americas golden age was the 50's, right after ww2 when we made things and sold em to other countries. but then we stopped doing that and started to outsource everything because it was cheaper for companies to do that so all american workers got fired in favor for third world country workers who worked for pennies instead.
its fugging sad dude.
other than that the greeks and romans had SO MANY golden ages. for art, science and literature. it was insane how much they found and invented. it was like this burst in time and after that everything got invented or found out and so now we're stagnate AF. i dont think ANYONE is in a golden age right now in the world and idk if we'll ever see one again honestly.
maybe im just too smoothed brained but i can't think of anything new we could find or invent right now that could bring a golden age. i mean maybe if we could invent replicators like in star trek but we def dont have that know how yet. its the same with art and literature. theres nothing new, no new tv shows or movies or ideas at all. theres nothing new, its all recycled.
edit: i do hate that in most golden ages it was always the rich and powerful who benefitted from it and no one else. thats beyond fugged up. golden ages should benefit EVERYONE from EVERY CLASS.

Eating ANOTHER Weird History food!
Eating a tomato. while watching this Weird History video!
Tomatoes are from the Weird History video How Campbell's Soup Has Stood The Test of Time
Hopefully Cinda Canning (played by Tina Fey) from Only Murders In The Building will come to LOVE tomatoes!

This video really didnt touch on the subject of the poor throughout history, rather focused more on the rich and what they were doing. I was expecting to hear more about the accounts of those who were actually poor

Every era is a golden era if you’re wealthy. The bottom line of poverty will almost never change, but the average’ poor person seems to be doing better today than almost any other time in history

The wealthy today are trying to corner the housing market. which is going to blow up in their face soon.
It is only a matter of time before that market collapses and their throne will become a prison.

poor is a human invention, no animal in nature is poor because they dont attach their life and self worth on stuff they own, poor can only exist in capitalism

This is the only time period since the dawn of man where people living in poverty are generally fatter than those of higher socioeconomic standing

I’m disappointed! Seems like you bypassed the point. This shouldn’t have been about rich people nor art. You could have done better. Thanks

The system keeps the poor. Poor. Even the middle class are considered Peasants or Vermin and history keeps repeating itself.

Sorry to be pedantic but Britian was actually involved in two wars during the Victorian period. The Crimean war and the Boer Wars

there will always be poor because, without them, how do the well off know how well off they are
equality is a joke.
