What if I told you that a single income once provided a home, a car, and a comfortable life for an entire family?
One shift in the economy made sure that would never happen again.
Here's how they used feminism to double the workforce, slash wages, and turn two incomes into a necessity.
In the 1960s, a factory worker, teacher, or small business owner could afford a house, raise a family, and retire comfortably—all on one income.
Today, two full-time salaries barely cover rent.
What changed?
Feminism was pushed as a movement of "empowerment," but who really benefited when women flooded the workforce?
* Corporations gained double the labor supply.
* Wages stagnated, as the market became saturated with workers.
* Taxes doubled because the government now had two incomes to tax instead of one.
Before the 1970s, businesses had to pay men enough to support a family.
But once women entered the workforce, the market became flooded with workers, and wages stagnated.
* Instead of one paycheck being enough, families now needed two just to keep up with rising costs.
* What was sold as "choice" was really a necessity, as the middle class became financially dependent on dual incomes.
*The result?* A shift from financial independence to a system where families were stuck in the grind to survive, rather than thrive.
In the 1970s, a home cost 2-3 times the average yearly income.
By the 2000s, that price had skyrocketed to 7-10 times the average income.
* Banks, investors, and landlords adjusted prices to accommodate the rise of dual-income households.
* What was once a middle-class goal—homeownership—became an unattainable dream for many.
Instead of seeing a rise in wealth, families were locked into an endless cycle of debt, with owning a home no longer a symbol of success, but a financial burden.
With both parents working, someone had to raise the children.
Enter daycare, public schools, and media indoctrination.
* Children were no longer raised by their families, but by institutions and strangers.
* The system shaped young minds, grooming them to accept the new reality and lose connection with family values.
*The result?* A generation of kids raised by the state, with family stability eroded, and parental influence fading.
_*To keep people distracted, they were sold an illusion of happiness through consumerism.*_
* Credit cards, loans, and vacations were marketed as the key to fulfillment.
* Instead of families building generational wealth, they were pushed into debt, working harder than ever to sustain an image of success.
While banks and corporations profited, families found themselves trapped in the perpetual rat race, endlessly chasing a dream they could never fully reach.
*So, who really won?*
* *Corporations* gained double the workforce without raising wages
* *Banks* created a nation of lifelong debt slaves
* *Government* doubled its tax revenue overnight
* *Investors* and *landlords* made homeownership out of reach for most
*But, the average person?* _*OVERWORKED, UNDERPAID, and ROBBED of the comfortable life their grandparents had.*_
*UNDERSTAND THE MATRIX*
