"What we need, in all cases, is effective politics. We might decide, as a nation, that holiday lets are important enough to make other people homeless, or to trigger demand for new housing elsewhere. We do, after all, need holidays, and coastal and scenic communities want income from tourists. But good policy doesn’t happen by itself. As we proposed in the Land for the Many report, local authorities should be able to decide how many of the homes in a village or town should be permanent residences, and how many should be holiday lets. Any second home, existing or envisaged, would need planning permission for change of use." https://www.monbiot.com/2021/06/28/the-home-front/
It could have been easy. House the homeless. Take care of the needy. Just like a mother. But that's what you were afraid of. Being an ordinary feeling human.
The last forty years have been a flight from the vulnerability of being human. That's what power wants to be rid of. That's what Hitler wanted - to ascend from his organic body. To build the super race that has no weakness. That's what Stalin hoped to achieve. Big square blocks of building to house the rifraf. Henry the Eighth wanted to kill off the womb of his children like a magical singular sperm.
Now America wants to blow up everything it can't profit from. Now profit is safe, hidden in secret locked up vaults. This is how men are to be immortalized. So, if you are human don't think this America or Britain will save you.
Power is a drug and it's got us in its prison.
