What did you say? And what did you mean by it?

We could maybe eradicate the words "hungry" and "thirsty."

And if people complain they are unable to communicate after that, we could just eliminate the word "communicate".

What is the link, if there is one, between the words poor and homeless and hungry and thirsty?

I don't know. They're all adjectives?

My take on it, is that poor and homeless aren't representative of the biological framework. Hungry and thirsty are representative.

It would depend on whether these words were used as nouns, or adjectives

Homelessness is a crime in societies that rank themselves amongst the richest in the world, and yet those same nations do worse than many less well endowed nations, and they do that by completely ignoring the fact that people cannot earn enough money to home themselves. Homelessness and poverty are rarely if ever on the political agenda. And since homeless people have no means to vote there is very little prospect of this state of affairs ever changing.
Thus they are already eradicated from the political agenda.

Homeless ness is not one of the main stats on this list of rich cities.

Number One richest city Santa Clara plans to home 20k homeless people. Ask yourself how many are there? No one knows. No one is counting. But the plan make them look good.

If the central government concept weren't used, by societies, or by communities of people, because of the proof that discussion of central government's non-independence is versus central government's existence, would that help the problem?

If your sentence made sense, maybe.
All I know is that only a few politicians like Bernie gice a damn.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), tweeted, "In January, the child poverty rate increased by 40% in just 1 month – jumping from 12.1% to 17% as 3.7 million children slipped into poverty. How did this happen? 50 Republicans and 1 corporate Democrat allowed the $300 a month Child Tax Credit to expire. That is morally obscene."

The Center on Poverty and Social Policy broke out the new poverty rates for children of different groups:

All: 17%
White: 11.4%
Black: 25.4%
Latino: 23.9%
Asian: 15.1%


17% of CHILDREN FFS are living in poverty in the USA. That ranks it in the top ten major countries,worse even that Economically destroyed Greece; all Scandinavian countries, Poland, the Baltic states, all of Europe except broken Italy.
ANd the USA is supposed to be the one of the richest countries.

The 17%, that is referenced: should Bernie Sanders publicly say that they contain within them our discussion.

I'll rephrase:
should Bernie Sanders say, in public, that the 17% of children living in poverty in the United States contain within them the contents of our discussion, on this thread?

I once tried to do that with a 230 terawatt laser and it didn't work, you'll have to use a stronger one?
