re: #1 Kragar

For our life time, America’s best days are behind us.

That’s been true for decades. We’ve all experienced the decline that sent rural people off the deep end and got Trump elected. Cars, houses, and education were both much more attainable when my parents were young than they are now, and with just a high school education.

We’ve made social gains recently that may be lost, but we’ve been suffering economically for a long time.
