also, out of curiosity, are you black, Arch?
im not spanish im egyptian
Spanish?
its a highlander reference
Ah.
Well, that was lost on me. I didn't watch Highlander (as much as I should have)
im a scottish german mix
Ah. I wasn't asking for a full pedigree, I was just wondering at-a-glance.
whitey!
you seemed to have a unique take on the black ghetto.
i kinda just listen to them and take what they say for granted
honestly, any sort of ghetto is problematic.
by definition, a ghetto is an exclusionary community.
what about an abandoned ghetto? 🤔
yeah i dont think the ghetto is a good thing
Well, the Ghetto was originally a Jewish thing.
but i dont think the solution is as simple as "well stop the moms from getting food"
I do think the solution is as easy as that, particularly in the cities. Don't give them currency for food. Give them food.
i mean their wellfair provides them everything if they dont work
and they dont work
i don't think its a single-fix solution either,
But right now it doesn't work AND it strains everyone else who pays taxes
And as its set right now, theres no goal of improvement because these people have little incentive to
give welfare for the able-bodied a wind-down period
lets say, food stamps.
For a certain period, you're eligible for food stamps
they are deoendent on us. cold turkey is not the solution to this dependency when 4 of the 5 needs are what the dependency meets
after that period is up, you're instead sent staples.
Rice, beans, potatoes. Not left to die, but not left comfortable.
but thats the issue, they're dependent on us, and our current solution to it, is to give them more of the same, so they become MORE dependent
The next worse thing to an addict is an enabler.
you are kinda assuming jobs will just spring out of nowhere in these poor communitys where no ones spending enough money for jobs to exist and then your lowering how much money people have till they need jobs
Which poor communities are we talking about?
you know, the ghetto ones
Those are usually in the inner cities.
High crime and high population go hand-in-hand.
That's not to say smaller populations can't have problems
but in a big city, work is usually available. Especially right now.
Right now, we're in a deficit for employees
it actually isint a 1:1 ratio if you consiter europe
I live in Texas. Service stations are willing to pay $13/h if they can just get the employees.
its more high wealth inequality high crime
they're only obligated to 7.25
