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

My take on it, is that poor and homeless aren't representative of the biological framework. Hungry and thirsty are representative.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 1:30 pmI don't know.

Re: Can the words "poor" and "homeless" be eradicated from the dictionary, and from all public speech?
It would depend on whether these words were used as nouns, or adjectives

What do you mean, by political class already having got it done?
Re: Can the words "poor" and "homeless" be eradicated from the dictionary, and from all public speech?
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.trokanmariel wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 6:34 pmSculptor wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 5:32 pmI think the political class got that done already.trokanmariel wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 4:54 pm Can the words "poor" and "homeless" be eradicated from the dictionary, and from all public speech?

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?

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.
