Capitalism creates generational poverty.
Generational poverty breeds desperation.
Desperation leads to self-destructive behaviors, broken families, fractured communities, isolation, crime, child abuse, etc.
Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm, etc. to profit from the desperation.
It’s a never-ending cycle.
I’ve heard someone say Shit Life Syndrome is mainly hereditary but also highly contagious, spreading easily through neighborhoods. It’s not always terminal but it is quite malignant and very hard to cure.
