Quote:What is the difference between an eighteen year old Somali pirate and an eighteen year old drug dealer in any urban US city?
The logic is the same: perverse incentives. Even if opportunities are theoretically made available, they are not as attractive as the socially disastrous alternatives.

Not that an 18 year old black kid from Chicago faces anywhere near the problems that an 18 year old Somali kid does, of course.
