yeah, that constitution was never gonna pass. inequality dates from colonial times, as it does in the rest of the region. while inequality reached its peak at the end of the dictatorship, it has steadily been declining from high by latin american standards to middle of the road, which is still very unequal by 1st world standards but at least it is going in the right direction. this is due to the increased social benefits and access to tertiary education, which in the long term are finally bearing fruit. but people don't feed their families with statistics and chile is a country with 2nd world salaries but 1st world prices. you get the best services in latin america, but they cost a lot and many go into debt.
