I'd like to see the specs on that median 1912 house versus those of 2022's median house.
This article is bullshit, in my opinion. A factory worker in 1890 may have lived in a bigger house, but it would have been with a much larger extended family. Farm families (a few of them) may have been better off, but most city dwellers were living in squalor in the days before refrigeration, electricity, automobiles, and paved roads.
Agree, my gut calls BOGUS on this article.
I don't even know what a 'gilded age peasant' is.
That's because you are a lifetime privileged aristocrat! And probably a racist one at that!
Lord yes, and don't any of you forget it. A buck-something an hour at the local Micky D's at night in the 70s when I wasn't in high school, now I'm THE KING OF THE WORLD. Remember that or I'll mandate more vaxxes.
