And didn't he say unions loved him?

WOOHOOO!!! THAT WAS ILLEGAL!!! FUCK TRUMP!!!

CANCEL YOUR WAPO SUBSCRIPTIONS 🗞

Bezos needs to bury stuff like this!!! It makes Trump look bad!!!

American dictatorship

Isn't that the entire reason union-hating Jeff Bezos had his newspaper support the felon's candidacy at all costs?

🤬

Paging Sean O’Brien

Impeach this judge! Period. Not now, but when democracy returns to the USA...

Why?

How the hell can a union contract be invalidated like that? I guess no one will go to work then, no contract, no work.

WP, did Amazon approve this article. You guys need to be more careful.

Completely accurate for those of us who were there

It’s 💯that the decline of America started with Reagan and the oligarchs. The decline accelerated when they brought in the Christian fascists for votes.

Here's another that shows it's different than most of Europe (not a global phenomenon)

Thanks, conservatives, you're the smart people!

And the came Bastille Day for Marie

This makes me very sad. I protested in the early 70's and came of age in the late 70's. For a long time I've felt like I failed to keep the progress of the 50's and 60's alive. This data verifies that belief, and my disappointment in myself.

At least Marie Antoinette gave them cake.

Yep, I've been sayin that for years. Reagan was the beginning of the end of the middleclass.

Ronald Reagan was the recipient of the first version of what we now call Project 2025 from Heritage Foundation. Then simply called, Mandate for Leadership, it formed the basis of Reagan's social, domestic, foreign and economic policies.

🤮🤬🤮🤬

and the nw tax bill will make it even worse

#CapitalismKills

Same in the UK. Thatcher fixed it here too. Her and Reagan were best buddies.

Trump is the only President on record who failed to gain the approval of the majority of Americans for the first 125 days of his Presidency. Republican MAGAts are hysterical. They know Trump’s 46% approval (and 51% disapproval) signals they will lose the House in 2026–like the 33 seat loss in 2018.

Luckily I had poor parents

The second gilded age

The main earning years of Baby Boomers.

Obscene

Reagan was a mediocre actor, but a far better actor than a governor or president.

Don’t you just love the R’s who say, “I’m not a Trump Republican, I’m a Reagan Republican” as if they’re pointing to some kind of moral superiority.

It’s always Reagan. I will never forgive the U.S. for electing that prick.

Thanks for the chart! Very illustrative and really needs no comment. Your Marie Antoinette comment is appropriate and I fear upcoming generation's performance will be a repeat of the last 45 years.

GenX was the first generation to expect to not even do as well as our parents, and we knew that by 1990

I feel this deeply. I came of age then and have lived it

How many people or households are in the top 0.01%? How many in the top 1%? Where am I in this mess?

Heads up, people!

Let them eat crypto.

Republicans liken Reagan to a saint. He initialized the doomsday path we’re heading down.

Yes, billionaires cashing in on the backs of low-middle class. Will they give back? Hell no! tinyhandproductions.etsy.com

Interesting. I graduated from college in 1983. I did better than my parents, because I owned a home for about 40 years & counting. But Mom, lived until 93, with a great pension & good rent control housing. My Dad, died at 47, homeless & a vet with mental health issues. Who was better off?

I belong to the first generation to benefit from FDR's "new deal." I was born in the middle of the great depression in a 3 room falling down shack, 712 sq ft - no closets, no running water, no electricity and with 5 older brothers. 4 bro served in WWII. 2 graduated college on the GI Bill, 1 MD...

Reagan was the vehicle. Milton Friedman was the driver.

And he’s a freakin hero to the RW poor. Go figure.

Every American generation made more than their parents until 1980. Reagan fixed that - and it has not returned. The rich are doing better than before the great depression. Marie Antoinette would blush.
