A hard working, average IQ blue collar Joe had an easier jerb of getting buy back then. That's for sure.Gwad said:

There's no solution because the favorable economic tailwinds that existed for the US in EVERY sector of the economy from 1945- 70 can never be replicated.

The people that claim to care the most pursue the most damaging policies to Joe -

1- Don't get pregnant or get someone pregnant in HSRaceBannon said:People can still make it in this country. Not being obsessed over what someone else has is a good start. No substitute for brains and hard work
Bill Gates being worth billions didn't come at my expense. What he developed has made my life easier
We actually did the flooring at his early office. At night. And he was roaming the halls
Most people don't want to work 24/7. I didn't. The rich people I worked for did
There is no socialist or communist system ever that made as many people rich or comfortable middle as America
Simply an indisputable fact
So stop worrying and get your ass to work kids. Stop buying into bullshit like climate change. Embrace progress and cheap energy
Don't give up
2- Graduate HS
3- Get job
4- Get married
Follow these 4 easy steps and your odds of living in poverty are less than 3%.

The flaw in CD's and @creepycoug meritocracy argument will always be that you have to give Joe a decent chance to succeed. I don't believe in going all protectionist or having no low skill immigration, but things need to be balanced from time to time. If you only favor Joes, then us non Joes get fucked. If you favor mostly non Joes, like we've done the past 40 years, then the Joes give up and start doing stupid shit.RaceBannon said:And @CirrhosisDawg calls them trash
