Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
I think the public has an absolute interest in maintaining safety for tenants of public housing, and yes, I think very many women, both poor, middle class, and rich, are extraordinarily stupid in their choices of men. If it only affected them, perhaps fine, although others should not have to subsidize them. But it affects their children if there is molestation, and there is, and I work with those girls and not with their mothers, but they have to take repsonsibility. IF they can't or won't, the public must. It also affects neighbors if there is public violence, drug behavior etc. It affects whether they can call a fire truck, or get a taxi to pick them up, or get groceries. Absolutely and positively I have no problem at all setting down and enforcing some very strict rules for damn near everyone, but especially those who are in public housing, both for their protection, and to lessen the burden on those making minimum wage and paying for them. mg
