    1980s were very different, and since then companies started (and never did stop) to behave like assholes towards employees, environment and regulation.

        That a…hole really marked a turning point, and Thatcher and Kohl transferred the evil to Europe.

        We could have had a kind and healthy world and got a hellscape of hatred and greed instead.

          Most figures such as Ayn Rand and Reagan were nothing but repackaged versions of Friedrich Hayek.

          Welllll…capitalism was always on a less than virtuous path. The robber barons, the long history of violent attacks on strikers…capitalism was never going to let us be happy. We pie had to fight for everything we’ve won.

          We got very close to having a very different future, then Bush stole the presidency from Gore.

            If they failed to steal that one, they were going to steal the next one. 2000 wasn’t some kind of fluke. It was an organized, targeted effort to change tje political landscape, and it had been in progrwss for many years at that point. They weren’t going to stop if they fell a little short.

    I did an internship at a crime lab for college. College over, I eventually applied to that very lab. I probably didn’t interview well (too much detail in my explanation for the layman juror), and I didn’t get the job. I asked where I could improve and was told the aforementioned along with the fact that other people who were interviewing had masters or were already certified forensic scientists. I had a bachelor’s. It was an entry job that I could’ve done in my sleep.

    My personal experience in the 1970s: “I’d give you the job if you were a man but you’re not, so…” Apparently I would just get pregnant and leave.

    1970s: … this man has a pulse! … we’ll start him in the warehouse … wait a minute, he’s white! … put him in management!
