Universal Basic Income

[Exfactor]

You brought up a point about stability. Some women do not report when their boyfriends live with them or when their husbands come back because they would become ineligible for assistance either due to the man's criminal record or his income. If they were to break up, it can take a year or more to get back into public housing or to receive Section 8 vouchers.

It might vary by state and laws do change over time, but the only agency that came to our home was the local housing authority. They checked for whether or not there was a man in the home, not because there was a blanket rule against having a man, but because a man was not listed in the household composition.

Black Americans generally suffer from generational poverty; if it weren't for the social and political issues that were projected on Black Americans such would have largely been removed from poverty generations ago. However, you have a population who pretty much had to pick themselves up by their own boot straps. You had a population to come out of slavery who were basically told you are now free, with no education. The G.I Bill, Homestead Bill, Social Security, educational grants etc, which non-blacks were given access too, which built the current middle class; which could have taken black people out of poverty generations ago; were denied to Black Americans.

A large population of American's won't understand it, and will never understand it; until it appears more on their doorstep. Just like with the war on drugs, and when drugs were wreaking havoc in the inner city; no one cared. Now that morgue's all across the country are now packed to capacity with non-Blacks due to an increase in drug related deaths; now is such a "health concern." It's now gotten so bad in my state; the morgues are now asking funeral homes to store bodies; while police departments are now charging drug dealers with the muders of those who overdose; like the drugs dealers forced them to consume such.
