The way you phrase your statement doesn't end on a note of solution or hope and, "the perfect is the enemy of the good."
"Nobody ever is," is also an absolute dripping with sadness. Just my 2 cents on the reactions, I doubt it's because they think the working poor aren't systemically disadvantaged.

- plausibilities 8y agoLet me take a stab at it - perhaps it makes you feel disingenuous to some degree to propose large-scale, "silver-bullet", beaten-to-death solutions/strategies. Reason being that, from a practical/cynical perspective, these proposals can too easily be co-opted into red-herring cudgels intended to end discussions before they delve into the realm of the more granular, nuanced, uncomfortable details.
