Did the "American dream" change over time, or was it just my interpretation of it?
So growing up, I had this idea that the American dream was about that if you put in an honest amount of work, you would be rewarded with a good life. This would mean you would be able to take care of yourself and your family, afford a car and a house. In my view, working one job would probably be enough.
Nowadays, I get the idea that the American dream has become about working your ass off in order to have a chance to become a millionaire. Somehow glorifying “the grind” appears to be a part of it too now.
The Biden administration and himself keep telling us how great things are, wages up, unemployment down, the world is on fire but you are doing great. I, and most other people don't believe it
