It may seem silly on the surface, but solving issues at the root is often way more effective than treating the symptoms. In plain words: we're better off solving crime by having a kid grow up in a healthy household, rather than throwing that kid in prison after they commit a crime, who may in turn have a kid who grows up in an unhealthy household without a father.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoJust so I’m clear - you are then saying that Federal government spending on this is something you support?
- segfaltnh 3y agoI do. I doubt it cost much in relative terms, and it's drawn a lot of attention to the issue of fatherhood and spawned a lot of debate.
- kube-system 3y agoYes, and I wish we spent 100x on initiatives like this, that attempt to influence behavior for the better.
- Bnichs 3y agoIt's an line to draw in terms of spending given how absolutely nothing this is in terms of spending. This website probably costs about half that of a single one of the millions of shells made for the US military in a year.
