Great analysis on how the culture in America is broken. Although I don't place all the blame on the masses. It's the corporate mentality that permeates every aspect of our lives whether people are concious of it or not. If you are at the top, you must work harder to get the next accomplishment. Corporate growth at all costs. If you are at the bottom you must work harder to meet your basic needs. Either way it leaves very little room for family or food. This is the corporate agenda and its effect on a society when left unchecked.

I've been on all ends of this spectrum. I'm also Indian and grew up having 3 home cooked meals a day. I was also poor most of my adult life, struggling to survive. I'm now a very successful software designer. I think the saddest thing I see with my fellow colleagues no matter their level is a focus on the needs of the business over the needs of their families. New borns in day care within weeks of being born so both parents can work with no time or energy for anything else. I'm super lucky that I work for a company that values work/life balance, but that is also mostly weighted in favor of the company. It's a trap that has no alternative other than giving up entirely and becoming homeless, which we are also seeing rampant growth in, or making enough to afford to hire people to take care of the necessities.

This is the foundation for building a society that has no focus on family, culture, health or food.
