A return to the gold standard (or adoption of any standard, really) would solve a lot of woes.

Arguably true, and further, government subsidized lending has most likely inflated education costs, medical costs, and all costs for all industries involved, which really, is ALL of them hah

Also in some places it is illegal to collect rainwater.

Completely agree. Add a parent's own inability to turn off or at least limit their kid's exposure to media has turned the West into a bunch of mouth breathing zombies.

A prime example at how people fail to read common gestures because they were raised by people that didn't have the time, so they gave their kids over to the government and media.

If you are a parent, please take media out of your house. Your kid is probably looking at Nazi or SJW propaganda at this moment.

I heavily moderate my kids exposure, I've taken away all screen time during school weeks, he gets 2 hours Fri, sat and Sunday, unless he's been naughty, I punish him by reducing screen time over the weekend.

Since I did this some 3 months ago he is now reading a lot, playing with Lego, playing outside ...what a difference .

Parent teacher was today the teacher was super impressed with the change, he has moved up in reading groups and improved with leaps and bounds...

Piss that screen off it's destructive.

America is fine. Nobody ever guaranteed that everyone should or could own a home.

America has the same "problem" as the rest of the world. Too damn many people.
