America is being torn apart and loneliness is a side effect.
The culture wars. The gender wars. The importing of people from third world cultures. The inbalanced economy. The stagnant wages. The drug epidemic.
The US is in a long slow decline into a low trust society. I can now buy my way into nice places and largely myself from the effects. But I grew up poor and old my friends and the rest of my family are not so lucky. I’ve seen what happens to the poor and middle class in America and I only see it getting worse for the foreseeable future.
