The Wisdom of Generalities

The one commonality between George Floyd and the people and businesses damaged by the riots is that the government can not protect you.

"Nearly all of the biggest challenges in America are, at some level, a housing problem. Rising home costs are a major driver of segregation, inequality, and racial and generational wealth gaps. You can’t talk about education or the shrinking middle class without talking about how much it costs to live near good schools and high-paying jobs. Transportation accounts for about a third of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions, so there’s no serious plan for climate change that doesn’t begin with a conversation about how to alter the urban landscape so that people can live closer to work."  

One of the problems in modern thinking is the magic bullet thesis, that everything has a single, definable cause and we must work to uncover and reverse it. This is the idea behind Critical Theory: Nonrandom results have nefarious causes.
