There is always going to be folks not doing well doing behaviors that cap the ways towards a better life if they stand flat footed and make no changes for the better. For some reason these behaviors been more acceptable over the years by folks as long as it’s not in their back yard.
Interestingly there is a growing Elite group of educated or getting educated, pretty well off or family is pretty well off folks with not many problems they have seen or deal with head on. They “tend” to live away from and don’t go near Lower income neighborhoods with people having tough problems because they are living in a safe neighborhood likely by a city of some size away from the Southern Border.
A large group of these folks come up with views that raising certain levels or crime are acceptable, cops cause problems also, raising a child single parent is no big deal, legalizing drugs is fine, legalizing gambling is fine, we need to keep assisting those on welfare and even give them more, we need to let in and take care of folks crossing the border illegally, “a” just happens and it’s a right and a choice, we need to just give a failing school more money and that will solve the problem, saying the N word is acceptable if said by the correct person, tent camps in the street and parks are acceptable, groups are just taken advantage of and there is no way for them to control their own destiny because of this and that and this and that etc . They are willing to accept a lot of bad for some reason?
F@“K? No big deal.
But let’s face it - if their kids, spouse family members didn’t study or work hard, were poor, used drugs, said the N word even if they were the right color, gambled, had an “a”, were a single parent, were on welfare, or they lived in a lower income neighborhood with a bad schools with crime and drug dealers and/or right close to the border with a tent camp in a park their kids go play at then all their views above would go out the F’n window pretty quick.
F@*K heard in their home would be a big deal.
If their kid said “I can’t do what I want to do because I live in the US with a the long list of reasons why they can’t” the parents would have none of all that!
It’s good for them they haven’t had to deal with bad so far. Perhaps they should base their solutions on what they would do if their kids friends and family and communities were in those situations instead of a lot of tolerance, pity and “I care a lot they don’t” talk?
It’s a thing. But I may be off
