-What happened?
dumbasses need this to be a very simple answer.
it's not.
Many many things happened.
The US won WWII and enjoyed a competitive advantage in many industries for the next 25+ years
Technology and automation exploded and continues to since
Treaties and Trade agreements expanded labor all over the globe
a middle class has emerged all over the world....billions of people joined the middle class
The US has seen shifts in political parties that drives shifts in trade and tax policy
I could go on but those are usually agreed upon things that have happened. The argument is how much credit does any single item on the list receive.
The last 1 I posted appears to be the only 1 some here accept as being a real and meaningful event.
Which is absurd. Does it belong on the list? Of course but nobody here has a shred of a clue as to how much weight to place on it.
-CLAUDIO thinks that Trump is one of the Common People.
EBERLY doesn't.
But you don't care either way. Anybody who pretends they do is lying to themselves.
It's about as significant as military service.
It's OK. You're not a bad person because you don't really care about the wealth of a presidential candidate.
Just don't pretend otherwise
