Stupid article. We had international travel back then, and long before.
RE: We had international travel back then, and long before.
How long did it take for the 2016 Billionaire to travel from New York to London compared to the average Middle Class today?
Yup,we did.But consider my family's travel history:
Paternal grandmother: born in Ireland,came to the US (NYC to be precise) at the age of 6 months.Immediately moved to Connecticut for a short period and then on to Boston,where she lived for the rest of her life.During her life after arrival in Boston she visited her daughter in Vermont several times,having passed through New Hampshire to get there.
So her 73 year long lifetime travel history was: Ireland,New York (a few hours),Connecticut,Massachusetts,New Hampshire and Vermont.
Her son,my Dad,traveled regularly to Europe and Asia on business and to Europe with my Mom on vacation.
I've traveled frequently to Europe,a half dozen times to various points in Asia,three times to Africa,three times to Australia and twice to South America.
And my Mom,Dad and I were/are all never anything more than "middle class".
