let them do that work, instead of tearing down "old" houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if it works you would complain you are getting screwed because there's someone out there, supposidly, waiting to call you a racist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What in the blue hell are you talking about? We're three posts away from him complaining that people are obfuscating. We're six posts away from him complaining about the right-wing circle jerk. We're eight posts away from him explaining how he was only kidding the entire time.

Tiberius Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sure. But what does the government have to do with if? I could have a lot. Like how the Great Society ended a huge amount of poverty with a certain large population it could also do more in other areas, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
