Property crime is predominantly driven by poverty / wealth inequality.
I'd like to see you, with a conviction for a nonviolent drug crime and no college degree or tech experience, try to get a job and provide for a family.
The "rules" of the US are intensely stacked against poor people while allowing the wealthy to almost fail upward.
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoDo you have a solution for this? And consider tyat being poor that does make it ok to steal. It wouldn’t be that hard to stop emoloyers from asking if you served time and do background checks for this. In theory, you did your time, you’ve paid your debt to society. I feel like, at leastbin the US, you’re pretty much screwed if you were ever convicted of anything.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoI would re-up my forklift cert and go do construction. This would be difficult work, but would keep you gainfully employed with a roof over your head almost anywhere in the United States. It would not be hard to find a job in construction even with a drug offense and no degree.
