        @Nonrelatedsense @wsj surprisingly, genetics are not a random walk... Unless the jury is still out on evolution...

        @volatilitysmile @Nonrelatedsense @WSJ genetics doesn't explain 40%. Nobody would argue that. Bad parenting is MUCH bigger factor IMO.

        @WSJ...wage earnings and lack of wage growth (in era w/ great inflation) are our nation's greatest impediment. We can do better.

        @WSJ @Eduspokesperson Education is the passport out of poverty & low income. Redistribution of wealth entrench low income & poverty.

        @WSJ all we can do is give them a chance at getting out. Anyone familiar with the fasfa program knows it's quite possible to go to college
