They worked as everyone else. We have so much more than they had today. Haven’t we as all post ww2 generations enjoyed their successes as well?

Once I was kind of like you are now Latecomer. I was an Obama fan of all things for instance. He was going to fix the system. Instead he just made the system larger and more effective. The wars continued etc etc. As time goes by some things change and a lot don’t. Seldom does one get what one deserves, instead something random happens and turns everything upside down in a day. Sometimes I wish I was young again 😕 Bah.

Yeah, life has it’s ups and downs. But you have to keep trying, or the ups will get fewer and the downs more. There’s no magic fix - just an endless path to better futures.

Has there even been another US president that has had this much fanatical devotion dedicated t them then Trump?
 
I get that every president has had some more extreme supporters f them, but with Trump people are legit acting like he is some sort of God with disturbing cult like behaviour.

They had the welfare state at their backs to ensure the needs of the many were satisfied. Then they decided unilaterally that “government is the problem” and undid all the safety nets so what they didn’t have to pay in taxes anymore could be reinvested in getting even more filthy rich without those dirty peons getting a slice of it.
 
Inequalities have exploded over the past half-century and this generation is already having it worse than their parents. So if by “we” you mean “the top earners”, then you’re right.

“Belong” was the name of their courses and it seems to be taken down.
 
@Ereiam  
Not my impression here but I can’t say how it is in France. We have not undone the safety nets or systems, they have been expanded. (Perhaps too much.) I see the increasing inequality in earnings here as well though.

You’re the lucky ones in Norway. France has managed to stem the neoliberal tide to an extent (and even then, the social discontent is ever-mounting). In other countries like the US or UK however (especially the former), the consequences have been disastrous.

Thing is, we can’t finance it anymore. Welfare is very expensive and state finances are running out. By 2030-40 it’s pretty much gone. They say they will fix it but I have no idea how.

In more “Sure sucks taxing the rich means socialism, huh?” news, Jeff Bezos is making news again for buying a $500 million super yacht, a yacht that comes with it’s own “support yacht” because the super yacht couldn’t fit a helipad on it.
 
‘Oh hey that must’ve put a dent in his wallet’ you might think. No, no it didn’t. Bezos is worth over $200 billion - that’s billion with a B - and almost $300 billion. So I did some math and that means 500M to him is about roughly 0.02% of his wealth. Not 2%, 1/5 of 1% of his wealth.
 
Some more math tells me that for a middle class family, spending 1/5 of 1% of their wealth on something is about $100, or basically an average microwave oven. Spending 1/5 of 1% when you work minimum wage pre-tax, mind you is the equivalent of…$24. More or less half a tank of gas at today’s prices. The richest man in the world - and a man who’s company no joke pays 0 dollars in taxes - spends the poorest man’s equivalent of half a tank of gas when he buys a yacht so big it comes with its own “support yacht”.
 
This is insanity. But when you combine that news with the piece of news from the same week about another Amazon worker being found dead in their warehouse it goes from just “insanity” to “Capitalism”.

IKR? As all us neoliberals know, poor people are just lazy since they only work 8-10 hours a day. If they wanted to be billionaires then they too should work 552,000 hours a day. I mean, obviously.

No corporate exec should be paid more than 100 times the lowest wage of their employees. No one is that valuable and invariably they hoard their fortune instead of using it for any purpose constructive to society.
 
I don’t like supporting Amazon, but sometimes it’s my best choice and that’s the fault of their competitors for not offering a better option.

no idea. I went into the story in media res so all I got was that up to 1500 palestinians were evicted by IDF and up to 300 are now injured. Some dead.
 
Media calls it conflict. Some with more brain cells considered it as much conflict as it was when germany was forcefully relocating the jews back then.
 
If you’re not laughing from the irony right now, you’re crying from the tragedy.
