Most/all earning hundreds of millions built the companies.  

And it was impossible for the average worker in the early '70s as well. 

You voted left.

And benefited from tax cuts brought in by right wing parties.

 

You weren't even around, sonny. How would you know?

 

Of course I voted left. Trickle-down economics never worked with Reagan, and it certainly is not now. Simple greed has seen to that.

 

You are probably too dumb to understand reforms such as Medicare and the PBS in Australia were all brought in by what you call leftists. Right wing fascists never would, they are too busy creating wealth inequality.

Not commercially available... would you really want to watch a color wheel spinning?

If you're really gonna go that way....Physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld proposed the concept of a field-effect transistor (FET) in 1925, but it was not possible to construct a working device at that time.

Ever serve in the military, or were you a coward?  I'm guessing the latter.
Enjoy wallowing in your self-sanctimonious drivel. I've no time for fools like you.

Expand  

You mean a coward like Donald Trump?

Ahhh the good old boot straps talking point. Did you also walk up hill both ways 10 000 miles in the snow ? You're comparing to a world that no longer exists.

 

I'm good thanks. Im talking about how you have destroyed our nations and societies. But keep addressing it any way you want.

I paid off my house mortgage in 18 months. That is impossible for the average worker now.

Single income families were the norm even when I was growing up in the 80s. All but impossible now. The income to house price ratio for my parents was 1 : 2.5

I agree with the OP, we lived in a golden age where honesty, integrity and hard work were rewarded.

Expand  

 

Long gone. Employers and employees ghosting each other is now the norm. No loyalty on either side. Hard work means nothing except it shows you're a chump and the boss knows who to bully.

 

Gig work and side hustles have been normalised, as if work had always been that way.

 

When the decent blue collar work got offshored to China and the rest that was the beginning of the end.

Not even that, I bought my first home in Melba (ACT) in 1984 for 1 year combined gross income. Paid it off after 2 and a half years. Arrived in Australia with a few pennies, owned two cars and a house after three years. All fully paid after 5.

Your are hammering this idiocy, with nothing to back it up. 

 

But your not the only one, seems like a new way to communicate... So easy on the Internet, legacy of the Boomers.

When companies only care about profit, why should any worker care about the bosses? They don't care about us.

Nursing was ( is? ) rife with management bullies. Now they have a hard time getting western people to become one. I'd never recommend it as a job for anyone except a masochist.

And Medicare is a massive driver of the deficit.  

 

https://www.cato.org/blog/cbo-update-medicare-social-security-are-key-drivers-exploding-debt

 

  • Medicare was responsible for $449 billion in deficits (including associated interest costs), or 27 percent of the entire 2023 federal budget deficit.

Golf Clap for the liberals.
