The U.S. Labor Department has sued Oracle America Inc, alleging that the technology company systematically paid its white, male employees more than other workers and unlawfully favored Asian applicants in its recruiting and hiring efforts.
The department in a complaint filed with an administrative judge in Washington said the company was prohibited from engaging in racial discrimination given the hundreds of millions of dollars it receives as a contractor with the federal government.

"subvert social welfare programs. The poverty trap is real"
A phrase from two different sentences. Take those two phrases and try to build a new sentence. I come up with something like "welfare programs are a poverty trap, and should be subverted."
All the money thrown at welfare programs simply do not improve neighborhoods, communities, cities, states, or regions. People get trapped in poverty when they rely on welfare programs. Random people, here and there, manage to beat that poverty trap, but communities do not. I'm not sure how welfare can be done right, but it's pretty obvious that we're doing it all wrong. The ghetto remains the ghetto, unless some "entrepreneur" pays officials to declare eminint domain, so that he can bulldoze a community to build some new worthless monument to capitalism.

The basic income idea I think is the best possible method. It would eliminate a ton of bureaucracy and give people the freedom to improve their lives without fear of repercussions. Currently welfare recipients are in the double trap of poverty and welfare. Being poor makes it harder to improve your life, and being on welfare means getting a crap job might actually make you lose money and make the month to month harder. Basic income would also create massive liquidity since pretty much all of it will be injected back into the economy as rent, food, and bills.
