"if they had marketable skills, would they use half a dozen of them to sell a $20 rock of crack every 10-15 minutes? Or worse yet, a $10 "trick" every half hour? And if they had any business savvy, they'd figure out how to solve their incredible "employee turnover" problem by keeping their "employees" out of jail.
Selling a $20 rock of crack every 10-15 minutes? That would total $80 - $100 per hour ... times an 8 hour day... $800 per day? If the median income is something around $30,000 or $35,000 per year, they'd have to have some kind of killer marketable skills to compete with that. I earn $20 per hour with 20+ years experience and 4 years of college... guess my "marketable skills" fit more closely with the income of the $10 per half hour trick. When the national UNEMPLOYMENT rate was at its lowest just a couple of years ago... the national CRIME rate was also at record lows. So... give the people jobs that pay em enough to live... and they don't need to sell crack and turn tricks. Wendy Introwitz Pareene Lyndale Neighborhood
