Idunno, making guns a lot harder to obtain would help a lot with both and so would replacing a lot of cops in both poorer neighborhoods and schools with social workers and mental health professionals 🤷
replacing a lot of cops in both poorer neighborhoods
That’s a band-aid on a broken leg: useless. Social workers and mental health professionals aren’t going to help when the problem is poverty. What are they going to do, make you feel better about not being able to make rent, or getting your shitbox 20yo Toyota repo’d because your hours got cut and you couldn’t make the payments? Fix the economics, and the rest largely solves itself.
Social workers and mental health professionals aren’t going to help when the problem is poverty
That’s where you’re wrong. Both social workers and mental health professionals can ABSOLUTELY help you reach out to get the help you need and make you better equipped to deal with and change the system, leading to a reduction in poverty. It’s less of a band-aid on a broken leg and more one small but extremely beneficial piece of a huge puzzle.
