I don’t want to get out of the hood, I want to make it so that it’s favorable to the people who already live there.

True safety is:

  • Having housing security
  • Full healthcare
  • Free education
  • Healthy food
  • Mass public transit
  • Owning their workplace and running it democratically
  • Natural areas for leisure

It’s not a matter of if we want it. We do. It’s changing the system so that we CAN have it without being exploited.

YourConstruct,

This is my philosophy as well.

AA5B,

That co-op employer idea is a bit much. I’d settle for either:

  1. Strong unions
  2. Job mobility and competition for employees

A bit biased because my job and location has usually meant easy mobility and demand for people like me. Employers have to treat me well because I have so many other easy choices

HeyJoe,

I think they greatly overestimate what people not in the hood have? Most of those points are still not guaranteed for most people, no matter where they live, sadly.

VelvetStorm,

I hope we can get there. We could be doing it right now but the people in office can’t and won’t vote against making themselves rich.
