"some groups were deliberately and systematically funneled into poverty at higher rates".

My argument is always that WOMEN were and are one of these groups. We still make, on average, what is it now? $.81 for every dollar and it's less for non-white females. Then, as we AGE, OMG the wage gap increases for women. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/03/01/the-enduring-grip-of-the-gender-pay-gap/

I chose the Pew Research Center because, P-U, how this wage gap stinks to high heaven even worse now than in the 20th century. Pew is right. This stinketh.

And what is the Conservative push-back against equal wages today? #traditionalwife and controlling our wombs.
