Looks like dismissive drug policies and multi-generational welfare dynasties isn't working very well in Philadelphia.

Quite honestly, seems like in many big cities that are usually Democratic there is just a moral cancer where it's trendy to disrespect one another, there is no sense of communication, they have very few law enforcement or treatment resources because it's going to pensions for public servants who sit in their porches and go on vacation of the taxpayer dime.

Most urban areas seem to be a nightmare these days that glamourize violent rap music, encourages drug use, encourages people on welfare to have as many children as possible to get bigger checks from welfare programs.

To bad, America can't go back to the morals, sense of community and commonsense culture of the 1950s or 1960s.


It's diversity- embrace it.


Back to the 1950s? Are you kidding? Liberals tell us that those times were terrible.


Can you imagine "Leave It To Beaver" today? Ward would be absent. June would be a strung out, unemployed crack *****. Wally would be the local drug dealer with baggy pants, a bunch of chains, and a hat worn backwards. The Beave, of course, would be a transgender kid who has to see a shrink every other day, having been damaged by Ward's toxic masculinity (before he left the family and was sent to prison).

Has to be the most accurate post yet. Lumpy Rutherford and Eddy Haskell would be a burgeoning Gay couple. Eddy would be the angry, reactionary Gay.

Alcohol is legal and very easy to access for someone of legal age. Yet I don't find myself walking over alcohol bottles, anywhere as much as soft drink bottles, and I really can't remember the last time I saw someone drunk in public.

Philly has a city wage tax, that has not put them on a good trajectory.

https://technical.ly/philly/2014/12/...city-wage-tax/

Quote:
“The city lost something like 300,000 jobs from the 1960s to the 1990s. We attribute about half of that job loss to the consistent increase in wage tax rates,” said Wharton finance professor and longtime Philadelphia tax analyst Bob Inman. “It was really a primary contributor to the city’s decline.”

Meanwhile, in the news, murders are on the sharp rise in the conservative, Republican paradise of Tulsa. As of April there were 20 murders compared with 12 in April 2018.

You lost me at the bolded part.

What the heck does that even mean? Former "public servants" who now collect a pension aren't supposed to sit on their porches or take vacations? As for the "taxpayer dime" part, public employees and retirees pay taxes, too.

Who's next on your list of those to blame? Teachers? When you proceed to blame everyone for crime, you're blaming no one.

Yep, black on black crime seems to be fine with so many people. White person committing crimes against blacks, and that draws out all of the scumbags like Sharpton. Those vulture race baiters are just using violence against black people for their own benefit.
