How Donald Trump’s broken promises failed Ohio | Anywhere but Washington

After winning the 2016 election, Donald Trump promised to deliver new jobs and economic prosperity to Youngstown, Ohio, a city suffering from decades of decline. But four years on those promises never manifested. Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone meet residents who lost their jobs and had their families split by economic necessity, and witness how the demise of the city’s only newspaper made it harder to hold politicians accountable for their failures

@@Monx-ci9hh What you're describing is 'equality of outcome', which is not really the general and universally accepted idea of equality, or 'equality of opportunity', which is what we need to fight for.

[@Monx-ci9hh]

@Lewis Read. I agree with that. Thanks for “schooling” me I guess. So in other words, varieties in levels of success are natural but we can do something to equalize everyone’s potential for success.
