  1. A one-time investment that ends the #cost of #managing #homelessness in #perpetuity and homelessness itself is called a solution. No doubt about it. A #societal #scourge since ever. Done using the common mechanism of evil. That's called #sublimation. That's called transformation. Just call it #love.

  3. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

    As you look at Wendy, you may see her hair becoming white, and her figure little again, for all this happened long ago. Jane is now a common grown-up, with a daughter called Margaret; and every spring cleaning time, except when he forgets, Peter comes for Margaret and takes her to the Neverland, where she tells him stories about himself, to which he listens eagerly. When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is to be Peter’s mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    Peter and Wendy, ch. 17 “When Wendy Grew Up” (1911)

  4. Is there some FRED-type tool that can give me a time series graph of historical value of (poverty threshold divided by risk free rate) or by some reasonable proxy for risk free rate, such as whichever US bond rate is supposed to be a proxy for that.
