It's kind of a spiral. They get caught up in a culture and don't have any exposure to anything different.
breaking the chain is tough, but not impossible
education and information would be great

let those folks now there are better choices
and obtainable

folks from the Sudan seem to find a way to get out and move here
probably a very small percentage

Education? In large cities it tends to suck (and cost way too much in most cases - looking at you, Chicago).

No help there.

I get it.  I'm still 7 miles from where I was born and raised.
but, if this was a dangerous drug infested hell hole like some areas of Chicago, I'd have found a way out when trying to raise children

but, that's just me.  I try to make good choices most of the time.

According to Forbes Advisor, Atlanta is the most educated city in the United States: 

Maybe so, but there is a pretty wide gap I suspect.  The local high school is said to be pretty decent.

If you were in a drug-infested hell hole like some areas of Chicago, you would likely be a part of making children, but not raising them.

It's a different world. I've spent time in it. Most have no hope, and most didn't trust us when we told them there was.

You ever hear of an outfit called Junior Achievement?

Speaking of processed foods, does anyone here eat Spam more than once a year?  My wife has mentioned it before, she asked me what it was, she thinks the term relates to email.  My notion, and I could be wrong, is that it's basically a "hotdog" kind of thing in a tin.  It might be better than hot dogs healthwise, that could be close.  It is GLUTEN FREE !!!!!! at least.  Nitrites are not the best thing to be ingesting often.




Fried Spam with BBQ sauce was something my mom would fix when I was a kid.  Was pretty good.

Eh, I'm not so sure TBH. 

Immigration became the single most important issue to me long before Trump came along when I noticed how much my little city spends per year on translators for our Court.  Then I looked it up and:
  • Ohio is one of the lowest immigration states in the Union. 
  • Medina (my county) is one of the lowest immigration counties in Ohio. 
Taking #1 and #2 together, I realized that I literally live in one of the lowest immigration areas in the whole country and illegal immigrant crime is a MAJOR problem HERE.  If it is that bad here, it has to be devastating in higher immigration locales.  This is just one of the costs that we pay. 

Because of this, I was a big supporter of Trump back in 2016 because he was the first credible candidate in generations who actually took the side of the American people on the immigration issue.  Unlike the others, he didn't fold to the donor class and their insatiable demands for ever more cheap labor. 

Then he got into office and I'm pretty sure I built more fence at my house from 2017-2020 than he built wall on the US/Mexican border.  I hope the second term is a lot less talk (and tweet) and a lot more action. 

Actually a fair amount of the wall got built. A company I use to work for provided a large part of the steel for it.

My mom fried it as well.  We slapped it on white bread, with a slice of cheese, and Miracle Whip, or mayo.

My i s c & a aggie wife's mom makes a spam salad that's delicious.  Think ham salad, or tuna salad, but made with diced spam.  So good.
