• We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Opinion I've been saying it starts at home.

If you wanted to stop this sort of stuff you would have to have a system that didnt intentionally target the poor. Shit look at how the War on Drugs broke many families over low levels of possession for Marijuana. We cant intentionally make life harder for the poor, then expect the next generations to improve their lives. We have to decrease the wealth gap, and improve education if we want to see societal change. Other wise it will continue to be a perpetual cycle in the race to the bottom.

My grandparents grew up without electricity, running water, were illiterate, and only partially fluent in English. Needless to say, they were poor. Still didn't raise their kids like that.

My grandpa didn't see himself as an entitled victim. He worked very hard and his kids had a better life than he did.

Poverty isn't the problem. It's values and outlook on life.

I am against the war on drugs though.

I mean, you think? These people already get funds to stay home. They have programs for food, rent, phone, utilities, ect.

What else do you want?
Wish there were an easy answer. We need to bring manufacturing back. We need to repeal citizens united. We need a jobs program. We need free education and skilled labor training. We need a minimum wage that enables a person working full time to afford housing food and clothing for their family. We need Medicare for all. And we need a lot more.
 
Their parents are cans and probably blame their shitty lives on “the system” holding them down. No self accountability leads to people just blaming others for their problems, in the hood its the po po. Then their kids grow up hearing this shit.
 
Expand social programs / after school programs
Raise minimum wage
Paid parental leave
Ease of access to childcare
Getting rid of red lining
Typical lefty solutions, throw other people's money at the problem.

None of that would have any effect. Single parent households, lack of personal responsibility and societal acceptance of degenerate behavior are the root causes. The only thing that can be done is to penalize this behavior, not reward it by chucking money at it.

No, actual solutions, rather than the blame game your lot plays.

Maybe or maybe not we need those things, but that isn't why they are shitty parents and are raising I'll mannered kids. It's their attitude, actions, and values not their poverty that is causing that. You can be much much poorer than them and still not act like that.

The great depression didn't produce kids like that. Pioneer days didn't produce kids like that. Stop blaming this on poverty.

money is not the problem...money for nothing is. Even the great FDR liberal icon it was all workfare not welfare
 
I like how people can view an obvious case of horrible parenting and pull it back into the abstract and make it about the drug war.

There’s lots of single mothers out there, the majority of them don’t have toddlers that are actual thugs
Bro the cops made those kids act crappy and have no discipline not the parents fault at all!

It almost like we can look at events since the 60s and connect them to reasons why we have certain issuses. We saw an increase in the number of single mother of 6 fold since the 60s. In the 70s and then again in the 80s we had massive increases in the number imprisonments. Growing household wealth gaps even with a much higher percentage of women participation increasing dramatically. None of that has anything to do with societal issues at all, huh?

Where I live kids that age still say ma'am and sir. Actually adults do too. USA his a big country

The sort of shit in the OP's video is/was unthinkable, an utterly alien culture and seemingly like another country altogether. It wasn't uncommon at all for people to leave the doors to their cars and houses unlocked.

The left control areas where they are free to offer their solutions too (like major cities). But pivot to still blame republicans why nothing ever improves, they are in control.

What do you mean by these people get funds to stay home?

Or the GOP solution:

Thoughts and prayers
Blame unrelated shit
No, just stop with the welfare and lazy people will stop having babies just to get an extra check. Raising minimum wage will just contribute to inflation and eliminate entry level jobs. And of course allow law enforcement to do their jobs so people will once again fear the consequences of breaking the law.

Well since you apparently have an obsession with the abstract and correlations, I’ll add that crime has gone down since those decades.

More inequality and single motherhood please! It’s done wonders for our crime rate

So you are saying that we dont have the problem with society that op is claiming and things have actually gotten better. Very interesting.

Generations of poverty have lead to this downward spiral.
