There’s a cool government program that trains and gets people jobs. They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers.

It targets low-income young adults ages 16 through 24. Check it out, share it around to people who need it. It seems pretty unknown.

    no, just that, if it worked properly, they would be

    laziness and compromises from the legislation to the execution ensure that these programs are sabotaged. everyone along the wya benefits is some corrupt way, and the people are the ones that suffer.

    this is the method by which private interests sabotage pubic institutions. slowly, a death by a thousand cuts. then they slowly cut funding, watch the institution collapse, and then say, “oh, look how ramshackle it is. let’s built private institutions instead.” Then they control those with religion and science denialism. and refuse vaccines and discriminate against lgbtq+ students. and erode public trust in public institutions and democracy.

    and that’s what conservatives want, because they never wanted or liked democracy because they want and like the hierarchical philosophy of society rather than a philosophy of equity and democratic values and distribution of power to the people. and, historically, they’ve fought every shift of power to the people and have even sorted a civil war over it. don’t think they won’t again.
