I think the issue is you used to not have to compete with China on wages, and there was less regulation so things were cheaper. So you’d start of making low wages (like $10 an hour) and by the time you had a family you’d be making 40k+ a year, and you could lead a pretty nice life like that (and you still can in some states)
