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.

      if it worked, there would be no unemployment.

      That would imply that 100% of unemployed people are referred to this program, or made aware of its existence at all.

      So you just want there to be more funding for this? I don’t see how social programs like this are conservative.

    Lol everyone knows about job corps. It’s a shit program it’s like voluntarily going to jail. Bunch of people stealing each other’s shit and selling drugs and cigarettes to each other and fighting. They don’t teach you shit and use you as cheap labor.
