The last few decades of Britain (sans a rare blip)…
>**Government:** We want more productivity so we can bring more money into the country!
>**Public:** Improve conditions so we’re not sick, depressed, poor, pissed off, and unwilling to participate.
>**Government:** OK, so the rich get richer, poor get poorer, we’ll cut benefits, and make it harder for young people to survive. I think we got it!

It’s as if, as a society, we’ve forgotten how to care for ourselves and our children in the most basic ways. The generational chain of wisdom has been broken.
Truly scary stuff.

Good luck to him, for all our sakes.
