News@lemmy.world•'We are essentially in a new Gilded Age’: As workers get laid off, CEOs and shareholders gobble up hundreds of billions in profits
23·2 years agoSo, we have been progessing over time, until recently, correct?
Now lets bring being poor as a different demographic than white male in history as well.

31·2 years agoBut would you consider that poor then? Maybe money was easier to obtain, but starvation/malnutrition rates have constantly been on a steady decline until the last few years. Not often you see people using a burlap sack to cloth their families, child labor, things like that. And we do have a lot of social programs like SNAP that didnt exist pre-1970s.1980s had the Homeless act. The world has changed drastically in the last 50-100 years.
But I guess you could make solid arguments that the economy is generally harder now, so its worse for the majority, incuding the poor.

153·2 years agoFuck billionaires and all, but I think two things are wrong with this.
First, comparing hollywood to real life. They were making super yachts in the 1800s. El Mahrousa was built in 1865 and still in the top 10 in size.
But those megayachts sre super unnecessary and terrible for enviroment.
Secondly, times just generally changed. Poor people shifted a lot too. 1970s poor was a lot more poor than modern poor generally.
But we should still fix the system that fucks over thr majority.
Wait, so you are saying you have either lived continuously on a 29ft boat for 5 years, or only have visited land by dinghy or something while its anchored?
Wild. That’s got to be a nasty looking hull though.

I’m trying hard to find a fact that its getting worse, but seems like the last research done on the temporary/permanently swapped babies was 1998, and the handling of babies has improved greatly since then.
Have you read something that makes it sound worse?

4·2 years ago60 million a year for access to the relatively public data… That seems pretty good to me tbh.
Also, there are mechanisms in place(assuming this is an American post). I know because I’m taking advantage of them.
I’m poor, at a respected university, and about graduate with a Bachelors. Might have spent 3k overall on school. Pell Grant was amazing.
Aint a perfect system, but still works a lot of the time

Guess I just hate how exaggerated things get online nowadays. So much more productive to have an honest conversation rather than say " I guess that means trans people can shit wherever they want to in public" imo

47·2 years agoIdk, Utah’s pretty decent. Its definitely modernizing sowly but still stumbles, like your example I didn’t know what you were talking about, so here’s the story for anyone else
Basically, people are supposed to use the “sex assigned at birth” in government/public school buildings.
Shits fucking dumb, but I bet nobody is checking ids at bathrooms and nobody has to shit on the streets. I hope they revert this dumb law but I think I think honesty about situations is important.

Because there was a black millionaire in the early 1900s, it was easier to be poor and black before/during the civil rights movement than it is in modern day?
I dont feel like we are having a coherent converation and these replies are purely reactive?
