Roman Helmet Guy: living standards in America should have risen 10 times over since 1950 — look at the technology then vs. now. Instead the elite made every American worker compete with the whole world: manufacturing offshored to China, IT outsourced to India, and mass immigration from South and Central America. Result: everyone else’s living standards soared while yours fell — so the richest 1% from the richest generation could die a little richer. Family Brief exists for the other side of that ledger: kids protected, wages that can support a family, homes families can actually buy. Watch.
