  1.  @BitTheByte  Proportionately, yes! They were far better off than McDonalds employees at that time too. The part you're missing is there was far less opportunity to do better than that back then so it was better for the 'peasants'. We now have a ton of professional gigs that pay what only doctors, lawyers and architects made. The downside is, if you aren't willing to earn those gigs it's a step down from the old days. Keep in mind a house was < 1k sq feet and the only luxuries you had were tv and radio.

  2. So they just want the benefits of an elite job. You don't say?

  3.  @Saliferous  I fully understand inflation, friend. You don't understand economics. Entry level has never been easier, and therefore, less valuable. At one point delivering a pizza required knowing the town, a cashier had to make change, etc. Now a 15 year old w/no experience does it just as well. You are straight up less valuable than years ago.

  4.  @iamcleaver6854  It doubled the demand without more supply. That drives up prices. Economics 101. I'm certainly not blaming women, but that's just math.

  5. You know how you try to find the lowest price possible to make the most of your money? Them too

  6. I made the same argument for mortgage forgiveness.

  7.  @temtem9255  Exactly this. People have no idea how money works, they just want more.

  8. The reality is that entry level labor has never been less valuable due to the investments of the rich. You use GPS to deliver a pizza, the PoS makes change for you, the kid at the hardware store is just going to google, etc. When an untrained HS student off the street can do 90% of your job, you lose bargaining power. It really is that simple. The fact we have self-checkouts, everything is disposable, etc is just salt in the wound.

  9. What, exactly, do you think the limiting factor in robotics is?

  10.  @iamcleaver6854  There are X houses. You're the only one whose wife doesn't work. That does not double the need for houses but almost doubled the buying power of those families. How do you suppose that pans out?

  11.  @danielrusk9761  One of the earliest documented inflations occurred in Alexander the Great's empire 330 BCE But stay mad and ignorant

  12. Google is your friend, being a jerk is not: As a result, dual-earner families were not the subject of widespread interest until the late 1960's when dramatic increases in wives' labor force participation rates began to capture public attention. Averages during the 1 income period: 1920: 1,048 square feet 1930: 1,129 1940: 1,177 1950: 983 1960: 1,289

  13.  @luisfilipe2023  All you have to do is say "just" or "only" and suddenly its reasonable to expect it!
