If you want to fight crime you reduce poverty. If want to fight crime you make each school in America a palace of learning. If you want to fight crime you eradicate unnecessary human suffering. If you want to fight crime you fight the origins of despair. You do not invade cities.

Fighting crime is a matter of cutting police budgets and increasing education budgets.

When they changed the rules so that felons couldn't get Food Stamps, recidivism rates climbed. Turns out starving people are more likely to turn to crime.

To them, "crime" isn't an act, it's a kind of person. A kind of person they quite literally want to fight.

If you want to fight crime & poverty, you collaborate with frontline workers, social workers, clinicians, and other community providers to assess the community needs. Most importantly, you listen, address the needs, and develop common sense solutions and revaluate when needed.

@marwilliamson Do you listen to the Yang Speaks pobcast? I think u both have so much in common. I wonder if a collaboration would be beneficial? Yang “if your neighbor made a good wage, he is unlikely to rob you”. Hence when poverty is diminished crime is dramatically reduced.

These ideas aren’t revolutionary. The thing is, American leadership has done N O T H I N G to improve education standards or eradicated human suffering. Quality of life in America has plummeted in the last 10 years... even average life span has decreased. Our gov is simply talk
