Steve Kerr on his biggest concern about America Today
“When I finished college almost forty years ago, if you went to school and got a degree, you could get a job and you could buy a house. Now that's out of reach for most people between student debt and home prices and the economy slanted toward the very, very top one per cent. We don't really have a middle class, and we don't have what used to represent the American Dream, which was: you can do better than your parents. We're going backward on all that. Our family is lucky. I'm in a position where my family can live well. But there are millions of people out there, young people who are looking at the horizon and saying, "I did everything I was told I needed to do, and I can't buy a house, and I can't chase my dream." Think about what that means for the stability of communities and cities and a whole country.”

@EliasToufexis It’s just skewed media. The internet is unfortunately built to give attention (clicks & likes) to the most virtriol and negative posts.
This in turn generates money. Consequently, we have swarms of idiots trying their hardest to obtain that attention….
