And the thing that's so crazy is that "post-war period" describes a time when the country had just spent 6 years getting the shit bombed out of it and expending all its resources into sending troops abroad. If people can rebuild a country and still be able to support a whole family on a single salary, why can't we do the same in a country that's already had that work put in?

(that's a rhetorical question, we all know why)
