Gun-Toting Kids As Young As 10 Car-Jack Over A Dozen Vehicles In Chicago The Trump administration is expecting that trillions of dollars in fiscal injections with trillions more of monetary crack from the Federal Reserve can boost the economy and revert economic activity to the "good ol' days." However, decades of Democratically-controlled big government in inner cities is learning that the promise of progressive policies and printing/borrowing their way out of economic collapse has yet to prevent social decay, let alone, socio-economic turmoil within American cities. It's why President Trump is sending hundreds of federal agents to inner cities as record-high stock market prices have yet to translate into economic revival for "lawless" communities where high unemployment plagues low-income households. The administration can blame the other political party for the socio-economic decay, or we can simply point the finger at decades of failed monetary policy, resulting in the widest wealth inequality in history. So when a virus-induced recession comes along, inner-city households with no savings, insurmountable debts, and non-asset holders, are instantly wiped out when businesses close, and layoffs surge. The chaos unfolding in Chicago is a perfect example of social disintegration. After years of worsening murder rates - earning the city the nickname 'Chiraq', there's now an armed gang of children carjacking folks at gunpoint. h/t Daily Mail People in the community are terrified about these armed kids: "I'm scared to use my garage. I don't feel safe in my neighborhood," carjacking victim and school teacher Alyssa Blanchard told Fox 5. Blanchard said her BMW was stolen and used by the kids to carjack a woman at Trinity Hospital. "I don't want to have to tell my kid about how some young woman was killed or shot with kids using my vehicle. It was traumatizing," she said. Blanchard said she was carjacked on July 14 by the children. "It was so instantaneous … I was just scared for my life. I thought, 'this is it,'" she said. Blanchard said she was horrified to see young children involved in this type of violent crime. Maybe it's time for local government administrators to stop ignoring the social-economic collapse of American cities uner their watch and cease the farce of 'defunding the police' - how is that going to make the scared people above feel any safer? While the president's plan to send federal law enforcement into cities is a way to get the collapse under control - it certainly won't solve the wealth, health, and education inequalities that have been building for decades among low-income households. Nevertheless, handing out free money, similar to universal basic income, won't solve the wealth inequality problem. What's even more ridiculous is Democratic freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's latest comment about surging inner-city crime is because low-income folks are "stealing bread to feed their kids." Deep structural change is needed; at the moment, there are no solutions offered by the administration and the central bank that will solve the inner city crisis. So, in the meantime, kids running around with guns in Chicago, reenacting what they saw on the Grand Theft Auto video game, is simply not surprising. Another thing to remember, some Democratically controlled cities are refusing to jail minors as police departments are being defunded, which allows criminal gangs to employ kids to steal cars. This is also happening in Baltimore....
"...which allows criminal gangs to employ kids to steal oil, er uh cars yeah cars." This is a blatant affront to the child labor laws! book em greta!
"Deep structural change is needed; at the moment, there are no solutions offered by the administration and the central bank that will solve the inner city crisis." I agree No social program or having diversity classes all over the place is going to fix the thug mind set of a large group of African Americans. This is a problem that needs to be address by the black leadership. Never going to happen. Recently The National Museum of African American History and Culture published a link the deprecated Whiteness traits - https://www.foxnews.com/us/dc-museum-graphic-whiteness-race The museum's graphic breaks the "aspects and assumptions of whiteness" into categories such as "rugged individualism" and "history." For example, under "future orientation," the graphic lists "delayed gratification" and planning for the future as ideas spread by white culture. Others aspects of whiteness include: "Objective, rational linear thinking"; "cause and effect relationships"; hard work being the key to "success"; respect for authority; "decision-making"; a "steak and potatoes" aesthetic; children having their own rooms in a household; and the idea that "intent counts" in justice. The above are traits of Whiteness and are to be avoided???
I agree with everything that is said to be associated with Whiteness. The sad part is that The National Museum of African American History and Culture holds these attributes of Whiteness to be unsavory. "For example, under "future orientation," the graphic lists "delayed gratification" and planning for the future as ideas spread by white culture. Others aspects of whiteness include: "Objective, rational linear thinking"; "cause and effect relationships"; hard work being the key to "success"; respect for authority; "decision-making"; a "steak and potatoes" aesthetic; children having their own rooms in a household; and the idea that "intent counts" in justice." These are all traits needed to be successful in today's world. TreeFrog - "Do you think the above traits are undesirable? If so what traits would you replace them with." It is a shame that black leadership has and continues to abandon its own people. Abandoning your own people is the worst of sins.
