Many stay, in part, because of financial constraints. Victims of domestic abuse and their children need strong social supports that provide housing, job training, therapy, healthcare, etc for at least a year to help them get back on their feet. If only we lived in a care economy

Now Specifically talk about the PRIVATE FEDERAL RESERVE CARTEL and where money comes from and where taxes go. That’s abusive codependency since 1913.

It’s honestly key to understanding the political duopoly in the US. Also applies to the stranglehold the Democratic Party exerts on the people, offering nothing in return, not even the slightest concession, as people die left and right from lack of care and vital help.
