Americans Lose Faith That Hard Work Leads to Economic Gains

[bnew]

It’s hard to believe once upon a time you could raise a family and buy a house by oworking at a factory.

Like what’s was the crisis in those days?
What did people worry about

supermarket cashiers got pensions, a butcher could support a household of 4-5 people and go on vacation every year,

The hoarding of these billionaires is upsetting that peculiar, delicate balance that keeps the illusion of the American Dream a reality.

What happens when people say eff it, it's not worth it?

Koreans and Japanese have solved this problem by jumping off buildings

Crime was absolutely horrendous. You could have a good life, but defending it was rough . Vietnam brought home a bunch of deranged people.


You had absolute lunatics like Richard Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmer or Manson just randomly breaking into homes and executing everyone. Like you literally could not stop them or catch them unless you caught them in the act. Folks like Ramirez were taught to be serial killers from their deranged relatives returning from Vietnam. Rape was like an Olympic sport to the Ramirez or Dahmer types and most murderers got away with it.


Dont even get me started on the gang violence. Even before crack, you had black heroine gangs, Italian Mafia cocaine gangs, and whole extortion rings by Russians, Irish, arian bikers, triads, etc.

Pretty much, before camera phones, GPS, and DNA evidence, humans were savages and did anything they could get away with.

My uncle had two kids, a wife, literally worked in a factory. Owned a home and 2 cars. His wife was a teacher and they lived comfortably. I remember going to his block and they all had neat 2 story homes and the neighbors were post office workers, city workers, etc etc.

This is why the quality of everything has went down

But number goo up brr

Working hard gets you..... an opportunity to work hard another day

 

[Majestyx]

what took them so long to see the reality

The economy is really bad right now and debt is eating away at every one’s pocket

 

[Depreciating Asset]

We need an entirely new constitution and system of government. This version is failing. It's been studied, its flaws exposed by the wealthy and 'we the people' now have very little power.

I am not a revolutionary in my middle age but I don't know how we are going to get from where we are to where we need to be without some dramatic event altering our course.

Current generations fail to realize the creation of the Federal Reserve doomed America.
They put money creation in the hands of the bankers of the world. America isn't controlled within itself anymore. The value of the dollar has been dropping ever since. That's why inflation is so bad now.

It was bound to fail before you were even born.
Working hard is not going to save it.

Now the government is controlled by corporations, so they will not listen to the general population. You might as well work for yourself and family.

They woke up. I won’t say it’s 100 percent. But my company for example will do some shyt like post record profits after laying people off. It’s not a 1 to 1 guarantee you work hard and get paid well. Most companies give below COL raises regardless of performance and sometimes reward people who don’t work hard while those who work hard only get rewarded with more work and the possible label of being too valuable in their position to move them higher.

They value people that are slave drivers more than the slaves.
