more disadvantaged. And worse, the system works to make even more people disadvantaged. Fall through the cracks and one is in the trash heap, and the plow is working to push even more people through the cracks.

And also some wonder why so many elderly drink so much or are on drugs. There's a delight in USA, Incorporated, my country right or wrong, in seeing people fail, I think. It's the capitalistic way. Money first, greed first and enjoy watching others fail because for some it feels so good.
