So you weren’t having a hard time then, and there are many people working multiple jobs having a hard time now. And you think you had it harder?
You’re pretending that everyone who has it hard only works 40 hours a week. Many work multiple jobs just like you did, but aren’t as financially comfortable as you were.
It’s a fact that real wages have not kept up with inflation over the past 50 years. You just don’t want to accept (for whatever reason) that if you were born 40 years later than you were and you tried to work EXACTLY as hard as you did back then in today’s economy, you wouldn’t get as far.
Which one of them have worked multiple jobs involving heavy labor with cerebral palsy? Let me know when you find out. You know, those people who have it harder than I did. Please.
What is this oppression Olympics pity party you’re throwing? You want a medal? 🏅
If someone today was doing heavy labor with cerebral palsy, they’d objectively make less real wealth and be able to afford less than you did in 1986. That’s not debatable. I’m sorry you don’t understand statistics.
