I got a response from the mayor about my idea to fight gentrification?

I was asked how I feel about gentrification and it's effects on poor people..

I actually told the Mayor this..

On one hand they're people losing their homes and access to housing..

On the other hand..

They have come to America and have done several things to their detriment..

Number 1.

They have not left things in ireland, Scotland and Italy, things best left in picture frames.

Lol

Number 2..

They have specialized far too much, to Philadelphia and New York City, Chicago and Detroit..

They have failed to become Americans in the big picture.

3. They have relied on things lasting forever.

When nothing does.

And number 4..

They have not become adaptable...

Their only way of coping with change that negatively impacts their current ways..

Is to drink some more booze...

Make some more dogs run..

And go play some more poker..

And buy more lottery tickets..

And run more rackeering operations..

Which is in and of itself being negatively impacted by the majority of Americans and by legislation..

If you want to rid of those people..

Gentrification works..

It all depends on what your goals are..

Either way..

I don't give a sh!t.

    I can guarantee nobody finished reading that incoherent blather. I'd say most people quit reading around the time they're thinking, "I have no idea what this ignoramus is even trying to say, just that whatever it is, it's bigoted as hell." Long story short: You're not just an embarrassment to American education but an embarrassment to America.
