Laugh at leftist "logic"

Can you find any data that supports that claim?

Last year, the Maryland NAACP released a report concluding that “the ready access to a lifetime of welfare and free social service programs is a major contributory factor to the crime problems we face today.” Their conclusion appears to be confirmed by academic research. For example, research by Dr. June O’Neill’s and Anne Hill for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed that a 50 percent increase in the monthly value of combined AFDC and food stamp benefits led to a 117 percent increase in the crime rate among young black men.

Welfare contributes to crime in several ways. First, children from single-parent families are more likely to become involved in criminal activity. According to one study, children raised in single-parent families are one-third more likely to exhibit anti-social behavior. Moreover, O’Neill found that, holding other variables constant, black children from single- parent households are twice as likely to commit crimes as black children from a family where the father is present. Nearly 70 percent of juveniles in state reform institutions come from fatherless homes, as do 43 percent of prison inmates. Research indicates a direct correlation between crime rates and the number of single-parent families in a neighborhood.

Kudos. It's a good habit to get into, IMO. :thup:

"Socialists have mastered the art of regurgitating <10 word long simplistic catchphrases that make them feel like morally superior geniuses.

"system that prioritizes profit over people"
"trans women are women"
"every billionaire is a policy failure"

I wish I could just check my mind out like this and outsource it to the eternal Progressive omnicause.

Life would be so much easier if I never bothered to try to understand why seemingly simplistic things don't happen and instead chalked it all up to "evil Capitalism".

Bagged up food that's past its expiration date gets thrown away by stores because they're afraid of the legal liability of what might happen if they donate it.

What happens if one person gets sick eating a bagel that expired the day before they received it?

They could sue the grocery store that donated the food, or government regulators could go after them for making people sick.

It's a legal landmine that no one wants to risk taking, but when has a Socialist ever passed up the opportunity to blame "profit over people" for a perverse incentive structure the government itself has created for the marketplace?"
