@rachbarnhart I don't want to blow my own on Rachel's page but I pointed out the flaws with the whole approach in a book I wrote a few years back. The idea that the problem of poverty in Rochester is the result of lack of access to existing programs is lacking.
@TommyLoce@rachbarnhart Tom i think what you are referring to is harm reduction theory. It does not seek cure but tries to make harmful behavior less risky. Its controversial and you could make a case against it without the gratuitous insult.
@TommyLoce@rachbarnhart Hi cousin Tom. Leaders haven't dealt with persistent poverty and housing for decades. The poor are not big campaign contributors or frequent voters.
@NancySinatra My parents were democrats but like many they voted for Reagan, which they came to regret. In the past people did not always vote straight ticket. Things are I think more polarized now. It seems to me that what Nancy said makes sense.
@CountyExecBello Separation of church and state is crucial. The biggest supporters of prayer day were white nationalist who see Viktor Orban as a model for America.
