So you are quite literally proving my pt

2020-02-17 15:06:29 UTC  

Yeah but was it the welfare that made them bad or desegregation?

2020-02-17 15:06:30 UTC  

Welfare only exasperates already-existing behaviors

ending welfare might help a LITTLE bit, but at the end of the day....

2020-02-17 15:06:55 UTC  

Dessegregation is an entirely different topic

2020-02-17 15:07:05 UTC  

Ok yeah I’ll drop it

2020-02-17 15:07:05 UTC  

I think it's De-Segregation

2020-02-17 15:07:16 UTC  

Fuck off grammar Nazi

2020-02-17 15:07:22 UTC  

I'm German, yes.

2020-02-17 15:07:24 UTC  

Bash the grammar Fash

2020-02-17 15:07:35 UTC  

okay, gayboi

2020-02-17 15:07:39 UTC  

Lol

2020-02-17 15:07:49 UTC  

....I doubt it will fully solve the problem

2020-02-17 15:07:59 UTC  

Grammar nazis prefer the company of gentlemen

Simple as, letting poor people suffer on their own for their own actions is how you improve everything

2020-02-17 15:08:22 UTC  

On one hand, ending welfare or even going Yang's route by awarding a lump sum may eliminate the dependency and incentive to stay within the poverty line.

2020-02-17 15:08:22 UTC  

Reap what you sow

2020-02-17 15:08:51 UTC  

Some communities just have different standards for how low they’re willing to go

2020-02-17 15:08:54 UTC  

On the other, I expect the children would suffer immensely based on the poor spending habits and decisions of the parents.

2020-02-17 15:09:00 UTC  

Or maybe a cap at how high they go

2020-02-17 15:09:04 UTC  

Having a "minimum welfare" is achieved with capitalism

2020-02-17 15:09:24 UTC  

Reducing scarcity is the only way it is fixed

2020-02-17 15:09:49 UTC  

Any1 saying otherwise is a welfare cuck that needs real life to smack em in the face

2020-02-17 15:10:52 UTC  

The problem is that awarding welfare based on a certain income creates an environment in which families actively discourage their kids from achievement to preserve that steady rate of income.

2020-02-17 15:11:17 UTC  

Given that black income was almost equivalent to whites before welfare

2020-02-17 15:11:22 UTC  

Kind of proves my pt

2020-02-17 15:11:49 UTC  

And dont give me BS about "it only affected blacks" when welfare was explicitly targeted towards blacks

2020-02-17 15:12:20 UTC  

As per the campaign agendas of the time

2020-02-17 15:12:39 UTC  

Because Democrats were viewed as racist, and so they wanted the black vote

But these people are under the poverty line for a reason. Giving them full liberty to spend their stipend without restriction would be disastrous.

2020-02-17 15:13:06 UTC  

Simply funneling money to the impoverished doesn't fix poverty.

```These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again.
