    as social security and welfare are dismantled before our eyes (across both Dem and GOP administrations), homelessness will certainly rise especially among the elderly. i for one won’t let my parents die in the street but caring for them full time means never having time or money to have children of my own.

    capitalism has taken so much from us.

      In an ironic kind of way, I’m glad my parents abused me. I don’t have to feel guilty about letting them rot. Sure, I have lifelong mental illness, but at least I’ll have a bit more money to spend on therapy for it.
