UBI is definitely a goal of groups promoting a decarceral agenda. And as someone upthread said, public safety is being held hostage to further that agenda, but it's a bait and switch, these groups also profit from chaos. Their goal will never be to do what Baltimore is doing so successfully. And these groups are controlling DC govt.

But "work on themselves" is a very middle class and elitist attitude, PP.

Why don't we focus on helping people who ARE NOT behaving violently towards others? Why don't we focus on safety as a fundamental for all and remove those who are dangerous? On Maslow's hierarchy of need, safety is very fundamental.

Who is benefitting from turning DC into Gotham? [/quote]

We will be judged by how we treat the most vulnerable in our society. These people have literally nothing and you refuse to give them anything. How will they better themselves? [/quote]
