Oh, definitely agree with that. But for some reason I just feel like that’s unlikely to happen, I just can’t imagine a goverment doing something like this. It’s just doesn’t feel like something plausible, for some reason.

But yeah, even if it did happen, it’s probably going to be the second option you mentioned at this point.

If you can’t imagine a government doing things that might structurally help, then maybe we need to stop having those.

It’ll depend on how much they think they can count on getting those heartland voters, I suppose. Also whether people will be too hungry to riot or not.
