Colleagues. I don’t feel like having to publish 20 disclaimers here to clarify exactly what I mean. People who want to understand my message will understand them. You should not look for too many “double-bottoms” or “hidden messages” in them. Do you have a problem with the “superficiality” of my post… so be it.

    It’s only thanks to non-American, non-European countries that I can still afford to buy some things every now and then.

      At the same time if we didn’t move manufacturing to cheap labor countries the middle class would still exist as manufactures were unionized when the switch happened.

        If the objective is to ‘Detrumpfy’ like the image implies, focusing on Europe only isn’t the answer.

          I’m just saying that the struggle the gen z and alpha are facing mostly comes from globalization that killed the middle class, the person I’m replying to would probably be feeling much better if they had opportunities in front of them, opportunities which were taken from them by the likes of Reagan and Thatcher who pushed to send working class jobs to places where it could be done cheaply no matter the consequences to the people of their country.
