If more people wanted to be stay at home parents, the earning power for an individual would go up. And it's still very possible to afford children. The economy is good. The economy is also bigger than it was before. If the economy were so great for the middle and working classes, they would be earning more. pls posted... You just can't have it all right out of college, especially not if you fucked up and majored in something useless. You could have it right after dropping out of high school before. Now you have to finish high school AND get through a 4+ year program to earn less money than that drop-out in the past. If the economy is so good, why is it so much harder to earn a decent living? pls posted... Wages have kept up, assuming you're in a good in-demand field. It's really only for unskilled labor that wages are stagnant. If wages kept up, the two incomes would've doubled purchase power compared to that single high school dropout of the past. The caveat of "good in-demand field" is bullshit. The work is just as in-demand, it just pays less. pls posted... And global population is still growing, so we could do to have fewer births in any case. "Actually it's a good thing that people can't afford to raise a family. Also, the economy is great, believe me!" --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
