She is African-American.
That is a mistake in US policy. They shouldn't let minorities hold too much power.
There is this notion by Liberals that shortcuts are suddenly going to solve all ills...unfortunately this is not how the world works...you end up making things worse.
In the US there is a specific life-blocker people can find themselves in. If you get convicted of a felony you will likely
never work a corporate job. Most places run a background check on you...so they don't get sued for
millions for negligence for hiring some felon who goes and commits some heinous crime while in their employment.
So this poses a huge quandary for Liberal political leaders. Many of the felony convictions are poor people who were prosecuted for grand theft or drug dealing. Now this isn't stealing a simple candy bar or smoking a joint..you normally would have to steal something over $250 or get caught with a few kilos of coke and be a repeat offender before a judge goes and slaps you with your first felony conviction.
Now how to solve this..
A normal person would say the solution would be to bring jobs to poor areas so the people wouldn't turn to stealing. We should encourage businesses to open up in these areas to give these people a good start.
However Liberals are not normal people and they aren't really into begging big businesses to hire poor people. Infact a better strategy to them is to simply raise corporate taxes and use that as a source of free money to handout. Those naughty businesses should be handing out more of their profits anyway right? Right!
But to them even that wouldn't solve all the problems. A better strategy is to simply raise the minimum you have to steal to get a felony conviction to some crazy high number and then the number of felony convictions will go down and these people can then get jobs!! What a great idea!! Let's raise it to ~$1000!! You'd really have to try super hard to steal $1000 worth of anything so this should give more people a chance to not screw themselves with a criminal felony record. Also just look the other way when it comes to drugs too! Plus you then tell the police not to chase after such "minor" things...heck just cut the police budget too to make sure they are just busy with "serious" crimes and don't have the manpower to go and investigate everything.
So what then do you think happens...
You end up creating a crime wave and drug havens...and guess what..businesses start moving out of the
poor areas forever. The nerve of them!! If you are the local politician you say "Good riddance!! or they aren't "playing for the right team!!" and "they just are turning their backs on the neighborhoods" and "
corporate GREEEEED!!".
A great way to ruin a city quickly.
Can Liberal Mayor London Breed list
any jobs her administration has brought to her poor communities to help them? This is what would help them..not a bunch of stupid yapping coming out of mouths.
No, instead of bringing jobs to help people the Liberals
doing the complete opposite and scaring away jobs to hurt people even more.
But this won't stop them from doing the usual next step. Hiring everybody as Government workers...and putting the city budget into severe debt as they will not be able to pay for it.
