Here are my writings on current events in the United States.

  • Building Homes for Veterans: A Dual Solution

    The author explores the housing crisis in America, and how housing veterans can help to alleviate it. Suggesting the construction of veteran housing communities on available rural and suburban land, the strategy combines government incentives and private industry to address both veterans’ homelessness and rising housing costs, leveraging America’s ample land resources effectively.

  • Daycare Costs: A Hidden Political Issue

    This entry explores the significant financial burden of daycare, which deters families from having more children. It argues that universal daycare programs could address economic decline linked to low birth rates, suggesting state-level implementations to alleviate the childcare cost issue while supporting population growth.

Post-COVID changes introduced a hurried and irreverent process that diminished the significance of the sacrament, leading to feelings of anger and discontent during worship, ultimately prompting a reconsideration of his faith.
