"Criminal acts to survive"

Are we still talking about US here? Nobody has to crime to survive in this country.

edit: people seriously expect those living in poverty to commit crimes? you people lack respect for those trying to climb the ladder in areas of concentrated poverty

Would you hire people with criminal record? Would your job,if u have one, hire people with criminal record?

If you're proposing pilot programs in which we pay / offer tax credits to companies that employ them,

then yes, I agree that sounds like a more effective option.

That's not what I said. I asked you if you or the place you work at would hire criminals?

Poverty is one of the main reasons crime even happens, what are you talking about?

You have clearly never been in enough poverty to do something you’re not proud of. Everyone that has been there knows.
