Moore's latest film has some ideas. Here's a few that I find pertinent: 1. Abolish slavery again by outlawing prison labor. Giving work to prisoners can make sense as a rehabilitation method but it should then serve to rehabilitate the prisoner, not to make profit for some private company. 2. Once you get rid of modern slavery, you can stop with the pretext used to fill prisons with minorities, so just end the war on drugs already. 3. Unequal access to education is a big source of unequal opportunities which slows down the upward social mobility of minorities. So enforce equal access to education by outlawing tuition and private schools. Once all schools are public and all schools are paid for exclusively by taxpayer money, the wealthy will not have ways to make sure that their kids get to a good schools while poor kids go to bad schools. They'll be forced, for their own kids' sake, to be in favor of appropriate funding for schools and that will benefit everyone. For the greatest equality, this should be done at the federal, not state, level. Also it's not in Moore's film but can you stop loving up with the natives already? poo poo like the Dakota Access pipeline are America's shame.

Vocational skills are good but they should not be considered to be enough.
