“You have construction workers who are idle, and they’re going to be idle
for twelve months, twenty-four months, thirty-six months. They’re not going
to be able to build anything. Let them rebuild everything. We have people
coming home from wars, coming home from prisons, coming out of high school
with no job prospects whatsoever. Let us connect the people who most need
work with the work that most needs to be done.” Van Jones
