This doesn’t pass the sniff test. Lead toxin?
Cause rich people took they stuff!
Cause the government pays them to.
The real reasons for group poverty: (1) generally low intelligence; (2) poor impulse control.
Nobody who is serious about getting out of poverty will fail. This country offers opportunities to everyone willing to work even at half speed.
If a person is poor, you can assume bad character.
What BS. The only lead issue is the lead in their behinds that they can’t get out to work for a living.
Because money invested in drugs and booze hos doesn’t pay much return.
does adversity breed laziness.....
or, does laziness breed adversity
“What research has starkly revealed is that poverty and other problems afflicting many black neighborhoods have a way of stunting the attributes needed to overcome them.”
Well, then we should see the same persistent, generational problems among poor whites. Why don’t we?
Because they think poor and imagine poor.
Another thing that predisposes people to failure is to have at hand multiple ready excuses for failure.
With a government as corrupt at this, did anyone expect the American standard of living/incomes and affordability would be increasing?
lol...
I'd say the lead poisoning in Appalachia is probably worse....yet are those people attacking others at will?....no....
and speaking of the poor, the poor exist in enormous numbers in places like India, and South America and Africa....yet do those young people go around shooting sales clerks in the face after facing NO resistance whatsoever?....do they shoot little girls while being held on their grandpa's lap on the porch?
a good number of the "poor" in this country are poor because they live poor...no manners, no politeness...no education...no respect...no saving money because they do not want to work....
Poverty is not a matter of money, it is a state of mind.
And poverty, like wealth, may be inherited, not entirely created by circumstances.
The necessary skill sets to accumulate and manage money are something that can be taught, but there are those who decline the apprenticeship, because it is “too hard”, or it is some kind of “surrender”, or any number of self-defeating strategies are adopted to protect oneself from the “responsibilities” of having and caring for possessions.
Some 95% of the personal woe in this world is self-induced.
the biggest overall cause of poverty anywhere is the State and its policies. The more active they are, the more the chance exists for poverty.
Uh, Oh...
This just in... UC Faculty Training: Saying ‘America Is the Land of Opportunity’ Is a Microaggression.

If this is true about lead and crime/poverty, then whites would have shown the same tendencies prior to lead abatement activities. They don’t. Culture is the difference.
I confess to not reading the entire article ... but is there any reason that children should be able to ingest lead these days?
As the article said, lead paint was abolished.
I’ll read the rest when I get home.
