We have more than enough wealth here in the US (and most first world societies) to eliminate most child poverty in our nations, and we even demonstrated this ability during the pandemic era. But for some reason we choose not to do this. Yes you can sit back and cherrypick the most innumerate beliefs that 23-year-olds hold, but we’re adults and we need to accept responsibility for the flaws in the society we’re handing them. If we can’t do that, our criticism is hollow and embarrassing.

We choose not to do this because corporations and the very wealthy would have to proportionally pay their share for it, and by and large they control politicians and the political processes.
