So growing up, I had this idea that the American dream was about that if you put in an honest amount of work, you would be rewarded with a good life. This would mean you would be able to take care of yourself and your family, afford a car and a house. In my view, working one job would probably be enough.

Nowadays, I get the idea that the American dream has become about working your ass off in order to have a chance to become a millionaire. Somehow glorifying “the grind” appears to be a part of it too now.

          Biden is Reagan’s 11th term. But go on believing the gaslighting that the economy is doing well.

            Who said anything about the economy doing well? You do know you don’t have to show everyone how stupid you are

              The Biden administration and himself keep telling us how great things are, wages up, unemployment down, the world is on fire but you are doing great. I, and most other people don’t believe it

          If you didn’t know he’s been gone 3 years, Trump was Reagan’s 10th term and Biden is his 11th
