The same isn't quite as doable today. That's the real issue. Small populations controlling a vast amount of wealth means they control many distribution assets.

Most people who come here today from another country with even 10x that amount are going to be broke in a week.

Even as a go-getter it's incredibly hard to land jobs in a LOT of fields right now.

No revolt and its worse. People stopped caring. At least in a revolt change happens. Whether good or bad real change happens. When people become overly passive self explanatory.

America hasn't changed one bit since 1920s, 50s, 60s, 70s. "It" just takes up the form of something else as history tells it, great change only occurs through violence. Like the good old adage, history repeats itself. However the American nation today is just weak weak especially generation Y. People just trample over others and accept it. It's going to be a while before that passive mentality is gone.

Probably occur when the FED stops printing money and every country nukes our bonds lol...that situation can't help but laugh. Although, yeah that'd be very bad.

If somebody's good with computers, they can do it on their own. Here's the ACS data, and I'm sure you could find a map of the rail lines to overlay on it, and then you get the computer to match the stations up with tracts, and you're done.
