@sebby61 @DDemocracy2020 childcare is expensive and especially difficult in poverty; can lead to abuse or neglect of children, whose resulting trauma can push them into poverty as an adult- this is not *always* the truth but it happens

[G. Pickett @gpckt]

@DDemocracy2020 the childcare-education-neglect system is also forced into a vicious cycle - the three feed back into each other

[G. Pickett @gpckt]

@DDemocracy2020 presenters spoke about people being more than just numbers - but tech we’ve been reading about works entirely on estimating what people are thinking based on their behaviours, and can indeed reduce that to numbers

[G. Pickett @gpckt]

@DDemocracy2020 point on enforced poverty systems-
my dad taught me that it was better to save for durable shoes than pay for many pairs of flimsy shoes:
But he also told me that some people simply do not have the money to save for that, and that’s the vicious cycle of poverty
