In Europe you top out at a level of material prosperity that Americans would find unacceptable. You have ZERO possibility for building wealth in Europe. There is no "economic mobility" in Europe.
Most of the post-WWII prosperity and middle-class grwoth in the US was thanks to most of the rest of the industrialized world being reduced to rubble. The 1950s-1970s boom in the US was a consequence of having the only industrial base that was completely intact after the war. Once the rest of the world rebuilt, that type of growth was impossible to sustain and we started to see stagnating wages and economic problems.
The problem with that thesis is that when Europe rebuilt, they did so with a robust labor movement in place and have since overtaken the US in terms of economic mobility and the economic factors that made up what used to be called the "American Dream".
We killed the golden goose in the US by suppressing the labor movement. Fortunately, it's coming back.
But just like pony express, steam powered cars or muskets, unions are an important thing of the past that is no longer relevant in the present. Move on, dude.
I bet you didn't know that the labor movement is making a comeback.
The fact that you pretend to understand what is going on with unions when you have never had a union job in your life, or even a deep friendship with union workers, is pretty laughable...
Not only have I had more than one union job, but I come from a union family. Three generations of union members. My grandfather was in the union working for the railroad and my father was a union machinist. When I was an undergraduate, I worked on South Water Market loading and unloading trucks and had a union pin. Since unions got weaker (starting in the late 80s), workers' wages have been stagnant. During the union era, those wages had healthy growth.

Why do you support slave labor? That's what unions are, forced dues for no return while people that don't even manage the store they work at live high of the little peoples' income.
I'm curious, how exactly did you get this stupid? And I'm not joking or purposely trying to insult you (well, maybe a little), but what kind of bizarro-world information outlets are you frequenting to get information that is the exact upside-down of reality?
I think they may be putting something in all those red pills you take, and it sure ain't the truth.
is cheaper than Whole Foods, has just as much organic produce, and has union workers that aren't treated as disposible tissues to wipe Bezos' butt with.
We have the same thing in my sleep little West Coast town. There's a store, and I don't know how they do it, but they have incredibly low prices on organic food, produce, fruit and meat. Most of it is locally-sourced and there's even a very good wine and coffee selection. They don't have everything all the time, so if you see a good deal on something, you've got to grab a few of them. There's a Whole Foods about 1/2 mile away and I see people going in there, but most of them will also come to this local chain.
Of course, I'm a little skeptical that Trump doesn't actually know the difference I'd expect him to be familiar with STDs since he considered STDs to be his personal Vietnam [people.com].
He raw-dogged a porn star. Whatever he may have once known about STDs, his dementia has caused him to forget.
Why do the same people who believe science can do no wrong when it comes to modifying genes also believe that 98% of scientists are wrong when it comes to climate change?
Does Pluto get to go on Rachel Maddoc's show, and all the Day Shows7, after collecting the 130k?
If Mickey doesn't sign the NDA and claims the cucking never happened, then absolutely. He gets to go on all the cable TV shows. You know, live by the cable news and die by the cable news. Also, everybody likes dogs.
I can guarantee that able-bodied individuals will find a way to get a competitive advantage by using this
I used to think covering my eyes would make me play harmonica and sing as well as Stevie Wonder. It didn't work out that way, and I doubt using this adaptive controller will work that way either.
My wife says she'll just put the couch and me onto a raft and float me out to sea while she shoots flaming arrows at it. I actually think that's kind of poetic, but I'm hoping she waits until I'm dead.

Sure it was.
I didn't say "US Labor" was suppressed. I said the labor movement was suppressed.
It's making a comeback, by the way.
There is a $130,000 payment and a non-disclosure agreement regarding a sexual relationship. And her testimony.
Who is more trustworthy, Donald Trump or Stormy Daniels? As far as we know, Stormy's never lied publicly.

Trump? What does he have to do with this? You libs need to stop making everything about Trump.
Laws don't matter any more. Break 'em or not, if nobody's going to do anything about it, go right ahead. I'm getting that directly from the top.
The opinion column that you have linked to does not say what you claim it says.

Wait, who is "Don"? We're talking about Mickey and Minnie.

Throw Pluto in the mix for some cuck porn, but pay him $130,000 to sign an NDA. That seems to be the going rate.
I'm surprised you don't realize that "Feminists don't have sex" is the self-own of a sad boy.
Gosh, you're so hostile. You shouldn't let yourself get so upset.
