@thomasfuchs If countries don't do it, then I'm not sure it actually works.
Like, 'just learn to code and get a high-paying job' is bad advice because it doesn't work.
"But if you actually did it, then it would work" is true, but the advice is still bad, because it still doesn't work to solve most people's financial problems.
As to why breakups don't work, I'd assume lobbying plays a part.
