The sad thing isn't really the income levels. It's the fact Americans are sold on spending all their income. Even more with credit cards.Skans » 12 Mar 2024, 12:31 pm » wrote: ↑ I really only had two points to what I said. The first point was that @Monderegal was incapable of even framing a position on so-called "economics". He's like trying to pin down the precise location of an electron at any given point in time - like a nebulous cloud of truncated possibilities which goes nowhere.
My second point was the Economy of 2024 is a nearly impossible one in which most young Americans can thrive. A few lucky sperms will thrive. Many will just tread water their entire lives. Others can only tread water for a short period of time, until they realize they are penniless and then drown. And, still others are forever debt-ridden servants moving in and out of homelessness and despair, never to surface from the great pool of suffocation.
Socialism and handouts will not fix this. We have to jump back to genuine prosperity. Less government. Less Regulation. A place were most people feel invested in their own lives and in America. Yes, more dirt, grime, grease, grit and C02.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
