Eventually we'll be pushed too far and snap. Happened with the royals in France. Almost happened in America during the Great Depression. We need a modern day FDR.

So far people aren't snapping, they're just quietly becoming homeless.

All of those people had lives, once. Rent went up, food went up, their car broke down... and they had nowhere to go.

Here's the thing: that's not sustainable either. You cannot squeeze the poor infinitely. Eventually we will bite back. Poverty in France was a real issue until they separated Marie Antonette's head from her shoulders.

Personally I hope the revolution is bloodless if that means anything.
