Brick Houses: There's Always A Brick

Happy Frakking Holidays, Motherfrakkers.  The Rude Pundit gets all kissy with holidaze spirts today over poverty and cruelty and capitalism and all the other traditional christmas cheer, ending with this story of a homeless girl in the richest city in the history of the universe.  That's a for realz christmas miracle right there; poverty is a feature of economy--and our economy is an artificial construct that exists only because the beneficiaries fight and kill every second of every day to maintain it.  We could have any sort of economy a person could imagine, but this particular economy will not go away until those bricks get used for something other than building buildings.  Homelessness, unemployment, suffering are evil, and in our unimaginably wealthy nation, completely unnecessary.  Until each and every one of us understands, we are doomed to this atrocity.
