Feb 2016

it exists in every country on the planet...

you CAN however greatly reduce it with policies that help the right people and don't hurt the wrong ones... but even those policies will have to change as demographics change and as people get help... so there's no easy fix, other than potentially finding a way to start levelling as many playing fields as possible...

What WON'T work is token gestures and political stunts. And sadly that's almost all we've been trying for years.
