When was the last good year for poor people? Anyone? Bueller?
July 14th, 1789
The last time was probably the Neolithic Revolution
Before it.
Agriculture actually made people’s lives much worse in many regards. Worse diet, women turned into commodities, shorter life spans due to increased infectious diseases, much less free time due to having to put more effort into getting food (somewhat surprisingly hunter-gatherers have way more free time) etc. It’s been great for rulers and population growth though. If anything, poor people were invented in the Neolithic Revolution

post-depression new deal stuff was pretty good? right? the wealth made more sense from there until it was gutted in the 80s
Probably 2020 and 2021 when we were excused from paying rent for awhile, and $1,000 magically appeared in our bank accounts a few times.
2020 was the best year of my life.
A lot of the world was jobless, rent became debt and lost a lot of family members. For me all of those along with getting depressed and still unable to recover to my normal appetite.
Isn’t it the “poor” people paying to see/hear TS?
What do you mean? 141 fewer poors? Sounds like a great year for us.
Damn. You got me there. Guess I shouldn’t complain.
