I agree. This is exactly the problem, wage stagnation. What's the solution?

The solution is to work hard so that you are qualified for a better job. If your goal is to work as a cashier at McD for all of your career, it's going to be hard to earn a living wage. That is a starter job or a second income job. It's not intended to be a career.

Oh, I see. You don't know what wage stagnation means.

Nevermind.

Right. It's difficult to improve your situation when you have mouths to feed. So let's raise and fix wages for these jobs.

Maybe if you can’t support mouths to feed you shouldn’t have them. If you are limited in your earning potential and cannot support a family, don’t have a family.

Don’t you understand the barriers to that flippant idea? Erin and Keisha. Both pregnant. Unmarried. Erin is on a gap year finding herself before college. Keisha is also just out of high school. Working at McDonalds. She hopes to go to nursing school at the community college. Erin calls her mom and has an appointment for an abortion before the week is up. Keisha asks some friends. They say call planned parenthood. She gets an appointment. Her moms car broke down. Gets on the bus. She’s late. Clinic is closed. Can’t go tomorrow has to work. Calls back. Needs a paystub and ID to get a sliding scale price that she can barely afford. Doesn’t have her license. $30 and another long bus ride to the DMV. her mom can’t find her birth certificate. And on and on. Next August Erin goes to a private LAC. Keisha keeps working at McDonald’s and hoping she can get babysitters for her baby so she doesn’t miss too many shifts.

And the cycle repeats itself.

How about this: Neiter Erin nor Keisha should be having sex, risking a pregnancy that neither wants.

What about the men they have sex with? They aren’t accountable here st all? They are the ones causing the pregnancy. Why not chastise them?

Yes, they are responsible, but the women need to chase them down for support while their lives spiral downward. Better not to allow a pregnancy in the first place.

That's easy. Erin and Keisha keep their legs closed since both are too stupid, apparently, to use birth control.

Or the a-holes they had sex with shouldn’t have ejaculated so irresponsibly. I place the blame fully on the men.

Nice try. True, but as a woman you are stuck holding the baby.

All the more reason these men should be held responsible for their actions. They generally face minimal consequences for ejaculating irresponsibly. We should change that.

Mandatory vasectomies would prevent irresponsible ejaculation/insemination.

Of the girls I know, both friends and family members, who had babies in or immediately after high school, the babies were wanted.

Fully supported by the fathers?

So, you're telling us they wanted babies and intentially got pregnant?

No, usually by accident. But the girls I know chose to keep the baby, rather than failed to get an abortion like the hypothetical Keisha above. And sometimes the father was involved, sometimes was not involved at all.

They must've had to use Medicaid for the birth and relied on public assistance. What are their lives like now?

The problem isn’t whites. The ‘wealthy’ DC neighborhood I live in has affluent people of all races.

The problem is income distribution that has grown ridiculously wide.

It’s mostly white

Seems that which liberals labeled 'alt right' isn't so 'alt' after all. Welcome to what we conservatives knew was the truth, but you refused to see. I do hope that this climate continues because we are seeing the truth under the veil.

This is what I've long thought about DCUM - and some media sites. When common sense is labeled "alt-right," you know there's a problem. And that problem is that the left has gone off the deep end.

It's incredible, isn't it? Blaming the people who work hard, scrimp and save, and handle their money wisely. Terrible role models, all of them! Especially the white ones! Talk about racist...

But the reason that you are limited in your earning potential is not something that you created. It's a fault in our system. So we should fix it.

And the reason people are having babies they can't support? Whose fault is that? And please don't say it's the fault of white people.

It's better from the bottom. I taught in a school in the projects. Some kids were encouraged at home and others were not. Those who are encouraged have a much easier time. It starts at home.

In school, here are some ways to improve your child's success:
1. Be sure your child goes to school every day. That's important.
2. Support the teacher. Do not criticize the teacher in front of your child.
3. Be sure your child eats properly.
4. Put your child in bed on time.
5. Be sure your child does his homework. Don't do it for him, but sit with him, if needed--and you are able to do so.
6. Do not ever tell your child he is dumb.
7. Read to your children from the time they are small. And, continue to read to and with them as they get older.

Of course, I understand that poor people have more of a struggle--but none of these suggestions require a lot of money. They do require time and attention. No school can make up the difference. Teachers can try--but, it's much tougher for your child to succeed.

Minorities have less access to children’s books. There are tons of inequities from day one.

https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2015/01/28/us-education-still-separate-and-unequal

Why is being concerned about racism somehow anti-white?

Less access? Huh?

Maybe quit smoking and put that $10/pack towards books for your toddlers.

Kid's books can literally be obtained *for free*, if people simply ask for them.

Free.

FREE !


https://freekidsbooks.org


If your kids can’t read, then it’s your own gawdamned fault. Stop blaming white people because you were too lazy to ask for something free to help your child learn to read.

Or just pay a visit to your local library. Free.

This country is in big trouble. No one is questioning anything beyond the minimum wage, who is the president, and I don't know what else.

You don't understand capitalism, which isn't to buy more stuff.

It's to PRODUCE & SELL more stuff--USEFUL stuff, and services--and INVEST the earnings, not to waste the money buying useless things.

It's the poor whiners and complainers who buy useless crap that they can't afford and can never pull themselves out of the hole.

They need a big dose of behavior modification.

Not more free stuff.

That was the old-fashioned capitalism of the past. For the last several decades, capitalism has been purely about maximizing shareholder profit.

It is short-sighted and obviously doesn't work. But that's what we have.

It works fine.

What did you type your post with?

An Iphone or Android?

An Apple computer, a Dell, an Acer, a Chromebook?

Who do you think "made that"?

Obama?

No, capitalism made it.

You and the rest of the socialists have so much value and good created for you by capitalism that it's like water to a goldfish in a fishbowl. You're surrounded by it so it's invisible to you and you take it for granted.

If you disagree, build a campfire, and communicate with Pochohantas Warren via smoke signal.

Well said.

Self segregation counts too.

The small private school my children attended is more culturally diverse than public schools in the region.

Your child is completely surrounded by wealthy kids. There might be one or two on scholarship but please stop this insipid retort.

Not np. I grew up as a white girl in PG county where at my public school the black children were ill prepared for class and trouble makers, period. That was my personal experience. It hurt the class as a whole, I spent most of my elementary years waiting for a teacher/teachers to discipline or remove the trouble makers from my classroom. You know why I wasn't a troublemaker? My parents would have beat the "cr..." out of me, I was told to respect the other students and the teachers and I did just that .... I was afraid of my parents and while they never hit me or my siblings, I believed they would and that was enough to keep me in line. And I needed to be kept in line, as do most kids. Classroom time was a joke most of the time because our teachers had to make up for the homework not done (which everyone knows is a review of that days lesson) by reteaching a lesson the next day. Why couldn't these parents help their children do the homework or at least make them sit down and try. I will tell you that these kids had no problem doing the work in a classroom so I could never understand why they could not do that same work at home. My only answer was that their parents didn't do what mine and most of my friends parents did, we had homework time not right after school but always before dinner. My children go to private school because I lived the nightmare of going to school in my lower income lifestyle and I refuse to have them do the same. If you want your child to do better stop blaming whites! Get your child to bed on time, feed your children breakfast, have them do their homework, help them do their homework, have them read frequently, in short, be a parent. Make sure they are at school every single day, that is YOUR job. It is not my problem that you cannot do these simple things to insure that your child has the same advantages as any other child in this world. Get off your but and be a parent, otherwise do not have children. Stop blaming every other person for your failures.

The blame is shared equally here. Consensual sex involves two people.
