This week I had my new article published on the Mental Health Affairs blog website. I’m going to give readers the link to the essay here.
What should be added here as the corollary to what I wrote in the piece is that “geography determines biography.” Where you are born can determine your personal history and where you go in life. Or whether your opportunities are limited forever.
The failed trajectory of obtaining the American Dream is a reality for the very people shut out of the thriving cites in the Northeast corridor or elsewhere.
What I’ve been thinking about is how to best aid individuals living in rural or Rust Belt areas. They are the very ones the government can help out by giving every American a $1,000/monthly Universal Basic Income (UBI).
Sadly, elected leaders resist creating this option. They’re selling billions in arms to Saudi Arabia to fight wars in the middle east.
Where has that money been going once America gets it?
Here’s my See Who We Are article.
