This can lead to homelessness. That’s what happened to my Aunt.” I live in fear.

    When the Economy is Slanted to profit over people, this is the end result. When you live out of your car to save money, you cant build a family. When you have to work two jobs you do not have enough time for relationships. If you want to turn around lower birth rates and the loneliness epidemic, people need more time, and money to do it. I do not want to give up my health by working two jobs just to have a family i will hardly ever see. People need more opportunity's to have relationships, and that cant happen without time, and money.
