That the elderly and children have to work at all represents a total failure of our culture here in America.
My dad is 80 years old and is developing dementia, and I was helping him fill out job applications earlier this year. This is a man who worked since age 11 (my grandfather died when my dad was a kid) and had his own business, in America, for 50 years. (Killed by Goldman Sachs and the 2008 economic crisis)
People love to call ours a Christian country, and they're making a very strong case for atheism in the process.
And the moral progress is getting more and more inhuman like China. Anddd.. the world seeing this as a gold standard right now, I understand what your feeling after watching Adam Curtis Documentary, very wide view movies I ever watch so far..
