Well written article except that it skirted the main cause of most of our problems today- the mass influx of often poor quality immigrants and cheap foreign workers - leading to retrenchment of locals, high cost of living esp of houses, long wait at hospitals/clinics, train breakdowns ect2.
None of these best and brightest surfaced it as a problem?
