The saddest fact that so many miss is that these policies often harm those they claim to help or represent the most.
Inner-city communities already have fewer retail or service sector options than other communities for this very reason and it will grow far worse. Drug stores, grocery stores, and retail establishments are leaving the inner-city because they cannot afford to do business there.
This not only deprives those communities of shopping options it RAISES prices with less competition and there are fewer entry level jobs available. The schools already suck and are not very safe.
I would say its sad but it mostly makes me very angry. Children and the elderly pay the worst price for these policies. Every time. In a sane world more people (even “liberals”) would recognize the truth of what I just wrote.
The push for “woke” ideology will be paid in blood and tears by depressed communities. The rest of the nation will pay in other ways for generations and not only in higher taxes.
