Most of their jobs were sent over seas and most of their money went to supporting the unemployed. There wasn't enough money for them to have kids so they started to disappear. Watch an old movie and look at the surnames, many of them no longer exist. Random and unfortunate or something else.

The shift from small towns and cities to suburban living was built on credit and fundamentally unsustainable from an economic perspective. Putting money and energy towards infrastructure-related expenses and debt robbed communities of the ability to fight anti-worker and anti-consumer moves in industry and policy, creating a feedback loop of impverishment. As always, immigration and replacement hysteria were used to mask this, but with access to the internet, people are at least knowledgeable enough to be aware that the root cause of this economic issue is economic, not social (apart from the death of noblesse oblige).

whites are slaves and exist to serve the aristocrat class, the peasants that existed in europe were given a reprieve during the age of exploration because their wranglers sights became focused on the free world. Now that the free world is no longer free, the domestic side things have returned to the mean, seemingly unaware that their house nigger status was only temporary and their uppity disposition is an inside joke.

The feudal peasants disproportionally died during the Black Death while the upper classes moved away from city centers and were less infected. The average British person alive is a descendant of the upper class. For a long time the upper class had much higher birth rates than the lower classes too. The cream of the crop of Brits in terms of bravery, wealth, intelligence, and nobility moved to the US. American whites with British ancestry are the genetic elites of the world. They were in the position the Jews are in today until they got complacent and the Jews came in. who knows what the future holds now that they’re supplanted and in comtempt.

Thomas Jefferson is one of the most intelligent men in world history. The early Americans were brave enough to move to a hostile unknown land worlds away inhabited by savages for the sake of making it. They defeated the British army, the most powerful in the world, and declared their independence. These men were the pinnacle. The nobility gained status in ancient times by being exceptionally brave and winning their way to the top with courage and skill. The Americans had these traits.

The goal posts of the median continue to move up, which is fine, that makes sense given the macro conditions, the issue is there's too much red tape and lazy/unwilling politicians to maintain the back half of the middle. So the back half is falling into the poverty side. The disparity is going to be you either make $50k or $165k
Now those $50k jobs, sure, many of them are not glamorous, but some of them should be more in the range of probably $75k-$95k, especially in management. But increasingly they separate employees and superior by barely $10k
Also hurts incentives and motivation, why move up to new positions in a company if the raise feels insignificant compared to how much your workload will increase.

Deficit spending is an expansion of the money supply (simple dilution), it robs ALL income earners and gives to asset holders (as an increase in money supply will naturally inflate assets), a HUGE and on-going parasitic transfer of resources from income earners to oligarchs, THIS is the driving force of the wage/productivity divergence seen since the 60s.

Everyone on this site constantly talks about the Great Reset, how everyone is getting impoverished, middle class disappearing, you will live in the pod, yet when I go outside they are putting up shopping plazas faster than I can keep track, everyone is driving a 2023 F150, and everyone has a 3 bedroom house that is $300k minimum with a 72 inch flat screen in every room. It seems as though money actually is out there, it's just that the userbase of this site doesn't have it.

The shift to suburban living was primarily done by a white population desperately trying to escape declining living and educational standards caused by rampant black criminality.
You are correct in that it is expensive and energy intensive, especially when the feds follow them to the suburbs and forcibly tyrannize them with "racial integration attempt #325", leading to the cycle being repeated again.
Over time, the cost of suburbanizing becomes greater and greater, and a percentage of whites get left behind each time. Soon the only segregated communities will be for the wealthy while 95% of the population live in hellscapes where the norms are entirely dictated by and for the lowest common denominator (niggers)

You're so close, but sadly suffering from that racism brainrot what is at the root of every catastrophic American policy decision. The roads and the highways that were built to ferry hysterical white flighters in and out of cities used the land previously occupied by economically stable and sustainable black (and Jewish and immigrant and-) businesses and neighborhoods. These were middle class black business owners and workers who were displaced because they represented competition, not a nuisance. You've drunk the "urban decay" Kool-Aid because the alternative of reconciling with the fact that your parents and grandparents utterly threw you under the bus in an airborne-lead-addled haze would be enough to bring you to eating a Glock hotdog (please actually do that tbqhfam).
