** 13-Sep-2019 World View: Food and real estate
I agree that almost no one starves to death in America, but there's a
very big difference between being able to pay for groceries versus
eating in a soup kitchen. Food and real estate are two sides of the
same coin. Similarly, there's a very big difference between being
able to pay the rent for your own apartment versus living in a
homeless shelter. In another country, where people are living in mud
huts, perhaps real estate isn't a big problem, but people might still
be starving. The core problem, as in the 1930s, is that there's less
and less money in the world, which means that more people around the
world can't afford groceries, rent, medicines, etc., which leads to an
increase in suicide.
