Lack of infrastructure (no bullet train or domestic jobs that pay people a living wage), wealth gap widening, no worker unions, college debt, hiding the truth, the lack of care of the constant corruption in Wall Street, and extreme cost of living.

You think that it can realistically can be like this 10 years from now? :dame:

Just look at the weak public transportation in most places and the decades of lingering with crumbling public services is :scust:

Why is that people that Want America to be on top, don't want to invest in it or move politically and economically to the left? :jbhmm: As if they want a short cut and undermine the process to reach the goal of a 1st world country.

America is a great place if you're really skilled and talented in a niche area. If you're just an average working stiff, you're basically one medical problem or paycheck away from financial disaster.

The 50s-80's was a fluke in history where just anyone could work a menial job and make a great wage. Today we're back to the way things always were before that. It's even getting to the point where a self-proclaimed socialist presidential candidate is getting some serious attention

Not everyone can be an engineer or a doctor and do that for 40 years. And we don't even create anything anymore; all the IT workers merely manage foreign technology and just a shift worker in the age of globalization. We paying for being a service-only economy and that will send us to third world status. :ld:

how do those two categories distribute in the US, in your opinion? like...would you say we have 88.9475% of the former and 11.0525% of the latter? what percentages are you seeing, in your opinion?

How do you think this fluke happened? do you think it was complete randomness or was there generations of broken bones, teeth and bloodshed, fighting and scraping to make it happen? or do you think it was like rolling three die and coming up 8, 8, 8?

lol, right? the nerve of that guy
first he insists that socialism isn't a dirty word


then when that failed he started calling himself a democratic socialist,

I bet he had his team of stans go on the web and get rid of all the videos of him proclaiming his oath to mother Russia

50-80s were basically the stimulus package the USA got from being the last/only man standing at the end of WW2.

Every other industrial nation got rocked in WW2, USA escaped pretty much unscathed. First cracks don't start to show up until the 70s..


The future wasn't prepared for in this country :manny:

Everyone else rolled three dice and came up 0, 0, 0. We nuked and firebombed our closest asian competitor out of the race, after they spent two generations raping and pillaging their way through all their competition. The rest of Asia and all of Africa were still colonialized. We CIA raped anyone in South America that got too big for their britches, and Europe had a 2 generation long suicide pact

America of the 50's-80's was a fluke. The fluke didn't happen because we did well. The fluke happened because everyone else either shyt the bed or were getting held down. Better?
more relevant but not better. I am barely able to understand what you are saying. in any case;
can you substantiate your answer with any evidence? or is that a pure opinion?
