ICYMI: Bernie Sanders: 'Working-class Americans did not vote for Donald Trump because they wanted to see the top 1 percent get a trillion dollars in tax breaks. They did not want to see 15 million people, including many of them, being thrown off the health care they had or their health care premiums double. They voted for Trump because he said: 'I am going to do something. The system is broken. I’m going to do something'.":

1932: “As the numbers of extremists grew, life seemed to diminish. “What was no longer to be found [..] was pleasure in life, amiability, fun, understanding, goodwill, generosity, and a sense of humor.”

“When Chancellor Heinrich Brüning’s government declared a long bank holiday on July 13, 1931, after a run on the banks following the collapse of the Darmstädter and Nationalbank, the economic crisis began to hit home. There was a “9% salary reduction” for civil servants [..] and higher value-added taxes for consumers"

“Do you remember,[..]that Döblin* said that time is a butcher and that all of us are running away from the butcher’s knife? Well that’s me, and that’s all of us. You too. I’ll run until I fall. But until I fall, I want to live.”
*novelist Alfred Döblin, 1929 novel 'Berlin Alexanderplatz'

Isn't this interesting. During Hitler's rise 'the price of eggs'..“People bitch like lunatics but are Nazis nonetheless.” In this case, the sounds of hostility were not reliable indicators.”

CW: Auspol. Stamps tell a story of decline
Day 17. Stamp challenge
Today’s stamp recognises the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless. The stamp cost 36c. The first line for the explanation for this stamp starts, “ Approximately one quarter of the world’s population is inadequately housed” I will not bother with what is said next because of the white hot anger I feel for Australia for thinking it was a good idea to set the international record as a virual aim for its people.
I do not blame landlords renting houses to a tenant where rent is almost beyond their reach. The decision to aid personal wealth though housing stock has been a deliberate policy of government. As was the decision not to house the unhoused in state owned property. Our recognition housing was of primary need to mankind in 1987 was lost until now as today, families sleep in cars and jobs go undone because workers cannot find a place to sleep at night.
When these stamps were collected we had no idea how different things could become in a few short years.
