Quoted as a comedic aside in threads on homelessness and housing, where commenters note it lands on the same conclusion as serious articles.
A George Carlin stand-up bit proposing a war on homelessness, mocking how every national problem is framed as a war. It is a satirical routine about homelessness and housing.
“he also made a bit on homelessness and came to the same conclusion the article did” (HN, 2021)
Those DEMOCRAT SOYBOYS are gonna hate this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. Today we're joining the WAR on protein- ON THE SIDE OF THE PROTEIN. It's an idiocracy bit, the continual flanderization of the USA.
