Famed director Martin ScorseseĀ made news last monthĀ when he explained to film critic PeterĀ Travers why he no longer went to see movies in a theater. Citing audience cellphone use, incessant talking and generally restive behavior that often drowns out dialogue, the director of āTaxi Driver,ā āRaging Bullā and āGoodfellasā told Travers heād had enough.

Families that are unable to build generational wealth struggle to contribute to societal wealth.
