I got nothing
The hell it can't.
Exactly. Anyone that thinks otherwise should see what they've accomplished in the UAE the last 20 years alone.

And who says they won't?
Just watched kind of a sad PBS video covering the "red paradox" in Louisiana. Second poorest state in the union, almost all of the state budget comes from the US government. There's rampant pollution all over the place.
Yet they blame the US government for many things. Some even challenge that the pollution is causing problems. They just want the jobs.
Nobody has noticed that the petroleum industry is one of the most profitable ones in the world. They've got enough money to pay billions of dollars in fines if they make a mistake. And these same company jobs are so bad that Louisiana is one of the poorest states in the country. Nobody minds that the pollution has killed many plants and animals around- and that cancer is all around the country ("there have been studies" one said). They think liberals need to back off... They will get healthcare if they really want it, don't force them- ignoring the tiny fact that most of them qualify for benefits under the ACA.
It's hard to feel sorry for people who just seem to want to be abused by corporations.
Then I started a small movie about "the death of Seattle" which starts out blaming the city government for not allowing police to clean up homeless areas. I browsed through the comments and saw much blame on democrats and socialists and the anti-fata. I could not watch it anymore. Nobody seems to consider what to do with all of these homeless people when you round them up. Even worse, nobody has even considered the cause of the massive homeless in Seattle- which is a problem in many areas where large and profitable corporations move in, hugely increase the housing costs, forcing people out on the streets. Quick to want to enforce laws, but not ever looking deeper into the problem. We see the exact same thing going on at the border, BTW, where thousands of people come to the US, and just turn themselves in. Everyone just wants to lock them up, take their kids, and send them back- not once ever asking why people knowingly come here in the first place. Or how we react to terrorists- we want to kill them all, not thinking that doing that will likely generate more hate as opposed to actually understanding why people don't like the West so much.
This country has some real challenges when it comes to where we are going.
The Democrats have an almost impossible task in convincing these people to sit back and think.

A lot of the zoning laws and health & safety regulations around housing are a huge burden on poor people. I understand why they have them and am not arguing they should all be abandoned.
Barbara bush book says she was no longer a republican and blamed her heart attack on trump.
I give it four hours before he’s degrading her on Twitter

You read that and that's the response you came up with? Seriously?
How does that change the tiny problem that many times corporations move in, hire a lot of high paid people, and all of a sudden housing prices are so high, few can afford them?
And why do constantly put so much burden on the poor? They can't afford to do anything about it. People like you blame them for a lot of things that are very much out of their control.
Funny. Brought this issue up a while ago and was vilified for it. Be curious to see if you get any traction.
I literally did the complete opposite.

In response to the issues in Seattle, yes. It’s a classic supply and demand problem. All of the various regulations limit supply which forces more people on the street.
