Alternatively, the American general standard of living rose beyond the level of sustainability.
The conditions that permitted the rise changed. The destruction of WWII combatants was rebuilt and the American pre-rebuilding dissipated. With a more level field of play, competition became a force to be reckoned with.
How that competition will be met is now being sorted out.
Museum guards and a living wage is a political matter much the same as Walmart in DC. The radical black community does not understand the ultimate forces in play.
I agree with your points.
Regarding sustainability: Americans are reacting by ending such reckless behavior as breeding and buying homes; the fallout from this will last for decades, even as government imports foreigners to live in the homes and fill the schools with their children.
“With a more level field of play, competition became a force to be reckoned with.” We didn’t have to re-build them so they could hollow out our economy. We’re still training countless Red Chinese in our universities, offices, and factories; why?
“How that competition will be met is now being sorted out.” See Americans’ reaction to sustainability above to understand how it is being sorted out.
“Museum guards and a living wage is a political matter much the same as Walmart in DC.” As with other work where people threaten to strike, if companies would abide by legal supply and demand and government would stop undercutting wages with cheap imported labor, many of these people would probably earn what they are demanding. In an increasing number of cases, they are fighting for what the jobs USED TO PAY. Before anyone suggests they should adjust, that is a hopeless task; business and government will conspire to keep them at a bare sustenance level.
