I get the impression most people don't like the idea of America taking the world's resources, but I'm afraid that's how the past 2 generations enjoyed the low cost of living.
I don't think anyone can be trusted with the job of redistributing the wealth we have now either.
So I think we'll need to learn to be happy with less, but I see the youngest generation seems to be as materialistic as anyone, in the US and everywhere else.
I'm an older millennial, and I hope my generation makes better decisions/ policies when they get in power than the boomers. The boomers were hippies who all turned to the biggest imperialist consumers in history.[always think of that line 'saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac ']
Just a thought as I see people complain about the increasing difficulty maintaining the 'American Dream' even though the assumption of what we think is baseline is waaay higher than even 50 years ago. And how that relates to what people think an unskilled job SHOULD be able to afford.
