I'm curious, how is needing two incomes to raise a family a byproduct of women working in the first place, as opposed to inflation or some jobs simply not paying enough?
Caster, good point.
But, I think it worked like the frog in slowly boiling water.
Inflation, low pay, high prices.
They rose but folks did not notice.
BECAUSE they now had 2 incomes.
What people used to do by choice.
( 2 income )
They now do, out of necessity.
Because now, 1 income isn't enough.
It's an unintended consequence.
Craster.
I think you just like to argue.
I made several points that contribute to the end result.
You fixate on one and try to nit pick.
It's my opinion bases on fact.
You are free to see things as you prefer.
Lol, while it's true that I enjoy debate, I'm not actually arguing this time. That's simply the point that interested me, as this may be the first time I've heard something like that.
I don't know much about the economy, and I'm curious about different opinions on it. I think you have mostly valid points, though I'm not sure whether to believe you on everything.
who are responsible for lower wages and a shrinking middle class

In that case, do you think companies took the liberty of increasing prices as a way to cash in on the extra money that families had?
