...because in the private sector, there are already arguments over what qualifies as a responsible use of wealth and whether children are being burdened more than their fair share or if it's just an exchange for inheriting more than ever before.How does WSJ write this article without a single reference to Build Back Better? Or the great national semantic debate we had six months ago over whether referring to investments in the caregiving economy (to address exactly these issues) as “human infrastructure” is unacceptable and for some reason therefore not worth doing?

Which, supposing your suggestion could even be accomplished, would take at least two generations to do so. So, what do you propose in the meantime? What about you? Who will care for you?

IMO, we need "Death With Dignity" laws. If they are not available, there is always the car in the garage. Not dignified, but I won't live a life of pure existence. Quality of life is much more important than quantity to me,
That doesn't at all sound psychotic as ****.We should have discipline in the mean time where those who make bad decisions suffer consequences for what they've done.
Children who grow up to become adults need to realize their parents did not do what they were supposed to when it came to preparing for their elder years.
