there is just a major problem in the fact cold war education focused entirely on math/science while gutting home economics/woodshop class/mechanic class. all while their parents were sold this insatiable desire of a social life beyond their means and wealth. even gen x parents were sold this when raising their millennial children.  a lot of them did barely any raising, some households found it easier to do the chores for all their kids, instead of trying to properly teach them how to because the toys they bought them were built purposely by marketing to eat up all their time, and give them dopamine problems. a lack in understanding to reach them. this cultural divide has only grown between even millennial parents and their zoomer kids/gen alpha.  they're selling everyone their own individual microcosm of capitalism, to keep them divided from their families.  when you're barely scraping by paycheck to paycheck, and this is how society intends it, that even getting the common cold could fuck you over and reset your entire life savings, how can you even think about having a kid? when you come from nothing, have nothing, and make just enough to have nothing when everyone comes asking for their piece of a pie, and they want that pie to infinitely grow.
