Charlie Kirk shot in Utah (Pronounced Dead)

Again, no disrespect, but nothing you posted disproves the report I linked twice. -
Seriously, is he okay?

So is the report I cited wrong? How? There were 7.18 million job openings and 7.24 million unemployed people. This is the governments own data. Respectfully, your own position does not represent the entire nation. https://mises.org/power-market/us-now-has-more-unemployed-people-job-openings To the gang bit, did you read that article? It was interesting. It also said that rural gangs are not formed from the same cloth as urban gangs. -

We know. We saw it when Paul Pelosi was attacked. -

Your link is data from July whereas my story used JOLT data published this month. Rural vs. urban matters because they’re different environments. Rural environments are more geared towards independent living whereas urban environments foster the gang culture and territories. -

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/there-are-more-americans-out-of-work-than-there-are-jobs-open-for-the-first-time-since-april-2021-170652412.html Then can you explain this? Where are those poor whites located? I’d bet it’s in rural areas rather than urban ones. And yes, gang culture is a problem. But it’s not inherent to a person when they’re born, it’s shaped. -

Without it, where would they be? We already know that there are more unemployed people than there are jobs available in the U.S. -

Sure, but aren’t those higher percentages of the black population as a whole? -

I really don’t think they’re “glorified” as much as you think they are. Having a single-parent household in a crumbling wood frame duplex full of lead paint is a barrier right there! Substandard housing is one of the roots of the problem. I know they changed entry requirements around, which was stupid. But I don’t think it’s a bad thing to look at a students background and take it into consideration for acceptance! See above. -

Yeah, but why should it be hard? Just because one kid made it out of the hood doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue to work to remove these barriers. Your story about the school was very good. I suspect, though, that the kids weren’t taking your lunch because they hated you, but because they were starving. It’s just that easy huh? -

How do you stop it with little access to quality education and housing? -

The culture is shaped by the environment they were raised in. -

It’s not the governments job at all. But think about it: In the early 20th century, Black people were generally limited to mediocre jobs due to barriers to entry like limited education. In part due to policies like redlining, they were prohibited from getting mortgages in certain parts of cities and were limited to the slums. Now, when you’re stuck renting a derelict old house and working at the smelting yard for minimum wage, you’re not going to be able to leave anything behind you. Thus, your kids won’t have much. Black schools were historically worse than white ones, so the cycle continued. When you have no hope for the future, it’s easy to turn to living in the moment, riding with gangs and whatnot. About 8% of America’s millionaires are Black. Only 1% of Black Americans with a high school degree are projected to become millionaires. Even with a masters degree, they’re still the lowest chance of becoming a millionaire. https://balancingeverything.com/millionaire-statistics/ There’s no reason not to keep working on removing barriers to success.
