[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our system isn't set up for disabled, childless, family less adults. It'll be interesting to see how that all plays out. [/quote]

and our current system is also not set up to support pregnant women, postpartum women, and children under the age of 5. Societally and culturally, children are treated horribly in the US and have effectively, no rights. [/quote]

Our society isn't really set up to help anyone at all, is it?  SS and Medicare aren't "help", we pay for them.  Disability income in this society is a joke.

We are a survival of the fittest society.  We don't really care about individual suffering.  Individual suffering is part of America's soul.  [/quote]

This past weekend, I was working at a volunteer event and with three separate people who very recently moved to the US from different countries - Poland, Taiwan, and Germany.

The immigrants from Poland and Germany said they had to leave Europe and that the "social safety net" will be Europe's destruction and, mark their words, it will not be there in 10 years. These were separate conversations. I have no opinion on their conclusions but those were their conclusions.

The lady from Taiwan? She was happy to be there and ready to pitch in.

I am not AT ALL touting the US system. However, I think people don't have a good grasp on the state of life in other places.[/quote]

Consider the people you met left their home counties voluntarily[/quote]
