A nation’s most valuable asset is its people. Like it or not, the
“underclass” seems to be where most of the future population is coming
from, in many countries, as the birth rate among the affluent elite
drops below the replacement level. So if you don’t invest in that
“underclass”,
your nation will end up with no future. QED.

Quite a bit of investment has been made in that dusky underclass for
seventy years with little to show for it than riots when a drugged up
felon dies during an arrest. I fear you are correct and there is no
future. Not my problem.
