What a simplistic way to look at the problem.
I'm pretty sure no one can "help" the working class
How's that?
Raising minimum wage and spending loads of money causes temporary boosts but it gets worse after the boom dies
Actually the conditions are either going to improve in the long run or the jobs will be replaced by machines. This is because the world population increase is starting to slow down. In the US for instance the main population is decreasing if you exclude immigration because people are having less than two children on average
People have less kids when times are shit. There are fixes but with the economy, state of the world, politics, global warming and environmental issues ppl just don't want kids and I don't blame em.
That's not it though. Times are much better than they were 100 years ago. It has more to do with people becoming more educated.
American life expectancy is declining. Theory doesn’t mean anything if you never observe reality.
Life expectancy may be declining but you have fridges now! People 100 years ago didn't have that.
That's due to covid. I'm pretty sure it will bounce back by 2033.
Why is everyone so doom and gloom? Can't you just be happy [email protected]
Well the working class could. But that's why they keep us divided.
