Clearly funding services for people, education, healthcare makes people happier and more productive. But keeping people at each other throats, poor and uneducated, makes for a very cheap exploitable workforce.
Interesting, I'd say it's easier for political grifters to trigger thick racists to vote against their own interests when people can be pointed out as different. Divide and conquer is definitely one of the most effective tools of manipulation. Shame so many are too thick to rise above it.
My point is that in an American public school classroom you can have many children who are living in extreme poverty and speak many other languages as a first language. Therefore, we are comparing apples to oranges. Our children come to school with very different backgrounds.
Oh I agree, there are optimal conditions for humans to improve, be happy, get good academic results etc. Just a crying shame there are bastards who'll ruin aiming for that for their own selfish motives
