How to solve the poverty in the USA!💖

I. believe in rent control

2. I believe it to fire an employers should work with the employees to send them to rehab, counseling, training etc,not just fire employees.

3. The mentally ill need to be given a safe place to live to work on becoming stable, we have enough money without raising taxes, if politicians weren't so greedy with high salaries of $100,000 -$400,000 a year, 5 times the average salary of the population in the USA.

4. Some people lost their houses because they lost their jobs, and the banks kicked them out. It should be illegal for banks not to help families who have financial hardship, not just kick them out. So now we have millions of kids who were traumatised by seeing their parents fall apart and their pets go to shelters, and losing their friends when they have to move.

5. Some people lost their car when they lost their jobs. And if there were great mass transits they can get another job! We ned better mass transits for the young, the old, the handicapped.It would save money in the long run.

6. The car industry should not be allowed to bribe or lobby to take trains, and busses away because they want to make more money and sell more cars and politicians can be bought because they have enough money for a car so who cares about poor people without a car to get to work?

7. Some people lost their houses because they got sick and couldn't pay the deductibles of thousands of dollars. I believe in Universal healthcare so people wont lose their houses.

8. If we want an educated country like Europe, that has free colleges. we need to educate those who want to go to school Some people want to go to school but cant afford it because the loans are so expensive. I believe in free public colleges.

I love you no matter if you disagree with these ideas!💖

You can't fire people? That's insane.

@MethDozer Most jobs have EAP's Employment Assistance Program free counseling offered by the employer. But very few employers take advantage of that. They just fire, instead of sending that person to counseling and fixing the problem, or giving that person more training. I think it is not very loving to fire someone who has a bad problem with alcohol or drugs or just family problems. If we just fire them their kids are the next generation mentally ill on the street doing drugs. It goes from one generation to the next. Have you ever watched What a wonderful life the Christmas movie? Where James Steward gets robbed by the bank owner that just kicks people out of their homes left and right. You believe they should be kicked out of their homes? I try to be a compassionate person and I would like to believe we are compassionate and will try to help people who have it hard?

@Carazaa FFS it isn't an employer's responsibility to fix your ineptitude. Especially some snapshot coming to work after shooting up.

Either you step and perform or you get fired for one who does. That's called life. Suck it buttercup

@MethDozer I think we need to be a more caring society otherwise there will be violence because people need to be cared about. Do you want more violence?
MethDozer · M
@Carazaa You're creating a win for losers society. No thanks.
Carazaa · F
@MethDozer OK then ignore the violence and blame, blame, blame!
MethDozer · M
@Carazaa false equivalency .


Want a job? Work for it. It isn't owed to you.

@Carazaa so, if hypothetically speaking you were running a business and an employee stole/embezzled thousands of dollars from you; you think it should be illegal for you to fire them?

I don't imagine your business would last very long... 🤔

@wildbill83 He needs to go to prison not get fired and go somewhere else and steal money. That makes no sense! I am not saying no-one can fire, I said that the employer needs to train, and take advantage of the EAP programs that all employers have for their employees who have depression, alcoholism, drug use, or a violent problem. All of that can be taken care of in their EAP program. If it isn't that mentally ill person might come and shoot up the place because they might feel they have been treated unkind. There is a reason why some countries have very little violence. And USA need to learn from those countries. It has a lot to do with their gentle nature of raising kids, and teaching treat others the way you want to be treated. What Jesus taught.

@Carazaa

Many employers do offer those programs; few druggies, alcoholics, etc. actually willingly accept them (if they had that kind of ambition & fortitude, they wouldn't be smoking dope to begin with...)

There is a reason why some countries have very little violence. And USA need to learn from those countries.

Name one of those countries; preferably one with a stronger economy and more opportunity than the US... otherwise it's a moot point

gentle nature of raising kids, and teaching treat others the way you want to be treated.
Failure to teach discipline, liability, consequences of poor actions/decisions is the reason kids go on shooting rampages, accumulate debts they can never repay, are so naive, etc.

@Carazaa So basically no one should be accountable for their own behaviour and ineptitude. They are all just children who shall be coddled.
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
And "Mental Illness" has just become a convenient excuse to blame incompetence, lack of discipline, poor morals, etc. on

No different that people who blame inanimate objects like firearms and video games for crime. Society has become to pussified and politically correct to blame the real problem for fear of being called racist/prejudice; that problem being people themselves, no accountability, self gratification, bad parenting, etc.

The real "illness" of society is that nativity, gullibility, delusion, failure to acknowledge the actual problem.
