Also there's the issue of quality. I'd argue our biggest problem in 2026 is the sheer ignorance of the masses; it's logic like yours that defunds the programs that produce educated and critically minded adults. Financially stable childhoods help a lot in that regard.

There are few people who had a more financially stable childhood than a certain US president and I’d argue he’s currently the single most damaging person for the planet.

I wouldn't be so sure, his father was a fucked up man; but he also wouldn't be a good example as he's certainly got something wrong with him. Same for quite a few higher ups and billionaires. About 1% of the population has sociopathic tendencies (and a higher amount in business leads, something like 4%).

Much more concerned about the people who elected him, and they are overwhelmingly undereducated and impoverished. Not that there aren't always exceptions, though.
