The 20-something year olds of the 1980s...got into cocaine/crack....then had kids. As adults and parents....they were lousy parents, and the kids are now 30 to 40 years old....are products of that lousy generation.
There’s a great series on YouTube called ‘Soft White Underbelly’ where the moderator interviews homeless from LA. Lot of insight...various dynamics of poor parents skills that lead to the kid being ‘losers’ later in life. Fixing this is practically impossible...too many of them.
Singapore has an interesting way of dealing with this problem. A shopkeeper there told me that in 1965, one in ten of them was drug addict. Today, one in ten of them is a millionaire.
I will have to watch that. Thanks.
