    …are you talking to me? Where am I fantasizing this “as some mythical ‘lost economic golden age?’” I’m here pointing out that the 50s actually sucked really hard for a lot of Americans who were not middle or upper class white people

    I’ll add though that America’s “pie” is much, much larger today than it was in the 50s, so saying it was easy to have more of the pie back then because it was bigger is false
