  • I’ve never heard of the show that was referenced. I know many Americans that have financially supported their elder parents. Basically the quality of care that their parents receive is based on how much the adult children can afford.

    I feel like some American seniors have more money than their adult children, and the children expect to receive an inheritance once their parents die.

    If someone has reasons for not financially supporting their parents, like a deeply strained relationship due to past trauma caused by the parent, I suppose I could understand that.

    But America is a big country. I’m sure there are assholes that tell their 90 year old parent to get a job when they could afford to help. But I feel like most Americans would recognize this as cruel.

    Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and can’t afford to give much.

    I think it’s lazy advice to tell people they can save money by not giving their family financial assistance.















  • I didn’t feel like anyone “won” - Do you?

    Mark Ferrell did the most finger pointing. It’s a shame London Breed didn’t participate because I’d like to hear her goals for another term. I learned more about all of these candidates.

    I wish the moderation format would have been that every candidate answered the same question so I could hear clearer comparison of their differences.
