The problem is, of course, that it is far easier to do stuff like the student loan forgiveness than it is to address the structural and cultural issues that are actually generating the problems--as I am sure that you are well aware.

The inability and unwillingness top address those structural issues are what are going to destroy us. It will evidence itself as a failure of democracy and a fall to authoritarianism, but that is the symptom, not the cause.

The cause is simply those with power and wealth seizing or maintaining their advantages while narrowly serving their own self-interest, often without much actual thought involved.
