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.
if it worked, there would be no unemployment.
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.
that’s conservatism.

So you just want there to be more funding for this? I don’t see how social programs like this are conservative.
um… no
That would imply that 100% of unemployed people are referred to this program, or made aware of its existence at all.
no, just that, if it worked properly, they would be
laziness and compromises from the legislation to the execution ensure that these programs are sabotaged. everyone along the wya benefits is some corrupt way, and the people are the ones that suffer.
this is the method by which private interests sabotage pubic institutions. slowly, a death by a thousand cuts. then they slowly cut funding, watch the institution collapse, and then say, “oh, look how ramshackle it is. let’s built private institutions instead.” Then they control those with religion and science denialism. and refuse vaccines and discriminate against lgbtq+ students. and erode public trust in public institutions and democracy.
and that’s what conservatives want, because they never wanted or liked democracy because they want and like the hierarchical philosophy of society rather than a philosophy of equity and democratic values and distribution of power to the people. and, historically, they’ve fought every shift of power to the people and have even sorted a civil war over it. don’t think they won’t again.
