25. It is both

you need the political will and capital to fund Lincoln High as well as La Jolla, where the only difference is the street address. If you find a pol willing to do that, this poll will not win a seat on the board, or will be a token crazy.

If by mistake they found the political will, they would have to find the money.

It is inverse with the cops. La Jolla has one officer, while Lincoln Heights is under occupation. You need political leaders (we had one do that recently) tell the cops to stop their racial profiling.

So it is truly both, the politics and the economic go hand in hand. Capitalism is not just an economic system, nor would Adam Smith call what we have at present capitalism, since it resembles exactly what he ranted against in his three books, mercantilism.
