“What neither side will admit in public is that we are left with a chunk of the population who are intellectually incapable of working in the modern economy.”
Thanks to the “decline and fall” [your words] of our education system. Sorry, but the “right wing” are well known for complaining about our union-controlled education system. They have been advocating a charter school alternative to our present system, in all neighborhoods, including low-income. And it wouldn’t hurt for governments to promote and pursue policies that increase teen employment all over the country, to better expose them to outside influences and the real world. Instead, we get non-sensical, across-the-board minimum wage laws, serving very few, that increase teen unemployment.
