Restoring Actual Family Values

I recently became a Grandpa, and am helping the new parents when they ask.  

Let's see what could happen to make parenting, and grand parenting, easier in a culture where three generations rarely live in the same home (or in an ADU: additional dwelling unit; upgraded RV on the same lot);

More (better, employer/publicly funded and longer parental leave); better minimum wage (>$25 per hour); free, public day care; free, public pre-K; free public schools (all free, as needed); etc...

Y'know: Socialism.  If that concept bothers anybody we can let your paved street deteriorate; no first responders in your neighborhood; no public schools for you; no minimum wage; no social security; no ACA, Medicaid or Medicare...  Gettin' a picture?

Socialism built the biggest and best, most equitable, economy in the world, that lasted from 1946 - 1976 in the USA.  First, Socialism picked up the pieces of the economic disaster that was the Gilded Age (private credit overreach).  The Gilded Age that caused the Great Depression.  The narcissist and megalomaniacal (N&M), unenlightened, self (only) interested, aristocrat wannabes, tore down the economic progress that had benefited everybody.  The N&Ms wanted the entire world to turn around only for themselves, because... Well, just because!

The voters will have to change out a great many legislators, because they (mostly the Republican criminal syndicate - RCS) won't use the tools already available to them to fix the politics of Citizens United (legislate limits to political donations and spending) and insurrection (Section 3 of the 14th Amendment) for 45, who incited, and the congress members who are complicit when they conspired to vote against convicting 45 for inciting said insurrection on January 21st of 2021.

Recovering  a Democratic Republic from the current oligarchy is hard because the ginormously wealthy, aristocrat wannabes are throwing enormous sums of money at keeping their ill-gotten gains. 

Restoring actual Democracy, and the Socialism that made it great, is the only way we can help families help themselves.
