You are correct it is not 1960 anymore and that, economically, is the problem. I am all for going back economically to a time when we manufactured our own goods, where people bought our goods and Made in the USA meant quality. Will we ever go back, sadly no. Which is my point about AI, which only existed in science fiction in 1960.

It is not the 1960s so lets stop pretending we need a minimum wage and that Unions are looking out for the working man. Lets stop pretending RATS are not socialists and looking to the freaks in Hollywood and in the music industry for guidance on how to behave. There was a time around the 50’s and 60’s when we told them how to behave. Was it Shangri-La, no. But real men were expected to work. People knew the difference between a man and women. Women could chose to work or not instead of being forced to work in order to afford a house. White Privilege meant a 40-50 for work week and the occasional Friday night fish fry. Two weeks off per year with seven holiday days off. Later my dad actually got 7 sick days per year, but you really had to be sick. White privilege meant you worked the other 48 weeks to pay bills and feed your family. You raised your kids not the schools. Daycare was not nearly as common. You went to Temple on Friday or Church on Sunday, most kids had to go to some sort of Temple or Church School once a week. I was just a kid but I do not recall any hatred for gays, blacks or hispanics. They were kind of an anomaly in my town. But the ones we did know were just another kid in our group. Were there bad people, absolutely, there always will be. But my entire, totally white Christian school sat in the school cafeteria and watch the MLK funeral. I did not really know who he was and did not understand why even some of the white male teachers were crying. There were no Jim Crow laws where I lived. There was racism, there always will be. The sixties were a great time to be young. Will kids today say that about the 2020’s?
