The $3b child poverty pric tag

[harm_less]

Someone I respect once told me he thinks we have got too big and too disconnected with each other. He thinks much smaller communities function better than nations, are kinder, more efficient, less wasteful, and better to live within.

He might be right, but are we willing to give up the benefits of Living Big?

It will take just another pandemic or two to take the shine off of large, crowded settlements. Cities are a death trap in terms of population density, food supply and resilience in general. Far better to live rurally, with security in place against the marauding hordes.
