Maybe they should look at the old ways of living a bit too instead of dreaming of Socialist utopias.

“A golden age of popular music lasted from the 1960s to the 1990s, academics claimed.”

Make that the 50’s to the 90’s.

How?

The Baby Boomers and "Greatest Generation" shipped all the blue collar manufacturing jobs overseas and then imported slave-wage foreigners to work the few that remained. They oversaw the cost of a college education reach six figures while mandating that every job that paid over $10 an hour require one.

Millennials did none of these things. They're just on the receiving end of the giant economic sh*t sandwich that their parents and grandparents gifted to them.

It's little wonder socialism sounds so appealing.

Boy, you’ve got that right! Socialism was raising it’s ugly little head in those days but not so many people took it seriously back then. I hope we’re able to stamp it back down into the dirt where it belongs!
