    Im willing to admit that culture is a large mitigating factor, (many are not) so setting a pile of excuses and blame aside...
    Can that be solved?
    Or at the very least addressed different/better?
    Why is it so hard to convince x to just be better?

    Note that x includes many subsegments of many groups, all who have issues, but perhaps a lower % of their demographic, with poverty being the most common underlying factor.

    Honestly, I don't think there is an easy solution. The game has been rigged to keep people dependent and has convinced large swatchs of people that they can't provide for their own sustenance. All a scheme to keep people voting for one party that will fix their issues. It is now a game that people see how much free or subsidized **** they can get from the government. They see that as a trophy.

    As is always the case, "Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure".

    I see it getting worse before it gets better.

    I also suspect that anyone with a moral code, some common sense and a few $$$ will continue to leave problem areas. Only a fool would stick around to watch the decline as it gets more dangerous every day.
