The 1950’s weren’t so bad, my friend.

Having been born in 1960, I will have to take your word for it (missed them by 35 days!) However, it’s not the 1950’s anymore.

Depends on what color your skin was.

“The 1950’s weren’t so bad, my friend.”

You bet. I’m sure glad to have lived then. What fun and personal growth.

Read the thread, don’t waste my time...

Social issues aside, Pat is stuck in the 1950's, economically. The economic conditions that existed post WWII that allowed someone with a high school education to get a job at an auto plant that would support their family and take them to retirement are gone. The world changed and we can't undo the changes by passing a few laws.

1950’s were not great. Alot of child abuse (hidden) wife beating (hidden) and a lot of other unspeakable stuff.

The GM of the 50's is not the GM of today. If the UAW were in the railroad industry, we'd be looking a bailing out steam engine production.
