The main problem after our peak of prosperity, was too many Americans gleefully started buying IMPORTED cars. Do you drive one? I’ll best most posters here own one or two. I tried warning my friends to not do that. I drive a 2001 GMC Jimmy, and an ’89 Chevy van and my son drives a ’98 GMC Jimmy.
Business people I knew started buying Japanese and Korean machinery because they were so good and so cheap. I warned them too, they were buying and eating rat poison they re all out of business because the dumb as a stump USA during Ragan gave tax breaks to buy them.
Every year newer the cars get worse for all the stupid stupid welfare electronics. Who the hell wants a car that the motor shuts off every time you stop at a lite. I knew something was wrong when they killed JFK in 1963, and then came the dumb ass stump gov’t gave us the gun control act of 1968. The end of mail ordering a rifle. Plus they stuffed us into the stupid Vietnam War and so many others.
Basically to have a minimum wage equal to pre 1970 minimum wage it would have to be $50/hour, that $2000/week meaning you can afford $2000/month for rent. Joe McCarthy Was Right.
