This responsibility belongs to the state and BoD as well, for making laws that allow understaffing and underpaying.

Knowing how poorly these employers tend to compensate the staff, they may be happy to accept roommates in the accommodations.

We also need to organize for clean public transit; in the meantime, there's often plenty in bustling areas, as well.

There is enough housing. It sits unoccupied and sometimes disrepair.
- Comment on Minn. Officials Say They’re Being Blocked From Investigating Fatal ICE Shooting 1 week ago:
A top state law enforcement official said Thursday that federal agencies were denying Minnesota investigators access to evidence from a fatal shooting by an immigration enforcement officer the day before, preventing them from participating in the inquiry into an incident that officials have described in starkly different terms.
Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said on Thursday that his agency had withdrawn from the investigation of the death of Renee Nicole Good, 37, as a result.
“Without complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands,” Mr. Evans said in a statement. Cindy Burnham, a spokeswoman for the F.B.I. office in the Minneapolis area, declined to comment.
The dispute was the latest development in an escalating clash between state and federal officials, which has been building for weeks over immigration enforcement operations and fraud investigations in Minnesota, and boiled over after the killing of Ms. Good in her vehicle...
In addition to the killing of Ms. Good, there were reports of an altercation on Wednesday involving Border Patrol agents at Roosevelt High School, about four miles from the scene of the shooting. - Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 weeks ago:

This bothers me knowing that people with cancer diagnoses can't pay rent, eat nutritious food, have basic wound care supplies, or get to medical appointments.
Not that it's better where I am on the other side of the pond, mind you, just saying most of the world's priorities are seriously out of order.

So is killing them unless there's an actual revolution, and without years of laying the groundwork, you may be more unhappy with whomever seizes power.

That's not true at all. A fishy smell indicates an infection, sexually transmitted or otherwise, and a need to see an ob/gyn to obtain a diagnosis and prescription. The armpit smell is probably just normal sweat, it gets hot in the area.

Eta: and create a jobs program. If we add renewables and green spaces, it may rival the New Deal jobs program!

Because Standard Oil, Firestone and General Motors lobbied against public transportation, in the USA, so they could sell more cars.

Maybe the less well off have more experience with managing health conditions on their own.
Or maybe this post is trolling. Not saying it is or isn't. But it's definitely raised my eyebrow.
