Help The Urban Poor

 The infrastructure of this country is vital to commerce and citizens.  Its our roads bridges, trains, airports, and utilities.  They enable trade and increase business.

There may be some question on whether something is or is not infrastructure, especially it seems when it comes to providing for our underprivileged urban populations.

The simple reason for that is they are underrepresented because of our structure.

Both our electoral college and our senate are biased towards area, not population.  So providing internet to underserved rural communities gets a higher priority than poor urban neighborhoods, even though the latter would help many more people.

The best way to correct some of our countries inequalities in the long run would be to help poor urban youngsters have better opportunities.

Of course poor rural youngsters need assistance also, there are just so many more in the cities.
