And when one stands back to look at the big picture...one wonders why. There are a lot of stupid people in the world. Violence against Asians is on the rise. Many say because of COVID originating in China. What does the Asian woman walking down Main Street USA have to do with it? Why nothing but some feel she got something coming to her anyway.

Ho hol hold on there. You can't be going against the predecided narrative the media wants to portray...

Oh but I can because I don't watch the usual talking heads we all rail about. :D:yeah:

It's the unintended consequences. When you offer what're to people to help feed their families, but the law *doesn't* provide that help for families where both parents are in the home, it tends to promote situations dominated by single parent households. When you also pay more for each child, it tends to promote promiscuity.

When you take away welfare when those single parent households obtain employment, even if not sufficient on its own, it promotes no desire to find employment.

Lastly, the 3rd and 4th-order effects are that single parent households where a strong set of values and a work ethic aren't instilled produces children who grow up to see themselves as helpless victims dependent upon handouts and raging against others. Essentially, LBJ destroyed the progress made by MLK and others.

true... but also false

We sent the stepdaughter to a private school for a little over a year. found it surprisingly affordable. Especially since parents were able to volunteer to perform school maintenance, groundskeeping, donate food to the cafeteria and even perform cafeteria duties etc. in order to receive a reduction in tuition costs. My wife and I, for example, received a tuition break by going to the school after hours on certain days and restocking bathroom tissue, hand soap, hand towels and replacing the air filters in each building's air conditioning system.

My observations were that while there were some kids from affluent families... most of them came from working class families who really had to stretch their dollar to provide what they considered to be the best possible education for their kid.

Im here to tell you, you'd think it might be a bit humiliating for a kid to walk into the cafeteria and see his mom cooking behind the counter with other moms... but since the ingredients and the cooking were mostly provided by an all volunteer force who brought recipes from home... those kids ate like absolute royalty. :haha:
