  • Well there is a growing problem. Parents seem to dropped the idea of letting children grow up. Children becoming adults have adapted to simply saying "mom and dad will pay for me". They dont leave the nest or get driver liscenses. The job market crashed for about 7 years making it near impossible for young people to get any sort of work. This was cuased by the bank scare, and following was the housing crash and than the unsuccesful Iraq war. Forcing a lot of people to attempt to join the military. Now the more poorly educated who often come from poor niahborhoods with little opportunity out of thier bad situation could not compete with a bunch of underemployed college students whos score for military were often very high. Leaving these already disadvantaged youth to either stay at home or be tossed on the streets to scrounge for scraps to survive. Since no one likes hiring the homeless that is another disadvantage. While this happened we had another issue going on. Niahborhoods that thrive often push rent up which pushes out people of lower incomes as the rich slowly take over the niaghborhood. Which again adds to homeless crises, inflation cuasing people to demand higher wages and the ever growing poverty line. Than a hero came. An apperent savior who would tell it like it was. Someone not afraid to say what others where scarred too. Americas knight would pull us out of an apperent depression we were heading for and bring back jobs! Wins the election and while people were complaining about less significant debates like gay marriage, there were others angry about the fact they were poor, couldn't find work, couldn't afford an education, and homeless who were either voting for Trump or Berny. While abortions and gay rights was still a hot button probably not the biggest issue when you are homless, poor, uneducated and unemployed. Berny ended up falling out early on and to many peoples shock Trump won the election. Though what I think people didnt realize is that Hillary was never really competing with anyone. She was really competing with Trump, she was competing with Berny.
