The lost boys: the white working class is being left behind

No because providing those things, tax deductions, etc will only address part of the problem. Because I think that mutational load will accumulate without the filtering of those at the bottom, you must also remove transfers from the top and middle to the bottom, while also, of course, removing artificially created obstacles to equality of opportunity for those at the bottom - so they can climb out themselves, if they can.

There is no burden if proof on me at all, I don't think our society is fixable. I think it will collapse, ecological and energy source pressure only adding to that, and the only society I expect to be possible to exist, in the long run, after that is one congruent to my worldview here.

As for a society that is not capitalist, I am not aware of a model that is not worse.

If you think talking to me is bleak then try being me talking to myself, it's bleaker than the bleakest bleak.
