no, what the role of the government is, is to provide people with information on how to minimize their risk of getting the virus, which includes but not limited to limiting exposure to crowds, hand washing, sanitizing surfaces, optional mask wearing, staying home if you dont feel well, higher risk if old/obese/comorbidity.. that is all the government should have done, provide basic information. the emotional unstable general public demanded that politicians “do something” or else accuse governors of “killing people” and having “no compassion” which is an instant career killer, so in typical political fashion they caved to the deranged and gave them what they asked for.
I don't think you understand the role of government.
Your government shut down your economy, confined you to your homes, masked you, and forced you to get a vaccine or else lose your job, and you didn't get mad until gas got expensive.
You are the problem.
And all of those that are working from home for their companies, solved the problem. Next?

I got mad. I am still mad about the above and I am mad about gas prices.
Policies such as the war on drugs, led to mass incarceration. Hell, I'll throw you a bone and say Brandon is also responsible for mass incarceration. This decapitates families of their fathers with draconian laws, mixed in with the over-policing of their communities.
Also, the father not being married to the mother doesn't mean the father is never there. They can still maintain a relationship with the child.
No one is saying the father is never there. What is being said and what you are ignoring, is 85% of the males in prison grew up without a father.

No it doesn't and you have no proof. Otherwise you would have provided some.
"Even in high-crime inner-city neighborhoods, well over 90 percent of children from safe, stable homes do not become delinquents. By contrast only 10 percent of children from unsafe, unstable homes in these neighborhoods avoid crime."
"Even when poverty levels are equal, children who come from a two-parent home outperform children who come from a one-parent home." (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)
"Children who live in a fatherless home are 279% more likely to deal drugs or carry firearms for offensive purposes compared to children who live with their fathers."
Also, during the Jim Crow era, there was alot of laws aimed at targeting black folks. Which again, incarcerated fathers.
Jim Crow was in the South in the 1960's. What's your excuse for blacks not living there? The single parenthood rate for blacks in the 60's was ~30%, now it's 70%. I guess Jim Crow is alive and well???????
Couldn't be because the welfare state encourages birth parents to live apart, cvould it? Nah probably just a coincidence.

Hence why they are called 'class traitors'. Because they're working class, but they crack the skulls of their fellow working class because they are the muscle of the upper class.
It's called property rights. Something else you don't know about.

Make something else up.

Because it's about property rights. Sooner or later you might catch on.

Like the Patriot Act? Glad that Obama got rid of that. Oh wait he didn't and he's not on the right.
You're not very good at this.
