When a government program encourages more out of wedlock children with the absence of a male head of household, that usurps job losses.Different issue
Decline of the nuclear family is a sociological problem correlated to the loss of manufacturing jobs in urban areas
The US hasn’t existed for 300 years. And slavery is an atrocity the US inherited not invented.The US is responsible for the atrocities that she inflicted upon her citizens.
You are putting the cart before the horseWhen a government program encourages more out of wedlock children with the absence of a male head of household, that usurps job losses.
So that was the first time (1960s) that families struggled because of the loss of the family breadwinner? It didn’t happen in the 20s? 30s? You have now shifted the cause to the loss of the family breadwinner. Before, it was because manufacturing jobs left the cities. You say both events as causes as if they had never happened in US History. Again, Great Society and Civil Rights Legislation passed, yet gun violence skyrocketed but it was not the first time jobs left. Why did gun violence skyrocket?You are putting the cart before the horse
Families struggled because of the loss of earning from the family breadwinner before the Government stepped in to help them
why would that cause people to have children out of wedlock exactly? Having less money to support children doesnt seem like a driver to have more of them. I also dont understand why you would think that would cause people to not get married who otherwise would.You are putting the cart before the horse

An atrocity that she allowed to go on for almost 100yrs and the US didn't inherit Jim Crow, she didn't inherit racism and discrimination against her citizens of color.The US hasn’t existed for 300 years. And slavery is an atrocity the US inherited not invented.
It might have something to do with the fact that there is no legal definition of mass shootingI can’t find a more recent chart of mass shootings. But they just go up exponentially as the chart continues. But there is one common theme among the timeline charts compiled out there - they only go back to the 1960’s. For good reason - mass shootings of strangers began in the 1960’s. I’m not talking about what family members and gangs have done, they go back to the days BC. I’m talking about walking into a room of strangers or slight acquaintances like coworkers and just murder them.

Americans have always owned guns. My father and his friends took rifles to school to go rabbit hunting afterwards. Machine guns and even cannons were owned by citizens through much of American history.
So what changed during the 1960’s to start this upward trend?
I’ll offer a theory as to what occurred. If you don’t like it, fine. But offer your own theory as to the catalyst that started this.
1. Decline in morality
The narcissistic ‘Me’ era was being born in the 60’s. It’s all about me. Christianity was removed from schools in 1962. Instead of sitting on the porch talking to neighbors we started sitting in front of the boob tube. Drug use was rising for the first time in America. We chuckle at ‘Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll’ but there’s a lot to it. Sex outside of marriage and drugs are huge addictions that cause good people to do a lot of stupid things throughout history. Christianity has been on the decline since the 60’s and being replaced by every other religion.
2. Criminal behavior being idolized
In the 60’s Hollywood began a transition from movies with a moral theme to darker themed movies that now in the past few decades idolizes violent crime. Many of the mass shootings in the past few decades have been copycat I want my face to be remembered too crimes of insanity.
3. Soft on crime
The movement to eliminate the death penalty went into overdrive in the 60’s. We made it clear to everyone that no matter how horrific your actions are, we will just lock you up and give you 3 hot meals a day and you can be the cell block hero who killed all those people. Then we started to release violent felons from prison early with no justification. Right now the average time served for first degree murder is just 10 years. 68% of felons on parole will be rearrested within 3 years, 77% after 5 years. And that’s just the ones caught.
4. Illegal drug use
Illegal drug use kicked into full swing in the 60’s. Illiterate people say drugs don’t hurt anyone. Fact is drugs literally eat your body from the inside out, including your brain. And once it’s talons have sunk into you, it’s a one way road. Many children born to drug addicts have mental issues, including a lack of empathy towards others. They’d just as much get entertained watching you slowly die from being shot as they would anything else.

True, but we do have records of events like school and work shootings. And we’ve gone from extremely rare 50 years ago to now a monthly occurrence.It might have something to do with the fact that there is no legal definition of mass shooting

How many people must die in a shooting before it’s termed a ‘mass shooting’? Four people? Two? None atwww.politifact.com
When the breadwinner had a good paying job, they got marriedwhy would that cause people to have children out of wedlock exactly? Having less money to support children doesnt seem like a driver to have more of them. I also dont understand why you would think that would cause people to not get married who otherwise would.
Being a leftist you would think money prevents relationships.When the breadwinner had a good paying job, they got married
When the breadwinner has no job prospects they do not marry.
