More like the last 40 years. And, we let them do it.

The lack of empathy and community is by design. The wealthy don't want such a mindset to ever regain a hold in our society. They want us at each others' throats. That way, we are not paying attention to them.

Unfortunately, Americans do not willingly change. They have to be forced into it. That sucks, but that has been the case in my 60 years on this planet.

Those who do try to help have not lost their humanity. But, since being humane is not profitable, most choose to let it go.
