Our country is changing. The virus has made a permanent mark on our lives. And normal, will never be the same.
I struggle with how masks are doing any good when we're not wearing gloves and people are touching things. ? How you go into a restaurant or bar and keep your mask on?
I'm hearing that a lot of states are falling backwards and closing down again. Some folks are still waiting for their unemployment.... I hope there is going to be another check for folks. Some people are getting evicted now because they still can't catch up on rent. More faces on the corners with cardboard signs.
Thank you to all the people who have opened up their homes, renting out rooms, or parking an RV in their yard with a family in need. It's summer, tents are cool too. I don't know where everyone expects the homeless to go, when they just want to chase them out of the parks, camp grounds and cities...
People think that homeless people are homeless because of drugs. When for many, they became homeless because of life and drugs became the only way for them to cope.
I would really like to see rental property become unprofitable. I would like to see rents capped and forced to go down the longer a person lives in the unit. Rent should never be higher than a mortgage. In fact rent should be based on the minimum wages, so that everyone could afford to have a roof over their heads.
Apartments should be like condos in a sense. If a person lives in an apartment 15 years they should own it. More incentives should be created so more people can afford to BUY A HOME. When people own where they live they take a personal interest in their community and neighborhood. When people rent, if they don't like it they move. And the more people move around the more unstable communities become.
The more people own their homes the stronger the neighborhood.
Rent was never supposed to be a permanent solution for people.
We could slow the spread of the virus long term if we could slow down the movement of people from place to place. And reduce homelessness.
Crime would go down too.
How many hands touch the gas pump handle?
Why don't we become a nation of full service gas stations and reduce the number of hands on the pumps and help reduce the spread of the virus and create a million more jobs. ?
What else can we change and improve the new normal?
Blessed by God
