How did America make so many classic planes during WWII and the 1950’s but can’t seem to make a good plane now?

Roman Aqueducts,
Brooklyn Bridge. for an example.

Any bridge built after 1960(??) with all the modern technology, regulations etc etc.

Are all the NEW methods just another way for people to line their pockets?

Look at all the ‘old houses’ from the 17 and 1800s, still standing - yes updates and improving amenities but the basic structure and frame still ‘good’.

Remember, it used to be called “Old World Craftsmanship” when people were actually PROUD of a job accomplished, of course people were ‘reconditioned’ that rather than have someone learn a trade and follow in ones elders footsteps, we need to put everyone behind a desk.

Now ‘they’ have figured out that the desk can be located in Bumf... Whereever.

People would seemingly accept being unemployed or class themselves unemployable than learn a trade that will benefit them forever...plumber, brick/concrete mason, etc etc etc.

How come people who deem themselves too good to drive a delivery truck, cab, work in construction, pick up $hiite with the chickens etc are NOT so good as to let the Govt ‘pay’ them out of the wages of those that will do the aforementioned ‘menial labor’ jobs?

Like a ‘great man’ once opined - “Maybe we should have picked our own GD cotton” he was probably on the right path.

How many days/years/centuries/milleniums has it been since a wag figured out that a ‘Democracy - as such’ can only last a couple of hundred years as it usually takes about that long for the havenots to figure they actually vastly outnumber the haves and if they band together, EVERYONE can go ‘down in flames’ together.

Hope someone got the name etc of those Germans ‘cheering’ the arrival of the latest batch of ‘refugees’ so we can ask them at a later date how ‘they’ enjoy supporting about 90 percent (I am being nice here) of them AFTER the lower rung of Germans citizens have been ‘knocked out of jobs, wages etc etc’ and the citizenry has to absorb BOTH groups.

Reminds me of the Jimmy Carter Habitat for Humanity. As much as him being a bummer of a President and drifting into barking moonbatism from time to time in his later years, his volunteers for Habitat built a lot of good, strong homes. Some say as amateur and a volunteers, they might have used an extra nail or three to join wood together and this made tehe frames stronger.

Sad to say, he was/is right.

We have the same problem with the Mexicans and others like the H1-B's we let in. Even though the latter still takes jobs away, the H1-B's are not always cheap. I temped at a company that brought them here in 1996 and I worked in accounting. I saw how much the H1-B's made, anywhere from $45K to $115K and this was 1996!
