As with virtually every case of the use of "everyone" when I said everyone stopped I did not mean it literally.

And yes, families are far more likely to be broken today than in decades past. The elderly are more likely to be dumped in a home somewhere. Welfare has ravaged families. The single motherhood rate is 8x what it was in the 50s because we incentivize broken families. Over 50% of adults are single now. That's historically unprecedented, and it didn't start heading that direction until the 1950s when socialist programs started really taking hold in the US.

You could do what a lot of people do, and don't use the word everyone when it is not the case, or not even close to being the case.
