They probably don’t exist, but it would be interesting to see the stats from 1960. That was before LBJ and the Democrats wrecked the black family unit.

Side note: The only way to repair the damage is to bring good jobs (industry) back to the cities, while at the same time reducing welfare. Looks like that isn’t going to happen.

“The only way to repair the damage is to bring good jobs (industry) back to the cities, while at the same time reducing welfare. Looks like that isn’t going to happen.”

Talking to a Federal Forestry official about the endangered Eastern indigo snake I said, “Why don’t you just breed a few in captivity and then release them in the wild?” His answer was, “Because the environment they need to live in is completely gone. It’s been turned into subdivisions which are the equivalent for Eastern indigo snake of deserts.” And that is why we can’t bring back good paying jobs to cities. For a variety of reasons, some of them bureaucratic, the environment they needed to exist is gone.

Among the many problems, mandated costs and benefits that have nothing to do with producing a product and everything to do with being a drag on hiring are everywhere. The government and unions have put huge penalties on hiring people. Then there’s competition from societies structured totally differently, from the regulatory and safety environment to wages and societal cost structures. You can’t compete against slave labor, like in some areas of China an Africa.

The answers are in changing a raft of policies and laws, each of which is someone’s ox that needs to be gored. And you can’t gore just one ox. They all need to be dispatched at the same time. Then you have to overcome the inertia of people who are used to being “at rest.”
