The poverty class referred to people living in the west part of the city and barely surviving.
It was difficult to jump from one class to a higher one because of the severe stratification. It required not only economic support but also the recognition of the higher class. Thus, the former mayors encountered huge resistance when handling poverty.
Almost everyone in the wealthy class and the middle class was opposed to improving the status of the poverty class and making their lives better.
It was because the poverty class was equivalent to cheap labor.
Improving their quality of life and status would shake the interests of the wealthy class and the middle class-especially the wealthy class.
Other than stratification, another factor that prevented poverty from being properly addressed was the economy and productivity at that time.
Now, economic and productivity growth seemed to be out of the question. Therefore, they should focus on the wealthy class if they wanted to deal with poverty. Even if it hurt their interests, they must make them shut up and obediently accept the change.
Of course, the method to do so required further study.
“Commander, would you like something to drink?” Jagoan walked over and asked.
“Then make me a cup of coffee,” Jagoan said flatly.
Soon, Jagoan brought Jagoan a cup of coffee.
Of course, it was only ordinary instant coffee, and Jagoan had never been demanding about food and beverage.
After taking a sip of his coffee, Jagoan smiled and said, “Jagoan, how do you think those influential families and wealthy tycoons would react when they find out what we’ve done at the slum today?”
Jagoan pondered for a moment and said, “Maybe they’ll be dismissive of it. They might think you’re putting on a show and trying to build your image in a way that will give you more say in Dorodo’s administration.”
Jagoan instantly frowned at Jagoan’s words. He became lost in thought, trying to figure out what Jagoan meant.
Jagoan had pretty much figured out what Jagoan meant. However, he did not think Jagoan would have such an idea.
