Geoffrey Canada speaks about how he thinks society can win the war on poverty. He reiterates that his aim is to save the children in our country who aren't being raised and trained to be a part of the labor market. The new crisis in the United States is the increasing number of children that are not receiving a proper education.

I love that ending about perception.
But yeah, he's hitting the same nail on the head that I've realized is one of two nails that will collapse this nation.
The ghettos haven't gone away after 5 decades and the poverty gap is getting worse.
If you do the math on that, you realize, the ghettos are set to expand violently in the next few decades.
So the first nail is the poverty gap and our training kids to hate learning.
The second nail is the lack of family and community values.
These two combined are going to ruin this country well before nukes, asteroids or that Permian Extinction 2.0 we've probably already irreversibly started.
