>You benefit substantially from living in a stable, high-trust society where
You have decided what I should want and what I should pursue, for me, against my wishes, and say "because I want these things, he should want them too". I don't want the same things as you. I'd try explaining, but I don't think you'd get it.
>where customers have money
I don't have anything I wish to sell you and you have nothing to trade that I want.
>and employees are educated.
I've seen the education system. I'm well past the "maybe if we just do the education a little more intensely, things will improve" phase.
you dont get high trust society by increasing welfare state. The argument that by handing out money we will get stable high trust society does not hold at all.
European countries that are unable to assimilate migrants are a living proof, for example Sweden Denmark, etc.
Counterpoint to your argument is El Salvador: by enforcing laws they are able to achieve high trust society, so what we actually need is maximimum law enforcement and isolation of people who dont want to maintain the high trust society.
China/Singapore is another example: they just execute drug dealers and solve the drug trafficking problem. It may be perceived as inhumane to drug traffickers, but it is very humane for the victims(current and possible) of drug addiction.
USA has a giant surplus of people with net negative contribution to the society and is unable to solve it in order to propel society forward
Your first argument makes no sense. People from totally different cultures don't suddenly integrate. In the US, Jews originally ran the mafia when they came over, then Irish/Italians. Was that an indicator that America's model failed? And that jews/irish/italians would never integrate into it and never have high trust neighborhoods? Or that integration is a process (that you aren't allowing for in your argument)?
Not having moms working multiple zero hour jobs to try and barely survive would be a huge plus for high trust society. They would better socialize their children (which would reinforce a high trust society). They would better account for their children because they would be present (a plus to high trust). Under your current system they aren't home to instill high trust, when they are around they are too tired, and they have way less time/ability to engage in socializing activities with their children resulting in a non-parented, non-socialized society.
The majority of high trust societies are ones where peoples' basic needs are met. El Salvador has a very short history of some improvement from militarized policing but hardly enough data to start extrapolating from other than high enforcement police states are police states.
