(62,325 posts)Europeans, eg, do not have to move every few years to make a living. But then their system is more 'socialist' where the fortunes of the 'little people' do not depend on a giant Gambling Casino. Families live in the same towns, sometimes even the same homes, for generations rarely threatened with the notion that they will have to uproot their families in order to 'follow the money'.
Of course now that we introduced them to unregulated Capitalism, they may become victims themselves, unless, like Iceland, they decide to return to their own system which was far more conducive to a normal, stable lifestyle.
Face it, the boom and bust economy here is not conducive to the security of the family. And it's time to end it. The system has failed, like all 'isms' it has proven to benefit only a very small segment of the population and is crumbling as other such systems have before it. Too bad it has affected so many innocent people along the way.
