While I agree with aspects of this article, I think it all starts in the home. When the family structure is neglected and children are raised without the benefit of both parents being in the home, the cycle of poverty becomes harder to break. There is overwhelming evidence that a two parent family leads to more successful and productive children.
Another band aid approach to a problem that has been festering for years. The utility is unreliable, unaffordable, and now it is admittingly unsafe. The leadership promises relief and then qualifies it with “There will still be some outages, but it should definitely be reduced,”. .
Exactly. What we are witnessing and living through, is a classic example of poor leadership. The power grid supply and demand requirements did not suddenly appear/change overnight. Lack of communication and planning stem from an energy supplier that is inept, corrupt, and backwards. The BPL leadership has to go. Privatize the utility and move forward.
As Vice President, Kamala Harris has two major accomplishments to run on and only two. She is a female and she is African American. Time will tell if those two are enough to carry the day.
Biden has been dividing the United States for 3 plus years. Now, he calls for unity. The only thing he has been running on is how Trump is a threat to democracy. Pathetic.
Given the economic forecasts from virtually every major finance organization, it seems the Government should be increasingly concerned or at least aware of the possibility of deep recession and down turn in revenue. Printing money isn't a solution.
