The reason “struggling peoples” moved to Milwaukee some time back was the super short residency requirement for government aid that was like old Velveeta to a bottom feeding carp. Half of Illinois’ Cook County went to Milwaukee for Milwaukee government manna.
Milwaukee is getting crushed under the weight of the “struggling people” now.
For years Milwaukee Public Schools (now more like gangbanger day care) graduated students at a rate around 50%. Sure some got out, but for many others, the only fulltime job they’re capable of is destroying the city or whining about the mess they’ve made. All while the politicians hold out hope of mythical high paying jobs to arrive for an uneducated and unmotivated workforce. They promise to bring manufacturing back, while ignoring the realities at hand - high taxes and no desire on the part of companies to pay $50,000 a year to high school drop outs.
Some serious cognitive dissonance going on.
