And during that documentary (which no one was able to replicate) he was essentially an alcoholic, which is the real reason his liver enzymes were elevated and is statistically a much greater contributor to poor health than McDonalds.

The answer to your query is Glory Holes. Tons of closeted gay repression in conservative parts of the world.

Technically, isn't reddit a pisshole?

There’s plenty of literature about the growth of the middle class in America and elsewhere and none of it talks about the United Fruit company.

Lol. You're conflating the MIC and multi-national corporate profits with the growth of the middle class domestically? You'll need some sauce for your crazy ass theory. Let me know how the United Fruit Company contributed to the growth of the middle class. Did the UFC share their profits with the middle class?

They were meddling for corporate profit. And if you think corporate profit helps the middle class then I’ve got a bag full of pigshit called “trickle down economics” to sell you.

Are you actually arguing a right wing talking point? Do you think the profits of a giant corporation help the middle class? That’s called trickle down economics and it’s total bullshit.

Please show us all where the profits of a giant corporation (United Fruit Company) from deposing President Arbenz in 1954 helped the middle class in America.

It only helped the profits of a giant corporation. Wait, are you using a right wing talking point that giant corporate profits help the middle class? That’s called trickle down economics and it’s been debunked for years.

Looks at instance…

Go fuck yourself hexbear Russian apologist. US fuckery internationally did nothing to build the middle class at home any more than Putin’s war crimes are helping the Russian economy.

Nuanced difference. My point was that the significant drop in poverty from 1950-1970 existed with the increase and proliferation of the middle class. Their post implies that 20 year period (1950-1970) had high poverty rate the whole time, which is absolutely false.
