		<description><![CDATA[Marshall Brain (the How Stuff Works guy) solves this problem in his free online 2002 story &lt;a href=&quot;https://marshallbrain.com/manna1&quot;&gt;Manna&lt;/a&gt; with the terrafoam dorm building:

&quot;Because no one had a window, they could really pack people into these buildings. Each terrafoam dorm building had a four-acre foot print. It was a perfect 417 foot by 417 foot by 417 foot solid brown cube. Each cube originally held exactly 76,800 people. Doubling this to 153,600 people in each building was unthinkable, but they were doing it anyway. On the other hand, you had to marvel at the efficiency. At that density, they could house every welfare recipient in the entire country in less than 1,500 of these buildings. By spacing the buildings 100 feet apart, they could house 200,000,000 people in a space of less than 20 square miles if they had wanted to. At that density, they could put everyone in the country without a job into a space less than five miles square in size, put a fence around it and forget about us...

They clustered the buildings on trash land well away from urban centers so no one had to look at them. It was a lot like an old-style college dorm. Each person got a 5 foot by 10 foot room with a bed and a TV — the world’s best pacifier...

There were no windows anywhere in the building. It was a cost-cutting measure, but it also helped to make every room identical. The ceiling height was 7 feet throughout, so it felt very small all the time. LED lights everywhere — our room was absolutely identical to every other room in the building and had a single, bare two-foot LED panel bolted to the ceiling. There was the same panel every ten feet in the hallways...&quot;

Read the short story to find out more. It&#039;s pretty slick - except, you know, horrifying.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
The Supreme Court on Monday left in place a lower court opinion that [allegedly] invalidated a [rule] at a North Carolina [privately incorporated] charter school [at which women wore skirts].

A federal appeals court had previously held that the school, Charter Day, violated the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause in enforcing the requirement and concluded that the school was a state actor with respect to its student [school uniform].

“We observe that nothing in the Equal Protection Clause prevents [U.S. government] schools from teaching universal values of [women wearing pants and pretending to be men],” the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit held.

“But those values are never advanced by [failing to sufficiently enthusiastically pretend that boys and girls are perfectly interchangeable aspiring office drones] in a [private school that by the magic of federal judicial construction we deem a public] school,” the majority wrote, adding that the “[skirted school uniform] blatantly perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes as part of the [U.S. government] education provided to North Carolina’s young [strangers in a strange land].”

		<description><![CDATA[The issue is not where the homeless live, but the existence of the homeless. A number of years ago they were almost entirely mentally ill men, but now they include young men and women and families.

Here in north-central rural Ohio the small town of Mt. Vernon had two such camps, which were consolidated when one burned down.

Besides the rise of homelessness we have:

1. a rampant drug epidemic;

2. an obesity epidemic, a major of American are obese, probably half of them morbidly obese;

3. a declining life expectancy (!!); 

4. a declining height (!!);

5. a white population that is actually declining in numbers, and that is a minority in the under 15 yo cohort;

6. school teachers and medical doctors that groom young children for pedophiles and that mutilate them for profit and ideoology;

7. a military/intelligence sector that is engaged in numerous, endless, unwinnable war on almost every continent;

7. a government at all levels that is irredeemably corrupt and incompetent, most especially the courts at all levels.

America is a country in free-fall collapse. Homelessness is a problem and a symptom of collapse, but their are many others.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout all of extant human history from the time of Hammurabi until no earlier than 1971, “cruel and unusual punishment” meant and included torts like the kidnapping of a man’s issue and the unjust enrichment of his wayward wife.

Today, of course, it means principally, the purely hateful killing of precisely six million Jews (not one more or less) in Herr Hitler’s personal &lt;strike&gt;concentration&lt;/strike&gt; death camps, and secondarily, mandatorily federally imposed recreational public vagrancy and so on, indubitably under either or both of the Equal Protection and/or Commerce Clauses, provided, as everyone knows, by the Founding Fathers in order that federal judges, appointed by the Congress, would have power to directly regulate the conduct of men in the States.

To quote the learned Rabbi Reuven, demography is destiny. Could these great advancements of U.S. jurisprudence be because so many judges are now women, Jews, or, like the judge of &lt;i&gt;Martin v. Boise&lt;/i&gt;, both women and Jews?]]></description>
