       "The fact that nearly 40 million Americans live in poverty is a national embarrassment. But it’s also a choice. If poverty exists, it’s because we “wish and will it to.”"  #america #poverty https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/.../how-abolish-poverty

       @jaysonmassey I agree it is an embarrassment, I also agree that it is the result of bad choices of us as a nation... I wouldnt say its quite as reductive as you lay out out to be though... but more or less agree.

       @jaysonmassey I do not agree at all. Poverty arises for a number of reasons, but the biggest is low value of labor.The best we can do for these people is to:* Lower cost of living* Improve quality* Improve stability* Clearer signalingOur society does a terrible job of giving guidance to people despite many years of mandatory time-wasting "education."
