> Rising wages? There has been no meaningful real increase in wages in 40 years despite a massive increase in productivity.

If you're telling me that the AVERAGE person in the West is worse off now than in 1925 or even 1965, you're delusional.

MAYBE the average white male. But even that I am highly skeptical...

Was life better in 1995 or 2005 or 2012? I dunno. There's ups and downs. The trend line has been obvious.
