Globalization obviously hit America hardest after 1999 when total hours worked by all workers as a percentage of civilian population plunged as manufacturing jobs leaving the country became a flood, but people pretend not to see

1970-1985 sucked pretty bad though, long before the current suckiness which tastes like nothing so much as that era.

A country that doesn't work is a poor country.

But of course globalization after 1984 meant the good paying manufacturing jobs started to dry up because patriotic American businessmen relocated them to cheaper labor countries in East Asia.
