“Wrap-around services.” Do you agree this is the problem?

[Anonymous]

It’s a progressive buzzword that roughly translates to: “how much money the govt can waste in the shortest amount of time”

Will wraparound services fix the problem? No. Ending poverty and structural racism is the only thing that will fix the problem. But it might help, whereas increasing criminalization does not help.

What's your policy suggestion here? "People should do what I think they should do!" is not a policy.

Help who?

Liberals will never understand. They simply cannot comprehend that there are many people out there that are evil. They are beyond redemption and cannot be saved, ever. Their brains and souls have been corrupted by the streets and will never be able to be repaired. We’ve already tried the trillion dollar experiment with welfare. The solution is to keep doubling down with more govt and more money? Nope. These people committing crimes are barely above animalistic instincts. No amount of spending is going to help them. The only thing we can do is remove them from society.


The U.S. keeps devolving and soon we are going to be like Brazil.

Yup. It’s also another progressive idea to make sure they come up with new 6 figure govt jobs that do nothing. All of those worthless lib arts majors gotta work somewhere. They all go to govt jobs since they’ll take anyone in. Gotta make sure tons of cushy 6 fig jobs exist, so keep making up new ideas for programs and departments!

Shorter PP: According to me, people who aren't like me aren't human.

I mean, you're 100% right. Criminals aren't like me at all because they commit crime and I don't.

And you can't change culture with wrap-around services. The community has to want to change. How do you promote cultural change in a dysfunctional culture? I have no idea. \

The first thing should be for the government to admit that these groups have been wronged. Next, reparations would be a huge step forward in addressing the inequality created by systemic discrimination. After 300 years of reparations, then we can see if we need to do anything else.

Interesting, how do you think reparations will help initiate cultural change? Would giving money to large numbers of people reduce their incentives to work? Or are you saying that if we fund people to stay home with their children they will do a better job raising them? do we have evidence that large welfare states improve societal outcomes?

Yes, we do. We also have evidence that Universal Basic Income is effective. It's unfortunate that you are asking those questions as though they were rhetorical questions (which they are not).

No, I'm not going to waste my time arguing with anonymous randos. You can find the evidence yourself, if you're interested. If you're not interested, that's on you.
