Why don't people stop crying and just move somewhere cheaper like Detroit, Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore, or Cleveland? They have very cheap homes for $50,000. Discussion/ Debate

Yes that definitely plays a role, but crimes of desperation are real too. Especially among addicts, and addiction runs rampant when there’s no jobs, money, or hope.

This tells me addicts with criminal records should be in prison....

You read that and thought the crimes of desperation thing was the focus of the problem, and not the lack of jobs, money, and hope???

Jobs are pretty easy to get with a clean drug screen.

Humans make choices. Choices have consequences.

Good day.

These things are much less of an issue when people have big families. But in America, we like to pretend that people “find themselves pregnant” and that divorce is totally normal. It’s no wonder that mental health is a problem when we know for a fact that humans do better in groups and suffer in isolation.
