this still wont close the gap
The gap due to time spent in prisons, and the gap due to ill-health and shorter life expectancy associated with poverty?
Quote:somehow in your utopian world getting all these abos to do "useful work" (however you define that)
Anything which we can do - including implementing
permanent full employment - is not utopian, even if deluded mainstream economists think it is.
Quote: will not result in incomes between whites and abos to be the same unless you artificially pay abos more.
That's not the goal. Please pay attention.
Quote:there will also be health gaps, education gaps, crime gaps, etc, because those things simply are consequential effects from IQ
Yes, but eradication of poverty-level subsistence (aka welfare dependency) will reduce the gaps to the
outcomes consistent with different abilities. Poverty is a political choice, not an economic necessity, since there is no shortage of the essentials, in the nation.
Quote:closing the gap requires them to have the same outcomes as white people, not all be doing "above poverty useful work" which is also a pipe dream
No, it's matter of eradicating poverty; any gaps which persist due to lower wealth levels, as opposed to actual systemic poverty, will be small and not of concern to anyone.
Increasing social cohesion and less criminality will likewise eventuate, as the debilitating and demoralizing effects of poverty are eliminated via maintenence of real full employment.
