Ever since the government of Denver launched a program that paid homeless people to work for the city, 284 people have participated over the course of the last year. Now, 110 of the participants have found long-term work as a result, 15 of which have been have been hired by the city.
Not to sound too Trumpian, but if the unemployment rate was still up around 10%, like it was after the Great Recession of 2007-08, it would not have been possible for Denver to have hired anybody.
Homeless or otherwise.
What we need for the Capitalists to do is to maintain full employment at living wages.
The so-called “natural cycle of boom and bust” that Capitalist economists talk about is a myth.
The oligarchs create the conditions for full employment, like they have under Obama and Trump, and they create the conditions that cause the recessions, Great Recessions (2007) and the Great Depressions (1929).
Natural law has nothing to do with economic conditions one way or the other.
Even though most Evangelical Christians believe that it’s all “Gods will and in God’s hands.” Poor, dumb, bastards.
