If the nuclear family model were sustainable and prone to growth then how did we get here?

Middle-class is an important economic segment of the population but it really seems like protecting the middle class was always more important than growing the middle class.

Economics and statistics are hard and I’m forgiving for the protestors making some illogical demands which may feel right but would have unforeseen consequences. But there must be a compromise here. We all can’t just continue to pretend that things are great and BLM wants to disrupt that just cause.

I’m almost 40 and progress has been agonizingly slow. I argue that the counterpoints which I hear or read against BLM are really just good old fashioned conservatism masquerading as logical rigour.
