Are the Straights OK?

Yeah it has a lot of benefits for capitalist class. More homes are sold, more home loans are taken out, as people become atomised they become more dependent on cars, as families are broken functions are families are moved on to the plates of businesses (for example childcare). When I was younger I used to spend a lot of time with my friends and at my friends' homes if my parents were busy which they often were. This kind of social cohesion within and between families becomes a bit rarer everyday.
