[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flip side, even cashiers can have a nice life.

They have smaller houses, smaller cars, excellent weather compare to most of US. Cheap vacations across many countries and settings.

They don’t worry about being laid off at 50 and having to become a cashier who makes so little she is eligible for snap benefits. [/quote]

Rewarding mediocrity doesn’t lead to prosperity in the long term. To an extent, an effective government needs to light a fire under people’s asses to achieve things in life. Coddling and enablement makes everyone poorer eventually [/quote]

What is mediocrity? Public servants such as a teacher, fire fighter, service member or police officer? How about line men at the local energy company or a plumber or nurse. Hell, most Americans could be “mediocre” but they live a good life. Not everyone can or wants to be in the top 10%. The majority of Americans work to live, not live to work.[/quote]

do you know any linemen, teachers, postal workers police officers? there counterparts in the rest of the developing world have a much higher standard of living and most of these working class popped in etc USA are no longer making good incomes. The bottom 50% of Americans are all incapable of living within their means- as in they do not earn enough to put a roof over there heads and food in their bellies and the lights one, they choose to forego a bill every month and that ends up costing them debt so they have to service debt. look at a sociology textbook- its all there. plumbers and electricians who own their own business make a good living as do contractors but not in any way comparable to their European counterparts.
