@CDCDirector is talking about the reality of +abuse & lack of nutriton when students are not in school. Think about what that says about our country and our ability to promote prosperity for our citizens when kids are better off at school than at home...
...this means that for many people a lack of emotional IQ, lack of education & lack of ability of self control are real enough that they regularly abuse their kids to such a degree that kids are safer at school. This also means that many people, perhaps for the same reasons,...
...are unable to exist well enough above the poverty line that they can prosper AND provide a safe, nurturing and wholesome environment for their own kids. This also means that mentall illness and substance abuse may be playing a major role in the...
...inability of these people to have capitalized on the education they were offered, build on that education, gain prosperous employment and live a healthy life well enough to provide for their children in a way that promotes a cycle of prosperity, wellness and sustainability...
...we are failing in many ways. Folks who have been making decisions for years have not grasped the intensity of our failure and, as a result, have been unable to make bold enough changes to our structures to promote prosperity. This also means that...
...the potential exists that the same leaders have other motivations that impede their ability to make bold changes. I have known these things since I was a little boy thanks to the efforts of my mother and father. My father, and his service to our community & fellow...

...will truly change things. The change that is required will cost more money than almost any elected official is willing to ask for or spend- not me. The bonded investments, the 140m proposed in PVD and other small investments are useful and, at this point,....

...and our lives. Look back at the beginning of this thread. I'm talking about OUR people. I'm talking about the kids and families that make up our community. The focus for RI needs to be on dramatic systemic change for all of pur people to access prosperity. 2022.
