What was that Upton Sinclair quote again?

ThinkBeat 2 years ago

""For many people in underserved communities, generational poverty and limited opportunities for upward mobility make crime a viable alternative to a system that seems rigged against them. When people are presented with few legitimate economic prospects, studies show that some turn to crimes such as drug-dealing and theft.""

This is not limited to black people. If you compare statistics between "underserved communities" the situation is quite similar regardless of the color of the skin on the people living in poverty and without hope.

"Universal income may lower violence/murder/crime in the entire country".
