⚡️💬 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
