Even little me has a suggestion, or 2 or more.........start a JOBS program like back in the real old days of Democracy giving all the willing a place to work and make money - even if you have to bend the minimum wage laws.
......Stop the STUPID**** ZONING LAWS that favor the wealth disparity, racism, and homelessness. I don't say,"let them eat cake" BUT I DO say:" let them live in tents".
.......Put the Drug Cartel KILLERS of their addicted customers and coyotes that are caught into Japanese-style prisons for long terms. Attempt to rehab the addicted customers.
........Make POT legal and ALL others (except maybe for Native American ceremonies) and study peyote to see if it has bad side effects.
.....Control the legal pharmacy DRUG overuse and "pill mills" and greedy and lazy Doctors that overprescribe.
.......I think that would be a good START! And also worry about 2024. The future needs to be so bright that I will need shades!

Wow, a sensible post. What a shock on this forum. I would add to those jailed the American drug families (Oxycontin anyone!) who are currently getting a slap on the wrist
