  1. This is where I was wrong about the last intended meeting with Blinken and President Xi. To see it happen in the flesh sends a wave of relief across the world. Mr Bemer, what is appalling and heartbreaking is the so-called fentanyl epidemic sewing a path of destruction across your country. This is going to sound like fake news, but I live in a country where this problem has been solved---at least from the community I live in. People are no longer getting attacked by addicts needing to pay for their habit. To see on American television beamed across the world of the walking Zombies showing flesh-eating bacteria making the skin on their limbs rot to the bone is enough to shake off any sense in what people are willing to do with their bodies, but a former Swiss President put in place a program that takes police out of the equation and offers drugs to the addicts via trained medical staff and provides them with safe-clinics where they can inject drugs with syringes provided by the government. To recap: there are still addicts begging for cash to pay for a night in a city shelter but they are not attacking others and especially old people for their money to support their habits. If the American government would provide the sick and often mentally unstable people with safe drugs, this would permit police to get back to doing their job and allow social workers and medical professionals to take over and offer safe havens for the addicts. Also; it is obvious capitalism cannot solve homelessness, but how about this as a solution? Why not set up a safe-city or a sort of 'campus' built from scratch in a part of the country that could use a job-creating industry? In the special-needs pseudo city, homeless people, gathered from around the country would be assigned a room with toilet and shower facilities and given food and clothing. There would be 'classes or instruction in helping people first get back on their feet, administering the medical treatment they need and once they were cognizant of their problems, a next series of 'classes' or instruction or something to help them locate in themselves a skill or community service they could do, then specially trained people in job centers could begin to offer solutions to helping these formerly lost individuals find employment or simply being permanent 'helpers in communities across the country. Somebody could have a job delivering hot meals to elderly people and that would be a great help to the community and give them a sense of purpose. It's ideas that we need to generate...
