Your (and your parents’, and your peers’) real and perceived economic circumstances and opportunities have a lot to do with what you’ll value and prioritize as an adult - how invested and loyal you’ll be in society.
Every poor person we generate due to greedy decisions has a very high likelihood of being a destructive force back to us.
Now consider how many poor people were generated by black slavery, segregation, and explicit racism in America, and how, in a society, we all just swim around in the same trauma soup, deflecting pain towards one another.
Imo greed is an lack of education. As education is ideally schooling +life experience. Part of that critical thinking section needs to be taught by experience and society in the us at least didn’t give anyone enough time to see the world before deciding what to do, how to live and what kind of person you want to be.

Nope education is the downfall. Teach critical thinking well and you won’t have such a malleable idiotic population that buys into either of those.
That’s maybe a part, but not the whole story.

That’s an interesting way to frame things.
That’s a nice thought 😳
Education was destroyed by the same people who forced corporate news down our throats.
Correct, but one had to go before the other.
