YSK That There's a U.S Gov Program That Gets People Jobs
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.
Lol everyone knows about job corps. It’s a shit program it’s like voluntarily going to jail. Bunch of people stealing each other’s shit and selling drugs and cigarettes to each other and fighting. They don’t teach you shit and use you as cheap labor.
When I was young I knew a bunch of people who went into this program. It is under funded, relies on methodology that is known to not work, nothing changes about this because of the outside interests that influence it. Many of the people in it are people who were pushed there due to behavioral problems. These people need psych therapy, not a bare-bones vocational camp.
None of the people I know who went in, or any of the people they knew in it, left and found work faster without them.

also that
before “but it needs funding!”
yeah, no shit.
to OP: there isn’t a problem with a lack of programs to address societal shortcomings, generally speaking. the problem is with the Fascist party pathologically defining and sabotaging hem because the entire philosophy of their party is hat anyone who isn’t a straight white male deserves to be poor and to suffer because they aren’t, and so they will do everything to make sure that “those people” will always remain poor and suffering. and their constituents, who also believe that and can consolidate their wealth and power at the top in their in-groups by continuing to elect like-thinking politicians, perpetuate this power hierarchy.
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.
