Well, if we are going to live in a Banana Republic, shouldn’t we have shantytowns too?

We truly won’t be a banana republic until we become growers and producers of mass supplies of drugs. /s
I guess we’ve got home grown meth labs and such but not on that scale. :0)

Nah. I think that requirement is bounded by the equator.
North of the equator, you USE drugs.
South of the equator, you MANUFACTURE drugs.

Is there Oakland-style squalor in Tel Aviv? The article you linked is about Eritrean asylum-seekers rioting. Two different things, no?

It’s really all about leisure time and disposable income when it comes to which side of the drug equation a country is on, I think.

“This looks as bad as the shantytowns I see (on video) in Africa.”
Well, they share the same demographics. You can take the african out of Africa, but...

The difference between the ‘poor’ here and the poor there is that OUR government supports them and their drug habits. LOTS of them get SNAP, SSI, disability, basic income (from leftist city governments), etc. There’s no need for them to work. And if there’s a shortfall, they just go steal from the better off around them or shoplift without repercussions.

"It’s really all about leisure time and disposable income when it comes to which side of the drug equation a country is on, I think."Yes, the rise of our wealth and growth of leisure time, in addition to government growing into an insatiable beast (EBT, welfare, SNAP, etc) which supports bad decisions by people and opened our borders to drugs made this possible. When people were going hungry in prior centuries, they knew what to do. You simply WORKED or starved.

What do you think that ratio is in Oakland?
That’s like saying whites commit crime, too, and ignoring the overwhelming relative disparities between the races.
Or saying, “I know some good blacks”.
You’re using the exception to make the rule. A common fallacy among conservatives afraid of being called “racist”.

Oh, good point! For some reason I thought this was Portland. In fact, Oakwood IS very black. Sorry.
