Classic UK example this week in the UK. Farmers are complaining that changes to inheritance tax relief will destroy traditional farms that have been in the same family for generations. The current tax relief system dates from 1984 so all those previous generations managed ok before that.

The 'nuclear family' is called that because it's only a *piece* of a family.

For most of human existence, a family was a crowd of extended relatives and non-relations collectively raising a herd of kids. Not unlike every other social mammal.

@nathans Anything a baby boomer did for a holiday twice as a kid is now sacred tradition.
@nathans The more I learn about today's "normal", the more I realize that our modern society would probably be considered insane by historical standards.
@PepperTheVixen @nathans I kinda understand your point, but I feel like "clinically insane" might not be the most...woke choice of words.
@flesh @nathans you’re right, that was a bad choice. Thanks for pointing it out!
@nathans or promulgated in the fifties as part of the moral panic of jazz and the red scare.
