The facts are clear, we only need to do 3 things to practically eliminate poverty.
Graduate high school
work full time
don't make babies until youre 21.
Simplistic solutions for simplistic people
As expected, graduation rates are higher in blue states, and they are in red
The US teen birth rate (births per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19 years) has been declining since 1991.
As of December 2022, there were 131.81 million full-time employees in the United States. This is an increase from December 2021, when there were 129.82 million full-time employees.
Based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 400,000 Americans work two full-time jobs. In September 2022, 4.9% of all the more than 164 million US workers held two or more job positions, over 7.7 million

"Simplistic solutions for simplistic people"
If that's not an effective solution, please support that. I posted the data from the Brookings institution supporting that. You dismiss it as simplistic, with zero evidence?
Sorry, it's not a lame solution, just because you happen to say so. Show me what you base that conclusion on, or else you made it up.
It is simple. That doesn't mean it doesn't work. Turning on a light by flipping a switch is pretty simple. That doesn't mean it doesn't work.
Here's what also sounds simple... cure poverty by giving money to poor people. We've done that. It sounds simple. The data is also clear on that. It doesn't work.
"The US teen birth rate (births per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19 years) has been declining since 1991."
Doesn't mention fatherlessness. Especially among blacks.

no. it applies to, and has been proven to work for, all races. But blacks need it more then some other races. where didn’t say it would only apply to blacks?
You seem very pathetically desperate to keep it a secret that these simple steps would be so helpful to blacks. We can only wonder what your motivation is.
I’m responding to data from the Brookings Institute, and as far as i know, the data has never been debunked. So if that’s true, why are you so adamantly opposed to simple rules which have been proven to help so many people avoid poverty? why are you so desperate to ignore them?
I am not suggesting these rules because i “want” them to be the answer. I suggest them because the data shows there’s a great chance they “are” the answer.
Seems like you’re not necessarily interested in certain solutions. Why is that? Please explain. Sure sounds like you have a motive other than helping poor people. Not sure what else it could be.

Here's what I said earlier...
"The Brookings Institute found that following 3 simple steps ( regardless of race) drastically reduces poverty rates."
Then, I also said this:
" Regardless of race, people who follow these unbelievably simple rules, have extremely low poverty rates."
From that, you somehow accuse me of saying "your 3 step plan only applies to blacks"
I said multiple times it applies to all races. But that's not enough for it to sink in with you.
Wayne, there aren't 5 people on the planet Earth who would read my posts that I cited here, and accuse me of saying it only applies to blacks. I just don't know what else to say, you just can't keep up with very simple things. It doesn't matter what I say, you hear what you want to hear. Like Pete.
Good luck with that.

Poor victim
Get back to me when you find a way to get people to do that.
Until then you might as well have more deep thoughts that will never happen to most people like:
Regardless of race, people who inherit a fortune are wealthy.
Since you referenced me, it’s obvious that you hid from the questions I posed in the other thread because they expose the fallacy of your simplistic plan.
You’ve admitted that some Asians do well, some do not.
However “Blacks” in your mind, a monolithic totally homogenous group, do not.
Why do some Asians do better than others, is it cultural or genetic?
What about the circumstances that led them to arrive in America
Did some arrive here under different immigration conditions?
What was the societal status of the immigrants family in the place they left?
What is their societal status now?
Now do blacks, same questions
