Trump University?

No, to start, do not have babies while still in HS or shortly thereafter. (Not a Trumper)

Sure, sex education, free birth control, and abortion access will help that.

In Illionois, birth control and abortion isavailable via Planned Parenthood for free for Medicaid and undocumented or even for those who are insured but cannot pay their deductible.

Have wealthy mentors and friends — who can help you with networking for jobs, and with access to venture capital.

I think you need the poverty simulator more than most.

Really? I've watched family members do this. Where do you think they are now?

Do they offer a consequential thinking simulator in poor neighborhoods? For example:

I'm thinking getting pregnant at 15
I think I knock my ho up and become a daddy at 15
I think I will jump a turnstile and punch a cop. That will help my college applications.
Maybe I should get high every night when my kids are at home and see if that impacts them.
I am going to spend Wed night robbing liquor stores even though I have school in the morning (which I won't bother going to).
Maybe I will spend 10 years in public school mouthing off to the teachers and then complain that I can't get no job without a HS diploma or a GED.

Just wondering.

70% of people in poverty in this country are women with children.

How about just not making poor life decisions?

PPs including me are trying to figure out how people end up here so we're not constantly bailing water.

+1 This is a myth along with poor people not eating healthfully due to food deserts. We are going to have to do more to lift people out of poverty so they have enough hope to envision a decent future and make wise choices instead of opting for immediate gratification. There should be job training and certificate programs in high school that come with a guarantee of employment. Pushing someone into college who isn’t even close to competent in their grade level reading or mathematics is not the ticket to success.

Does it simulate getting high off my ass in a Mercedes, passing a $20 bill and then launching a stream of nonsense at responding officers? What about walking in to a bodega, assaulting the clerk, stealing a bunch of crap and then leaving only to be stopped by a police officer?

Again, take the poverty simulator.

No, but I'm sure your mother's episode on COPS is full of life lessons.
