Excuse me: American Politicians are 100% responsible for not observing and realizing this.

Marriage rates have declined. The modern legal framework of marriage is the figurative equivalent of a ball and chain.

If it goes bad, and statistically it's irresponsible to assume it

Disengaging from being a spouse to individual again is a long, costly, legal nightmare.

No one is responsible.

How many children have watched messy divorces over the course of years? Children who fled the family home once old enough so they wouldn't have to endure watching 2 people they love tear into each other?

One of my best friends died isolated, alone, and far from his friends and family over this.

By and by, if any of you would like to correct my concept on subsidized housing in Colorado, I welcome it. I will require links to those programs directly, however, to prove you aren't just trying to rage bait me into insincere debate.

I will not reward Colorado Blue State. It is aggressively fuschia.

15,000 Homeless. Barely any subsidized housing to be found. Countless overpriced apartments that remain vacant.

Higher car insurance. Less state support for adults with disabilities.

The wealthy are welcome. Very few others are.

After that, spent nearly a decade in Massachusetts. Also a Blue State. I know this because the MassHealth system is far more complete then Medicaid. Because though their infrastructure is overtaxed, there are at least 200+ Income Based Housing programs easily found on one database.

This is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The basic notion is until you have the foundational needs met, your average person can't develop anything higher.

Most Americans do not have their physiological and safety needs met.

That's a major problem. A blight to this country and the American Dream.

I don't pretend this will be a quick process. I may be tilting at Windmills. It may be a losing battle.

But I know in my heart it is the battle I must fight. So few politicians seem to give a crap about anyone who can't afford their fundraisers.

(Mass kudos to AoC for being one of the exceptions)

Step 1: Close the tax loopholes for the uber wealthy.
Step 2: Bring in a Forensic Accountant, assuming one isn't already on the government payroll
Step 3: Rebalance budget to provide Simple Universal Healthcare, Housing, and even a food and spending stipend for any American in need.

This is bullshit. I cannot be more eloquent right now. I walked all the way from the entrance to the side of the store where the restroom is. And had to walk back across the store to get a combination I didn't even know I needed.

I use a mobility aid. I plot my steps carefully. I am now in pain.

Previously, the explanation for the lack of seating options was because

"The homeless were coming in and using them".

Never enough powercarts for disabled and elderly patrons

And today I found out Green Mountain King Soopers put Combination Locks on the public bathroom doors. Because. Homeless.
