…I don’t understand your comment, I think. Is pointing out historical facts ad hominem? My (small) point was that I’m not certain that the sudden prosperity that some workers in the US enjoyed was entirely sustainable. That said, the development since the seventies or so has definitely gone hard in the other direction. I’m not competent to comment on the causes, but successful deunionization, destruction of the educational system, and overseas outsourcing of everything productive are probably in there somewhere.
Your point, is the same as anyone that wants to discount that we have been robbed of a living wage, and the facts don't back you up, you change the subject to bigotry that existed.
I don't understand your comment, tell me how racism that existed changes how our living wage was taken from us?
No time in history was without some kind of prejudice, you are dancing around it now.
Not sustainable, for working people to get a living wage you are saying. They really did a number on you huh?
