LANCE HILLSINGER - BUILD A BETTER BRIDGE: SOCIAL POLICY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY review:
I had the honor of being on the SAVAGED UNFILTERED podcast when Lance Hillsinger was a guest (ep 336, Oct 18 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0LJCZLkkggWvQBhjFI7ePk)) and we (Michael and I) had a great interview with him. We certainly are not in-sync on everything, but now having a copy of his book in-hand I must say: "An important book for our time, important things to think about and needing attention (need to care, but SMARTLY)..." One does NOT have to be Religious to believe in the concept of BEING OUR BROTHERS KEEPER, many Atheists hold that tenant too, the question is HOW DO WE DO THAT EFFICIENTLY, and to my mind Government does VERY LITTLE effectively or efficiently and we need Return to Charities being the main focus and function of Welfare (those closest to the people and the problems LOCALLY) but we certainly all agreed that Govt has a Role in protecting Childrens' physical (as they do in protection of all Citizens') well being from assault (Rule Of Law). So, bottom-line, I hope you'll give "BUILD A BETTER BRIDGE" from Lance a chance (yes, bad pun rhyme intended) and honest/open hearing (well, er, of course, I mean, Reading) as we move forward - as if America (Cloward and Piven) is Bankrupted, it will not be able to help anyone let alone provide the safety-net let alone safety-hammock some have come to call today's Welfare State. Plus, like Lance starts going into on page 18 the need of FATHERS (both Parents, to be in the Lives of Children in some-way-shape-or-form (but, of course, the best: A full intact Family)) to raise a well-balanced person and stats show those who come from a two-parent (if not, again, even fully intact, but where both Parents have positive Roles in the Kids lives) are less likely to continue the cycle of Poverty (but, human nature, as well as Jesus saying: The Poor shall always be among you, and how/why the Bradford Colony (long before Marx) was failing until what became the staples of America's Foundations were instituted were put in place almost all starved to death).

Again, bottom-line, we have to learn from history (both failings and positive outcomes) and what WORKS vs what is someone's INTENTIONS. Results matter (to put it back in Biblical terms: You shall know them by their Fruits [not their rhetoric]), and, IMO, the current system is failing. We can, and must, for those in the cart, and those expected to pull the cart, DO BETTER.

I SUSPECT THE #COMMENT WILL BE #CENSORED, so gonna share here...
in response to story: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-ambitious-packard-plant-redevelopment-plan-unveiled/ar-AA1RvrXM#comments (Packard Plant land FINALLY after 5 decades of PROMISE going actually be redeveloped THIS TIME FOR REAL?!?!)
I wrote, expect WILL BE DELETED...
Get back to me/us WHEN (aka: IF) Construction is even started and even then BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT FINISHED. What is this PLAN # 195 since 2000? and the 937 plans and promises of the 2 decades prior that NEVER HAPPENED?!?!? But I sure HOPE SO that THIS TIME real action vs more empty hot-air blowing promises! But, certainly not gonna hold my breath.
Does @FreePress have anything coming on BELLE ISLE potential development I heard discussion started on WWJ or WJR (forget which). I really think that a mini-rise of some Condos (or Apartments) could be ACCEPTABLE (just ONE) as well as next to it a mini-rise HOTEL (just one, limited number of rooms), ...
MY MOST CONTROVERSIAL CTP EPISODE OVER, adding even more SPECULATION/WHAT-IF CONTROVERSY and concern for WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED (Thank God things, as bad as were, WERE NOT WORSE)!!!!
Indeed a thought EXPERIMENT, a WHAT IF, a SPECULATION, that I forgot to mention.
WHAT IF someone other than Hitler was in Power and NOT RUSHED THE START OF THE MILITARY INVASIONS ASPECTS of the War?!?!? WHY MATTER??? Cuz, instead of NAZI's bringing on line (too late) at end of War JET FIGHTERS that very much could have changed the whole overall dynamic of BATTLE OF BRITAIN air-war they had them AT EARLY STAGE OF WAR?!?!? What about V1 and V2 - instead advanced guidance systems V3 Missiles that could HIT what targeted vs just launching and hoping they hit things?!?!? What about the scuttled at end of War V80 Advanced Sub (Stealthier, faster, could stay under water longer, out of port longer before needing resupply and refuel) and with all the damage their Subs (already FAR MORE ADVANCED and MANY than West ...
