The societal contract is rapidly breaking down.
This is what you need to fix.
You work hard, bring up decent kids, don't break the law and in return people have come to expect that they can live in an adequate house and their children, when they come of age, are able to move out, get work, find somewhere of their own to live. Expect a bit of healthcare when required, perhaps a bit of social care at the end of life.
But this has broken down.
What used to be dealt with within a family, older relatives, mental health illness, disabled youngsters, we all now expect the state to fund. And that expectation is bankrupting councils. Creating a workforce that pays tax and "sees" less and less each passing year for their efforts. (Pot holes, no police, littered streets). This is the breakdown of the contract.
People, as a whole, have stopped caring. Olders don't care about struggling children and parents don't care about singles and loneliness. It's dog eat dog and everyone for themselves.
And it seems like an impossible wound to heal.
It will revert to families being expected to look after their own with less and less state financial support. For a while. It will of course swing back again as everything does.
