> The problem is the poor areas in the US are exceedingly violent and basically succumb to victimization to explain why they can’t get out of poverty. If they can’t have safety and the culture is to just blame others and not try to better themselves, this is a perfect way to create generational poverty.
I think its more that if you want a straight-forward means to earn proper money without a degree then organised crime has positions for you. That's not a case of a "bad culture", its a case of opportunity.

everyone knows that one of the two political parties attacks _every_ piece of public spending, not because they wish to re-invest it elsewhere but because they would like to justify tax cuts a few years down the line. So it surprises me every time this line gets trotted out when they're in opposition. Are we not learning?
Furthermore; Funding Ukraine is a very cheap means of gaining geo-political outcomes that fit the aims of NATO. Every citizen of a democratic nation should be celebrating the success of the Ukraine armed forces as opposed to trying to defund them.
