is the American dream dead?

The story evolves.

for 40 years no improvement in their conditions
Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer, the author of "Us vs. Them: The Failure of Globalism," explains how the American working and middle classes haven't seen improved standards of living over the past 40 years. This has resulted in the rise in antiestablishment figures like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders — mirroring the populist wave in Europe. Following is a transcript of the video.
 
She can't here...lol...but it's funny to watch her keep poking at the rules. The Socks and Mason have paid the price for her, though;)

yep the white christstains are the most hated

You mean people who posted things like this?

I spit in the face of the black guy.
Obama was nothing more than another black failure in a government job and another black family in government housing. Stupid nigger.
If you're black and you vote democrat, then you're a "nigger". If you're white and you vote democrat, then you're "white trash". If you're Asian and you vote democrat, then you're a "zipper head". If you're Hispanic and you vote democrat, then you're a "wetback".

I'm an idiot for responding to a troll so I'll acknowledge that point up front. Jews are actually hated the world over. Look how the strong anti-semitism currently is from our supposedy more enlightened European friends. We already know the feelings towards Jews in the Middle East. And why does Farrakhan call you an enemy? Pretty funny seeing a 69 year old troll thinking he's woke get called out by Farrakhan
 
By any definition, Desh is clearly guilty of racist posts, yet her fellow liberals refuse to acknowledge that fact, it seems.
 
Are America's Best Days Behind Us?

F*ckin' Ay?!!

America’s best days might be behind us, argues Eduardo Porter in a piece for the New York Times.

According to Porter, the new book The Rise and Fall of American Growth by economist Robert J. Gordon makes a convincing case that American growth, prosperity, and innovation are significantly slowing down. So much so that today’s young people will be the first generation since the end of the 1800’s to not double the standard of living of their parents.

Gordon writes that the period of 1920 to 1970 saw the greatest rate of progress in the history of this country. Unfortunately, he believes it was a one-time phenomenon.Now, progress will continue at a far more gradual pace:

“Innovation will trundle along at the same pace of the last 40 years, Professor Gordon predicts. Despite the burst of progress of the Internet era, total factor productivity — which captures innovation’s contribution to growth — rose over that period at about one-third the pace of the previous five decades.

That’s hardly the worst part of the story. The labor force will continue to decline, as aging baby boomers leave the work force and women’s labor supply plateaus. And gains in education, an important driver of productivity that expanded sharply in the 20th century, will contribute little.”


​
Further, Gordon says that what gains are made will not be shared by the majority. 99% of population will see almost no expansion of their disposable income in the next few decades.

The only potential saving grace is technology. Porter says that no economist is able to predict when a technological breakthrough will happen, and technological breakthroughs change everything: “Science has piggybacked on technology ever since Galileo used a telescope to develop a new understanding of the heavens. This new science, in turn, led to new technological innovations.”

Should the 99% of us prepare to tighten our belts? Or should we put faith in the words of the French economist who said, “Pessimism has consistently been a poor guide to the modern economic world”?
