It pays so much faster and so much better to deal drugs
Sad to say but those are the smart ones. Free government shit and run a totally cash business on the side. Killing kids in the neighborhood with drugs....no big deal....just some unavoidable collateral damage.
Some 20 years ago, Freakonomics found that the average wage of low-level drug dealers works out to about $3.50 per hour, and you can get killed or beat up or imprisoned doing it.
Based on today's simple racist math excluding the severely more racist risk reward and root cause analysis.
$3.50 / hr dealing drugs in the street is much better than $0.00 / hr sitting in a prison classroom not paying attention and wishing you were out in the street making money dealing drugs.
True. Also True. It pays so much faster and so much better to deal drugs than to waste time getting educated.
