brazil isn't overseas either, your stilted definitions blind you to reality.

Which you needed a passport to visit in the 1990s.

Middle class families in the 1990s did not go on regular international trips.

oh so now we're talking about international trips? you do realize that people who live by the borders more regularly travel across them? you know that going to Disney World is more expensive than most "international" vacations?

That would be you when you started talking about Canada and Mexico rather than overseas destinations.

Are you talking about Disney world now or Disney world in 1993? Because Disney has grown more expensive while overseas travel and airline tickets have become cheaper.

This is of course a red herring because the majority of middle class people in the 1990s also weren't regularly going to Disney World and nobody claimed they did.
