Nah, it's personal for me. My niece attempted suicide thanks to the stupid anti-child lockdown policies. They couldn't even get her the help she needed because of all the remote stuff. And rather be an idiot than an insensitive bastard.

Because there is so much empirical data on how lockdowns and social isolation affect children. I must have also missed the chapter on how to handle those affects in the parenting manual.
I do agree that our children are our most precious resource, but unfortunately even the best parents can’t always protect their children from anxiety, depression and stress. Especially if they are also under severe stress.

How about linking low income, lack of education and high crime rates to weak parenting?

You mean white cop out?
Most conservatives would agree with the statement, just not the context it was used in.
Don’t think Husker intended the ‘cop out’ to be racial.
That said, I do think the unintended irony of ‘blaming outside entities’ and ‘cop out’ in the same sentence is ripe following the defund the police movement

I really wish someone could explain rationally to me why they'd want to defund the police. I'm an open minded person, and think that's the dumbest idea ever, and would solve absolutely nothing.

Strength, inner strength, to be your own person. Adaptability, to be able to adapt to change. If you are offended blame your parents for raising a pussy.

Biden wants them to have more money and resources. If one takes all their clues from the worst ideas no wonder you feel like you have all the answers. I guess the opposite would be why does the right want racial purification? Some have suggested it.

Never heard of it, something your sources have pushed on you?

Yes, but that all started 400 years ago when certain parents taught their kids they were superior.
Noted....what grade are your kids in again?
OK so you can take your argument up with the CDC as well…Guess you’re just smarter than your experts.
“ Meanwhile, evidence mounts of the social, emotional and academic toll remote learning has taken on children, especially in already vulnerable, low-income communities.”
CDC Makes The Case For Schools Reopening
Federal researchers say, with proper safety precautions, schools don't seem to fuel outbreaks, with some exceptions such as indoor sports practices.

They can’t. The clowns will tell you police aren’t trained to deal with someone having a breakdown or running down the street swinging a knife. So they think we need social workers on standby. In other words, one more person to get stabbed to death before that person runs into a building and takes out 10 more. Even firefighters have to wait on those calls until police arrive. I guess they think superhuman PCP strength and weapons aren’t an issue if you have a masters degree.

Really? Is that why cities write checks to the families of violent criminals that resist arrest? Accountability?

Or it could have been the last 50 when they figured it paid better to just be a perpetual victim and ignore the rules of the game.
Pretty sure none of us were here 4 centuries ago.

Its a very conservative premise with an unfortunate name. Basically, assuming budgets are fixed, money should be rechanneled to deal with the root cause of issues, i.e. be proactive, versus the result of issues, i.e. be reactive. If the root cause remedies have positive results, then, over time, government spending and therefore taxes can be reduced. What could be more conservative than that! Society also benefits in every way.
Keep in mind that the US spends more than $100B annually on policing, and close to the same on incarceration.
Its part of the woke narrative to make criminals out to be victims. Its not intended to solve anything, its just a political statement.
Many politicians either can't, or don't care, about cause and effect from their policies. They just want to make a statement. Its the biggest problem with subjective governance vs objective governance. You see it with Biden's Keystone pipeline reversal, the pipeline is actually much safer than having the oil come by truck and rail car (part of that is being woke and part is just anti-Trump). You see it with Newsom's prohibition on youth sports as families travel out of state to play which is much riskier. Your seeing it with the decision to keep schools closed. You see it with anti-abortion laws taht make abortion potentially more dangerous. We saw it a century ago with prohibition.
It's going to be very prominent the next 4 years as we see policies based on identity politics, or as it is euphemistically being called "racial equity". (Notice equality, or opportunity, has been replaced with equity, or outcome). Biden and his staff have made it clear that they will be making policy based upon "racial equity".

Like a pussy who trolls a youth soccer message board and insults parents about the effects of a mental disorder which is obvious you know nothing about about. That kind of pussy?

What do you spend money on to stop a naked man running through the streets and waiving a knife because he’s on PCP? How about a man that keeps a knife on his floorboard, and likes to punch cops doing their job, after sexually assaulting a woman?
Who do we “rechannel” funds to? You know, conservatively?
