The Defense Department is trying to quickly find vendors who are able to ship pre-made shelters to protect troops in the Middle East as the United States’ war with Iran continues.
The department is looking for information from private contractors who can provide “prefabricated, transportable, hardened shelter systems designed to protect personnel from blast and fragmentation threats,” according to a new federal contract notice posted Monday.
So we can have blast hardened shelters shipped halfway around the world in 30 days but homelessness is unsolvable.
Who said homelessness is unsolvable? We don’t want to solve homelessness because poverty is the lynchpin for capitalism.
People with no money can’t participate in capitalism though so it’s every company’s motive to ensure their workers can afford to buy things and keep the economy going.
Better to err on the side of people dying in the streets than to accidentally let too many workers be able to have enough free time to think about improving society and organizing or protesting.
If you give them more free tine they’ll spend more money.
This is America people don’t protest, organize or improve society they think that’s other people’s jobs.
Americans have had a long tradition of organizing and resisting. The 40-hour workweek was bought with worker’s blood. The apathy of the American body politic is a relatively new attribute, historically. My opinion is that it metastasized in 1971.
~I was taught all of this in American public high school and public university. Howard Zinn was required reading.~
I don’t care what happened in the 1900’s or in 1971.
I care what’s happening now.
We learn about the past to understand the present.
We didn’t learn much if we haven’t protested or organized in fifty-five years.
its also useful culture war tool, someone else to look down upon.
