Keep the Promise - on child poverty

[Luce NDs]

Overly controlled information leads to diminished intellect it appears ... something more to learn! additional dark spots before my ayes and amens ... ye mens disaster ... naivete? Lessons on the inflexible flow ...

Ruagh tumbles ... yet many will say kick them when weakened and broken up ... the network fails!

There is a candidate running for POTUS that addresses the politics of systemic poverty ... the only one talking about child poverty ... calling for the people to step in ... but nobody has the time to listen it seems.

... the only one talking about child poverty ...

"Alleviating child poverty in the US would increase GDP by $700 billion a year through higher productivity, lower crime and better health outcomes. One study found that every $1 invested in child poverty returns $7 to society. Investing in people more than pays for itself." - Andrew Yang.

But are any of the frontrunners talking about it? Williamson and Yang aren't likely to get the nomination.

As discussed on another thread, I think there's a possibility of strategically and gracefully suggesting your supporters move to a candidate you think most sympathetic to your primary aims.

Right now I'm rooting from the sidelines for Yang. In time, should he go out, I'll move to whomever he throws his support behind.

That is talking about GDP - that seems to be the category that children have been afforded by most of the front-runners as well. And that is why they are front line runners 'Children' cannot vote against special interests that profit financially from activities that harm their health, deny them education, or profit off their problems.

Advocacy for our children isn’t a charity issue; it’s a justice issue.

The long-term benefits to these investments are incalculable. But that’s not why we need to make such investments. We need to do them for our very survival.

Canadian Politics could take some cues from this political activist ... but but she is not a front-runner.

And why is she not a front-runner - because she is first an advocate for the children - all the children of the world.
