When mom and dad both have to work:
Kids are eating processed foods because the adults don't have time to make a meal
Kids are spending an insane amount of time watching inappropriate content on YouTube
No one to drive them to extracurriculars
No one to help with homework or monitor what they're learning in school
No one to give them the basic affection you'd expect from a parent
Then conservative parents get upset when their kids end up woke. Maybe that's because they absorbed the values of the people who actually raised them.
Yep, my comment below makes a similar point.
There are in fact thoughtful, humane, pro family ways to expand manufacturing sectors in society (Japan has done this better than the U.S.). We don't only have to live in Jefferson's fabled agrarian utopia (w/ slave labor) to be free and communal. But the industrial revolution took dark turns, especially when it was less about innovative ways for nations to use creativity and technology to overcome limits of population and resources. As it became more about speculative cabals enslaving nations to "free trade" and other rotten fruit of the British empire, zero-sum thinking dominates society and disregards the incalculable costs of everyday quality of life for the working stiff.
