many senior citizens exhibit childlike behavior for various reasons
as age-related dependency, dementia, Alzheimer, and so on
then there are adults who have not outgrown their childhood …
many missed sufficient emotional growth to act in an adult-manner
Europe’s colonial masters, with a whip, treated subjects like children
in the US colonies. black slaves were called “boy“
even in 21st century, some white men call black employees “boy“
in East Africa, the native blacks suffered indignities
the dometic helpers were addressed as “boyto”
now
the great United States has forced many people to become kids …
extreme income disparity has forced adults to buy “kids” menu
in 2025, 31% of the people ordered the lower priced meals
on the other hand,
things are drastically different in the wealth-world
in 2020, there were 927 billionaires in the US
as of 2024, the US has 1,135 billionaires, an increase of 208 billionaires
the combined worth of 1,135 billionaires is $5.7 trillion
(1 trillion has 12 zeros in it — or $5,700,000,000,000)
inflation has turned poor blacks, browns, and whites into kids!
