3) Get money in people's pockets by getting them back to work. There are roads, bridges, airports, and electronic infrastructure that need to be rebuilt.
The list could go on. Give people hope and dignity. Then hate and violence will decline.

This was all occurring before Covid and there was plenty of hate going around then. One minor protest of an election (literally small property damage) and there's all sorts of hate and violence now? Were you not watching the news all spring and summer? When a good chunk of the population was getting paid more not work and burned multiple cities down over felons committing a crime and dying.
The left is full of hate and violence. It's how they took power now and in the past. The Dems are not the party of peaceful protest like MLK. They want to damage your property and business because they can't have one because they're lazy bums used to getting free ...

I borrowed my landlord's car. I drove out to the interview in the suburd of Midrand. I was brought into the office of Ulli Bahmann. He was German. He had built quite a company importing truck and auto parts for Mercedes. He was also a defense contractor for military vehicles. Uli told me that he wanted to start an export division. At the end of the interview, I was hired and given a decent job offer that included a company car (3-series BMW.) I got a work permit and a residence permit for South Africa.
South African companies had a unique aspect to their culture. A pub (drinking establishment) was always on the company property. At the end of the workday, employees were allowed to go to the pub and have a drink or two. It was a time to relax and compare notes on what had happened at work that day.
As I enjoyed these pub meetings a fascinating story emerged about my fellow employees. All had been young boys at the end of World War II. They were occupied by the US Army. To the last man, these people praised the US soldiers for their kindness and generosity. These invaders kept people fed, rebuilt schools, fixed roads, and got people back to work. The US Army provided health care to the German population. All these men had deep admiration for Americans.
In 1998, I was dating a woman from Tokyo, Japan. She lived at a hotel for Japanese women on Sutter Street in San Francisco. Several of the women told me similar stories about how the US Army had treated their families when they occupied Japan. These women had deep admiration for Americans.
Right now, we are in the middle of a disaster. We must keep in mind the lessons learned from the end of World War II. Instead of hate and division, we need kindness and compassion. This is not a political matter or socialism. We need to:
1) Get people vaccinated.
2) Get people fed.
3) Get money in people's pockets by getting them back to work. There are roads, bridges, airports, and electronic infrastructure that need to be rebuilt.
