⚡️💬 Not too long ago, a single salary was enough to provide a house, a car, and a comfortable life for an entire family. But an economic upheaval swept away this reality, relegating it to a distant memory.
Feminism has been promoted as a movement for "women's empowerment." Yet, upon closer inspection, who truly benefited when women joined the workforce en masse?
➡️ Governments doubled their tax revenues, now taxing two incomes per household instead of one.
➡️ Families were forced to adapt their lifestyles: a single paycheck was no longer sufficient, and two became necessary to keep up with soaring costs.
The result? What was presented as a "choice" turned into a necessity.
The once-prosperous middle class found itself chained to financial dependence on two incomes.
➡️ In the 1970s, a house cost two to three times the average annual salary. Since the 2000s, this ratio has exploded, reaching seven to ten times income.
➡️ Homeownership, once a pillar of the middle class, has become a mirage for many.
➡️ Far from becoming wealthier, families have become trapped in an endless cycle of debt.
And what about the children?
With both parents working, their education has been delegated:
➡️ Public schools and screens have taken over, replacing family influence with that of institutions and media.
➡️ Young minds have been shaped by a system that prepared them to accept this new normal, often at the expense of the values taught by their parents.
The verdict is clear: a doubling of tax revenues for the state, a generation of children raised by the state, weakened family stability, and plummeting parental authority.
To mask this reality, families have been sold an illusion of happiness through rampant consumerism.
➡️ Credit cards, bank loans, and overpriced vacations have been elevated to symbols of fulfillment.
➡️ Rather than building lasting wealth, households have sunk deeper into debt, working ever harder to project an appearance of success.
Meanwhile, the real winners have been rubbing their hands together:
➡️ Banks have turned generations into lifelong debt slaves.
➡️ Governments have seen their coffers fill up thanks to doubled taxation.
➡️ Real estate investors, primarily from the boomer generation, have driven up property prices, making homeownership unattainable for most new generations.
Thus, while families exhaust themselves in a never-ending race for a dream always out of reach, the elites thrive.
Who really won? The answer is obvious. #Asknostr
