Biden Harris Trump


 

Americans voters who don't want President Joe Biden to become the Democratic Party nominee need to chill out. I don't know what bothers them more, Donald Trump becoming President again, or Vice President Kamala Harris becoming President of The United States of America?

 

Americans who don’t want Donald Trump win again should find ways to educate, persuade, and mobilize, undecided voters, and people who normally don't vote, especially in swing states, to vote for Democratic Party candidates in the 2024 election.

People-Based Versus Place-Based Policies

 


If asked, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson may say he is implementing people-based and place-based economic policies. I want him to teach some Chicagoans how to conduct themselves in a civilized manner. 

These people need to be taught how to act like they got some damn sense!

These Chicagoans throw trash on the ground. These Chicagoans don't sweep the street curb in front of their house two or three times a week. Some of these Chicagoans "be all loud" with their music or arguments. Some of these Chicagoans let their children or grandchildren just hang out in the streets. 

Some of these Chicagoans don't use social media or email to be well informed about their community.

Economic investments in a disinvested neighborhood is good, but Mayor Johnson could also teach thousands of Chicagoans how to be good neighbors.

People-based economic policy versus place-based economic policy.

Among economists there is a long-standing debate about the best way to address inequality and poverty should Society invest more in people in their schooling and Health and Welfare or in the places where low-income people live this debate can be reduced to people-based Economic Policy versus police-based Economic Policy play Space policy is focusing on investments in places things that would maybe provide incentives for companies.
