The problem is that your theory assumes that people are always at their 100% and thus can work to improve their lot. That is simply not true,if you hold that view, you are honestly just wrong and I can't do anything about it.

Can you explain what you mean by:

> your theory assumes that people are always at their 100% and thus can work to improve their lot

It's not obvious to me at all that a person needs to be at "100%" to improve their lot (and avoid criminality). I would never get out of bed if that was the case.

It's not just a theory, it's an empirical observation—as El Salvador demonstrates.
