    Ah yes, measuring against standards from 200 years ago. Classic way to do things. Literally.

      I suppose one could also measure against current standards in France, Spain, Albania and Serbia.

      It doesn’t make any sense to say that people should first have to be comfortable and secure before they can protest. If Americans had the standard of living of a prosperous country, they wouldn’t need to protest.
