This is a huge problem and the younger generations are being brainwashed in school that it is not only acceptable to beg for government handouts but that it is something to be proud of.
And what's worse is that I believe this is part of a large and more sinister plan.
I think the US government and the biggest players in the USA (Federal Reserve Bank + Wealthiest family dynasties etc) are seeing that this system in the US is becoming unstainable and will soon implode. In light of this, I think socialistic programs (ie. Universal income, welfare, medicaid, medicare, unemployment, social security etc) are going to continue as to keep the people from revolting and rioting due to "their" government failing them.
Hell, I'm going to take a massive stab at it and suggest that at some point in the near future, I wouldn't be surprised if they incentivize chemical castration in order to get better control of population growth via reproductive means. I think this game of supply and demand is tilting heavy towards the demand side and this earth's resources are starting to run low. I think this capitalistic system could very well fail in the future (when exactly? I don't know), but it's showing signs of its unsustainability.
While I can't give more precise details, it just seems like it's all heading towards a strange Orwellian
1984 scenario, where we are all forms of cattle meant to serve the greater masters behind the curtains. Moreover, these times just appear to me like the very beginnings of this foreseeable end.
I am not a man of faith, but even biblical/torah references to Sodom and Gomorrah show how once a society reaches its deepest depths of depravity, a great reset tends to occur. It could be that the great US empire is coming to and end (much like the Dutch & British empires before us) and that our society is slowly showing its dirtiest aspects (sexual miscreants, racial & civil unrest, large wealth gaps that are making the poor + middle class hate the rich and want them annihilated, politics that reeks of special interest group agendas etc).
I don't know man. Maybe I am just rambling. Sometimes I feel/think this way and maybe I am overreacting and letting my mind play tricks on me, but something seems VERY off with how things are progressing.
