How much of our deposits are banks required to keep in reserves?

Why do people who live in 2million dollar luxury apartments with a quarter million a year in income still consider themselves poor?

Not schizo shit. Actually super important questions we should be asking ourselves, as opposed to deferring to an institution who has power because we give it that power freely

Last night someone asked me why homelessness wasn't a problem when they were young (boomers amright?) I was like, well your generation got rid of all the asylums and my generation was ok with it because we were told they were inhumane.

Then I went home and watched one flew over the cookcoos nest.

I cant believe I never noticed it before, but (except for that whole lobotomy scene) these asylums were basically a free drugs, get high, go to group therapy, interact with people, and be taken care of by the state care centers.

Like I thought they were all crazies in that movie, but now that I have lived and worked with homeless people in my life I'm like, it seems to me those asylum's were just a free get high centers. Their day to day life in them is not too different than the day to day life at a tent city, or on the streets. Surrounded by like minded folks, doing lots of drugs, sleeping a lot, only they get free showers, food, drugs and have beds in one scenario..

And we've all seen the John Oliver and Daily show think pieces on how scandanavia does it right by giving people heroin and drugs legally etc.

We need them back.

Also their architecture was great:

Because a house and 4 acres used to cost $50

And no one would try taking it away from u for growing ur own food. Opium. Or running a BBQ stand. Or not having electricity. Or 5 kinds of public bathrooms.

Oh. And people used to know how to get by without Amazon shipping banana mxnugget xtreme dorito crust pizzas.

Yes. This realization was also, comically, depicted in the Cheech and Chong movie where Cheech and Chong were committed and getting blasted on psychotropics all day long in the looney bin.
