I was laid off from my first real job by Reagan but all I did was get another job.
My former electrician buddy was an Air Traffic Controller.
He got fired by Reagan. Went back to school and became an electrician.
Must be ATC?? I worked with a gal whose husband was laid off in Lancaster, CA...Oh! how they hated RR. We went out to dinner one night and back to our place for coffee and the husband was sitting at our kitchen table with direct eye contact with a Reagan Ranch calendar on the wall. I told him I could move it if it made him uncomfortable but he said “No.” He got a job with Hughes Aircraft (I think) and later with Raytheon in LA - (not Los Angeles)...
