This is in keeping with a long term trend in which the standard of living for the median American has been allowed to stagnate for a long time. The male median wage has been stagnant or declining since 1973.

Also, consider that, when it comes to death-by-childbirth, the USA is among the very worst developed countries: https://maternityneighborhood.com/the-case-for-care-model-innovation-in-maternity-care/ https://maternityneighborhood.com/the-case-for-care-model-in...

The fact of the matter that we can't even discuss, let alone even mention the realities of these matters on account of the PC authoritarian goons going after you and silencing you and banning your accounts, is quite telling. It's quite unfortunate that regardless of when, all of this current liberal, PC, postmodern insanity will result in horrific results, because nothing can deviate so much without causing repercussions, regardless of what they may be. Just take your last point; we simply can't even discuss, let alone bring up the fact that the "death-by-childbirth" rates that you lament as being so high, are localize to specific ethnic and racial groups; but because the PC nazis will go after you if you if you don't, we are forced to imagine and repeat that the USA suffers from these third world problems not because there are exponentially more third world people in the USA than in ANY developed country.... while we are compelled to chant "diversity is our strength" at the end of the barrel of a gun. There is actually a huge degree of likelihood that you would not have seen this comment at all any more than you see any of the other comments and users that are digitally silenced and executed and whisked away to digital mass graves on sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. So maybe this comment is just for some future researcher or digital archeologist that is able to reconstruct this message from digital pieces in their effort to understand how the current form of authoritarians were able to hoodwink and bamboozle the feeble minded fools into self-destruction and self-harm and pushed humanity to the brink.

Median wage is a bad metric in a world where health insurance costs (and thus non-wage benefits) are rapidly rising. Median household wage is doubly bad in a world of changing household composition. https://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications/the-region/where-has-all-the-income-gone https://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications/the-region/where...
