Most people work 40+ hours and still barely get by. We have a problem, yes. Is that what our fake American Dream is supposed to be?
My Fiance wouldn't be able to afford rent these days on her $20 wage. That's $40,000 pre-tax, which in 2023 dollars, isn't even median nor average income, whichever method you want to compare it to, I get them confused myself.
Remember "Fight for $15?" $15 sucks and is what they pay kids (teens, young adults) because they live at home and don't have to pay for much. However they won't pay people in their 30s or 40s much more because they prefer to have high turnover so as long as it keeps their payroll down.
In most industries there is no real appreciation of skill, talent, or dedication these days because cheaper wins out every time. You know about H1B visas and moving entire manufacturing factories overseas?
Our country is in deep shit but no one wants to have a legitimate conversation because they're afraid of talking poorly against immigrants or foreigners or globalism as a whole.
Thanks for that, I thought better of my comment after making it. It's perspective, I've found hard work to pay off, not everyone has the same experience.

By the way I am not a "Bernie Bro" and never was. He said what he said because it is popular amongst the younger crowds that backed him. But he wouldn't have changed anything except tax small business even harder and make them close up shop too (furthering moving industry overseas because its cheaper.)

Then lots of people in this group are bald faced liars.
I constantly see people here complaining that they cant/or can barely make ends meet on full time wages or even with second jobs.
Could it be because of Bidenomics? Have you seen the inflation numbers-every news media outlet says it is subsiding, but it really isn't/hasn't so we are living in tough economic times, and Biden doesn't care-he gets enough to live on for 10 families here, because of the corruption.
It's not just Biden. People have been struggling a while. The Great Recession wiped out a lot of people, my most productive working years (age wise) were wasted because of no jobs. Underemployment is definitely a thing.
But things really went south HARD during the pandemic. For millions and millions of people. That doesn't just correct itself as soon as the pandemic is over. Lots of jobs just vanished, with businesses closing everywhere.
And while it's fun and satisfying to blame everything on Biden and the Dems, you should know just as well as I do that the entire economy isn't under their control. Not to say their policies haven't shat the bed. They have.
But if what people here are saying about an economic collapse coming soon, then that is supposedly being done by the White Hats in order to get us back on the gold standard. And it's supposed to be done before Trump gets back in office, so he won't be blamed for it. So we might be seeing the start of that.
So in the sense of fairness, no matter what Biden does, the economy is going to be shit. Until it completely collapses and a new economy is born from the rubble.

Good to see you
Isn't it, though?
Welcome lib bot, can you sing some sad song about rich men north of Richmond?
