[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 499848, member: 983"] I agree hard times make tough people. But generational poverty is something I witnessed full scale. I taught in a school I went to as a child. I saw many of the same families of my childhood still there struggling. Kids who grow up not knowing any different end up in the same spot. I’m not saying this would solve the problem, it won’t. But poverty is engrained and not always so easy to break out of. Kids don’t have a choice and by the time they should figure it out they’re so entrenched in the life they know they can’t escape. There was traveling escape room setup with poverty related issues. I wish everyone could experience it. I didn’t come from much and it was still incredibly eye opening with modern scenarios. Maybe my empathy and hope for the little ones who have parents who don’t give a crap is too high. Tough when you’ve seen so many. I wish everyone kid could break out of it but few really do. Gov’t help isn’t the solution, but I don’t know what is either. [/QUOTE]
