    You made a claim about 1950s income you now can’t back up? Interesting.

        Yes, because women generally didn’t work. That’s a terrible metric.

          But that’s the argument people are making, that you could live better on one income in the 50s. But actually, not really. You would have less money, even if you include inflation. People these days have higher rates of home ownership, car ownership, TV ownership than people in the 50s.

          Look at ANY metric of “having money or stuff” and people today are better off
