My grandfather came here around 1906, had 8 kids wife not working, no medical insurance. My father had 5 kids, wife not working, no medical insurance. I had 2 kids, wife not working, no medical insurance.
We all worked in manufacturing factories. After 1975? I watched first hand the liquidation of America, via rat poison imports. Nobody except me and George Carlin saw a problem. I was the only one in my circle that saw a big problem in the future. And here we are. Nobody out of high school can afford anything anymore.
All the crap here came from Europe. I remember it started with HMOs.
