food, clothes, AND SHELTER

I was making oatmeal today.

Quick recipe:
Quick Oats.
Water.
Brown Sugar.

And read this on the web. Would really like to get the opinion of the Good People. Destroying homes rather than rebuild, that sounds silly. That's like throwing away my oatmeal, rather than eating it.

Tear Down the Ghetto: The Price is Wrong

The global capitalist system is way past recession,
beyond old definitions of depression; it has lost all cohesion and is,
essentially, beyond salvaging. Unable to produce anything but horrific and
perfectly predictable bubbles, incapable of tallying up its collective assets
to within any order of magnitude, the defeated organism turns on itself. The
latest scheme to redeem the system would bulldoze overpriced bubble housing -
destroy much of the inventory - in order to produce scarcity and eventual price
stability. Capitalist health through amputation - a solution that can only be
attempted a few times.
