Because there was a black millionaire in the early 1900s, it was easier to be poor and black before/during the civil rights movement than it is in modern day?

I dont feel like we are having a coherent converation and these replies are purely reactive?

So, we have been progessing over time, until recently, correct?

Now lets bring being poor as a different demographic than white male in history as well.

But would you consider that poor then? Maybe money was easier to obtain, but starvation/malnutrition rates have constantly been on a steady decline until the last few years. Not often you see people using a burlap sack to cloth their families, child labor, things like that. And we do have a lot of social programs like SNAP that didnt exist pre-1970s.1980s had the Homeless act. The world has changed drastically in the last 50-100 years.

But I guess you could make solid arguments that the economy is generally harder now, so its worse for the majority, incuding the poor.

Fuck billionaires and all, but I think two things are wrong with this.

First, comparing hollywood to real life. They were making super yachts in the 1800s. El Mahrousa was built in 1865 and still in the top 10 in size.

But those megayachts sre super unnecessary and terrible for enviroment.

Secondly, times just generally changed. Poor people shifted a lot too. 1970s poor was a lot more poor than modern poor generally.

But we should still fix the system that fucks over thr majority.

Wait, so you are saying you have either lived continuously on a 29ft boat for 5 years, or only have visited land by dinghy or something while its anchored?

Wild. That’s got to be a nasty looking hull though.

If you consider that healthcare for everyone, then America as a whole bears and shares the cost of healthcare for everyone because of Obamacare?

Dumbass bills are introduced all the time. The news likes to bring them up but never talks about most of them being shot down though.
