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.
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.
