Oh. Trust fund baby slumlord Kushner who has enriched himself in the WH takes the silver spoon out of his mouth long enough to insert his foot with a racist trope about Black people and success. 🙄 https://t.co/rMN01O9WQm

Haven't watched the video but as a general premise it makes sense.
Have you been to the ghettos and seen what at least the US take on welfare does to people?
You deny them the opportunity to do any work on the side (lest they lose it because they got caught working), deny them pets, whatever that nonsense with food stamps is (go on the dole here you get money in your account and are expected to make your own way), deny them a garden in most cases and compound that all with a shit tier education. All this on top of the "whatever you give for free is inherently less valuable" notion.
You get a nice line in utter dejection or maybe serious apathy and even those that do attempt to make something (easier said than done if you have no particularly easy opportunities or investment in your local(ish) area) often experience a crabs in a bucket concept, be it in general or having to try to drag people up with you).
This applies whatever your skin colour is, just happens there are a lot of black people in the baseline position that are in some ways visible (though in plenty not).
yeah, it's definitely a culture problem which I imagine predates welfare but is worsened by it in part. in brazil there's a lot of this toxic culture, criminality and sex cult etc in poorer regions.Haven't watched the video but as a general premise it makes sense.

No, thats what organized charity is about. Imho.The welfare system is basically designed to keep poor people poor while enriching the Government that runs the programs.
https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-charity-and-welfareThe difference between being entitled to reasonable amount of help when you need it or having to beg for help in the hope to get some help is IMO a huge one.
In brazil being poor is a "black culture" problem?yeah, it's definitely a culture problem which I imagine predates welfare but is worsened by it in part. in brazil there's a lot of this toxic culture, criminality and sex cult etc in poorer regions.
That may be the goal, what are the results though (we have good stats from before and after the ramp up of such programs, and key changes within them)? Indeed would you sooner adopt the US model for where you are at or go the other way and suggest the US adopt the model seen where you are at (or one of the many takes Europe has on the matter)?Social welfare is a system that allows for the establishment of minimum standards to keep people from falling into absolute poverty (becoming dependent on charity, finding it hard to get away from it) at the first inkling of an economic shock.
Kushners statement absolutely was racist.
True to a point, but not in principle.That may be the goal, what are the results though (we have good stats from before and after the ramp up of such programs, and key changes within them)?

So if it is not apples for apples and instead an ideal implementation vs reality of the one that got implemented then has it achieved a desirable outcome?
I dont think so. No replacement for personal assistance (no matter how bad). And thats always the costly part.I reckon UBI could work after a fashion if done well and with proper incentives. Might even be cheaper than now.
