    Only because of the world wars normalizing full employment. Before then only the most poverty level households required two incomes and even then it wasn’t universal

    The propaganda is what has normalized it in your mind. The last 3 generations proves what happens when you let kids raise themselves

      No, it’s because late stage capitalism requires prices to go up all the time, while salaries stagnate. People are spending way more of their income on housing these days, and even with two incomes they’re living paycheck to paycheck. Why would anyone need to be propagandized? It’s literally dual income or bust.

        Thank you for repeatedly proving how effective propaganda is by repeating the normalization phrases over and over again, while also denying that it exists

        You are the perfect patsy and I’m sure you are supremely convinced this is all of your own intention.
