AS for factory workers making a few dollars a WEEK currently .. bullshirt. That is unsupportable by even the new math. The average US wage in 1913 was $0.24 and hour, that's AVERAGE. Minimum wage today adjusted for inflation would be $0.29 an hour in 1913. Today's minimum wage is 20% higher than the AVERAGE wage of 1913.

And @Zilla is correct, instead of dollars look at what is being purchased today. A friend of mine is an immigrant, that means he is here LEGALLY. I asked him once why he wanted to come to America, he replied, "I wanted to live where even the poor people were fat." My dad was a brick layer who raised four kids to adulthood, living the "American Dream"; our house was 1070 sq.ft., two bedroom one bath, no garage, no A/C (in Southeast Texas), we had ONE phone on a party-line, and free TV was two channels unless the cloud cover was just right. We had ONE car. His wage would be about $19/hour now. He saved enough money to send four kids to college from 1962 to 1970.

America, where even the poor can eat like a king

lol... yes and unfortunately the land of couch potatoes too....🥔

and that is the real issue ....

Work ethic is not something that is encouraged into most kids. It is something taught and instilled into someone.

So you get generations of kids where most don't have work drive at all other than money. Which has its pros and cons.

And some who have no work drive at all because they were never taught to work.

They are instead taught that everyone gets a trophy. Then are stunned when they enter the real world and it isn't so.

So I just saw this article from Vanity Fair about the last episode of The Mandalorian... Apparently people got really butthurt over Baby Yoda eating the Frog-lady's eggs.

Wow XD I find that hilarious

It's sad really.

Who watches a sci-fi show and automatically thinks "that cute kid just committed genocide, let's flame the show online"?

They're literally looking for anything to pin against Jon Favreau after the whole garbage "it took exactly 12 minutes before they showed the first female" fiasco when it started.

I forgot about that. They are the reason new movies (mostly) suck.

Are these the same people who complain that more main characters in children's books are animals than POC's?

Probably.

> I forgot about that. They are the reason new movies (mostly) suck.
@Alpha-57 I've learned to not expect too much from certain directors and studios. It's sad we even have to talk about this.

The problem is though, is that they think they're actually making a difference in people's lives when they add a black gay background character or something

worse when its a super wooden or badly acted main character *coughs* Ms. Marvel *coughs*

Agreed. But what irks me the most is when they do that by changing an already established character or timeline to do so.
