POOR = BAD

POOR = BAD IS A MYTH.

...remember the mom who grabbed her son and beat him because he was with antifa?  More of that needs to happen.

The dominant male or female keeps the younger and subordinates in line, humans aren't that much different imo.

lol I'd hardly call what she was doing child abuse given the size/age disparity, more like tough love.  Point is she was not going to tolerate his behavior and was involved in what he was doing, what he does at some level, unlike a child waving what looks like a real gun around at a school yard.

This really isn't all that uncommon a thing.  Even in nature.  Can't tell you the name but you could probably find it.  The bull/alpha male of an elephant herd was killed, the juveniles became aggressive, tearing up the local villages and even attacking and injuring other elephants.  Long story short, they brought in another adult to be the alpha and all of the behavior went away.  The dominant male or female keeps the younger and subordinates in line, humans aren't that much different imo.

3ru----"I get it.  We should act more like animals."

The social moral decay is at a crisis imo.

...until people like you can see the forest for the trees we will continue to spin our wheels, so s.ad."

Many people seem to think that poor people are poor primarily because they are bad people.

Poor people are lazy, fundamentally and incurably stupid and/or evil (criminal), or intellectually deaf and blind.

Do you believe that every infant has an equally fair shot at becoming a billionaire?

What do you believe are the primary factors that grant some infants an ADVANTAGE over the others?

you are correct I look at all the murder victims and their families (the forest), you just look at those of mass murders only (the tree)  your path is narrow, do you consider those murdered but not in a mass murder, weeds that need to be pulled out?

When do we see a single elephant doing a mass-killing of male and female elephants using their { dominant? } trunk?

many kill their own kind far less often, so yes maybe we should be.  boys growing up with not positive role models is a huge factor.  I know you know this and are just trying to be unnecessarily argumentative.  You can pretend you don't follow the analogy but I know you are much smarter than that.  Some moms can fill that role to a point but it's not the same and we are seeing the results.  How many criminals are from traditional homes compared to broken homes?  I only bring that up for other readers since you know darn well it's a major causative factor.

I thought the point was obvious but I'll expand it I guess.  The aggression, lack of morals, self control, responsibility, is, in large part, due to the lack of a dominant role model to keep them in check and teach them.

This has escalated to the increased violence we see today.

Society is becoming more and more desensitized to the violence for a number of reasons. 

As the number of "feral" children increase the crime probably will.

The Walgreens raid is a pretty good example.  These braisen events will increase in frequency and intensity.

Consider this, lack of consequence for many who rioted and burned down businesses which they called "protests"

Now these organized robberies and looting with little to no consequences.  For many and the number is increasing there is no fear of prison or consequences.  The social moral decay is at a crisis imo.

there is so much that could and needs to be done. 

Society can't be fixed because there's just no honest will to do so. 

I'm not sure if it's still a thing, but kids would be robbed for their name brand sneakers. 

People have become attention whores. 

Then there's the hypersexual tv, video games, clothing etc etc  Drugs and crime are glorified. 

They seem to like these life styles and only a few rise above it, those are the ones who succeed.

Throwing money at a problem doesn't work, it never really has afaik.

To you believe the money that went to Baltimore was used appropriately?  Talk about a tale of 2 cities.

If you don't like the word alpha we can use strong leader, positive role model whatever, I find them interchangeable in this context.

Do you believe that every infant has an equally fair shot at becoming a billionaire?

I think your idea is headed in the right direction, but rather pay people to do good we could reward people when they do good.

a system could be put in place where a child/parent is rewarded for grades or staying out of trouble, perhaps doing community service, mentoring etc

this money would be kept for college/trade school, whatever.  Again I remember seeing it but don't recall the name.  High risk kids in a very poor area had the opportunity to earn money by meeting very low standards, like showing up for school and getting at least a C average, if you got higher the reward reflected it. 

they could get as much as $100, I don't recall the exact criteria or time frame.

I would like your idea to be more of a reward/earned system rather than an entitlement. 

There's a happy medium between the ideas imo.  

They system needs to be setup so you earn your way to the total freedom of your idea.  Some will not have the competency or ability to handle such a system as you described.

Do you believe that every infant has an equally fair shot at becoming a billionaire?

You might actually be surprised on how many people would say yes to this...

Would you care to make such a case?
