Either you're young to remember or getting on and having some memory issues.
It was bad - it was really bad for years ... weekdays, weekends, holidays, etc.
And with tens and tens of thousands protesting, not a couple of hundred.
The Me Me Me, Free Stuff, selfie generation appears to be a little upset. I’ve never seen this much hatred out of the “young”. It wasn’t this bad in the 60s. Lots and lots of hate out there. Probably from all of those participation trophies and “good jobs” they received when they were really little.

I have posted this reality before. One of our younger relatives had the good fortune in little league to play for good managers and be with motivated players. They won the top award 3 years in a row, in a city with a lot of players and teams.
The league broke up the team and didn’t re hire the managers. Our young relative ended on a losing team that didn’t win a single game in 20+ games. He went from batting 400 to about 100.
However, the city’s liberals gave losers like him a participation trophy.
When he got home, his older sister with trophies in sports and academics for winning told him, “Really are you going to put your “I’m a loser trophy on the shelf with your winning trophies!”
In tears, he ask my wife what was wrong with the trophy. She said it was for losers, and he should give it away.
He took his name of the participation trophy and told his mother to sell it. She did, and donated the money to his favorite charity, the Salvation Army.
A few years later, he is finally realizing what his sister told him, participation trophies are for losers. He is devoting his energy and skill to be competitive in high school sports.
