From poverty. Used to have a car only for Sundays. Clothes for Sundays. Could provide for a whole family with 6 to 9 kids on one salary. Convinced women they were “oppressed in the home” when in reality the slave workforce - who made enough for many pairs of shoes & fancy hats in fancy boxes & Sunday best for the whole family - protected them from the time clock/workforce. Once women got put to work, taxation doubled. Money surplus. No need at all to raise wages, so wages stagnated as more & more entered the workforce. Boomers are not boomers. They are the greatest generation & everyone today is blinded to all of this.
