Darren Bullock, 40, is a Trump voter who switched from the Democrats in 2016.

He is likely to lose Medicaid coverage because of the new requirements, although he is not hopeful of finding adequate employment.

“If they want people to work 80 hours a month, they’d need to bring in a lot more jobs,” he says.

And this retraining goal then gets you in trouble for offering training for jobs that don’t exist.

It has to be combined with:

  • people willing to change
  • moving assistance
  • people willing to move
  • people who can celebrate that some broke the cycle even if the those remaining are worse off
  • rural broadband
  • people willing and able to use online resources for various things, up to and including remote work

And time. It’s not going to be fast. There is no silver bullet. No one will do it for you: you need to take advantage of the support to improve your life. Yes it’s harder than listening to some bombastic idiot spout gibberish and make promises forgotten as quickly as he rattles them off, but it can help at least some

Precisely. It’s a good thing the left pushes UBI, free schooling, and new, positive infrastructure projects really hard, especially in rural places where private business fails to service because it’s not profitable!

Well, all except for the people willing to change but considering the right is full of people who keep saying “life’s not fair” and “that’s too bad you gotta do what you gotta do” I’m sure they can suck it up, right?
