Do the “surplus” of young people in US act as an “asset” for orgs like cigarette companies and counter culture media shills? Are u being systematically exploited for your allowance? Did you ever not eat lunch for three days so you could buy the Wu-Tang Forever double tape? Link
A surplus of young people can be an asset when there is a functioning economy and school systems able to train young workers; development economists call this the “demographic bonus.” But when there is no opportunity, this “bonus” can be exploited by whoever fills the opportunity gap — be it a warlord or extremist group.
