You hit it right on the head. Crime is one of the highest levels in the country, tax level is amongst the highest in the state and in return we get horrendous schools and infrastructure, the same idiots continue to get elected which leads to more of the same.

But folks are leaving bc they’re racist? Nah. Only idiots believe that and dems use it to their advantage over their weak minded constituents.

It seems like such common sense. Sometimes, I start to think that deep in their hearts, the NBR folks understand but they just don't want to admit it. If I were a struggling single parent living in a crime-infested, litter plagued shite hole with terrible influences all around, I'd do whatever I had to to do to make it to St. George. An apartment off Millerville is attainable to anyone that isn't afraid to put in a solid days work doing whatever is necessary to pay the bills.

But that's where the disconnect come in. A solid days work, 2 jobs if necessary. I understand that day-care becomes a problem but those that have 2 kids by the age of 20 without a father in their life to assist have made their own bed. Thats where this problem truly lies, single mother hood with multiple kids. That's hard to escape from once your buried beneath it. Trying to manage 2 kids, sickness, daycare, transportation, etc while being a dependable and reliable employee is next to impossible to co-exist

Of course, we all know good people that make mistakes and end up as single mothers for various reasons, but the acceptance of this situation in the lower income demographic is staggering. I managed a team of entry level workers that were honestly trying to better their situation, but watching and seeing first hand how often these young women became pregnant and hearing them describe the lack of a partner and that just being accepted as a normal part of life disturbed me. That's not normal and should be discouraged but it didn't seem to be to this young demographic. They cut their legs out from under them before they even get started.

The normalcy and acceptance if it is very discouraging.
