It already is - regardless of Grace telling me because we have wegmans - EVERYONE is rich. Don't misrepresent what I wrote. I would never say everyone was rich, I said we have a rising standard of living. A rising standard of living is never equally delivered to all people at all times. But one sure sign that a rising standard of living is occurring across populations, in all segments of income and wealth, is that even the poorest people can afford what were considered luxuries 10 to 15 years earlier. The machine made shirt made the British rich, but mostly what it did was allow even the poorest people to be able to afford well made shirts of fine cloth instead of the scratchy homespun shirts they had been stuck wearing before the advent of modern textile machinery.
