We had all those things! The unemployment during COVID was disgusting in that people refused to work because the unemployment paid MORE than the jobs. They received an extra $600 week.
And so, I like the WPA. We need it back.
Medals for last place? WTF!
I know, right????
We used to have military service that wasn't compulsory, but, everyone joined. It was the one thing that men had in common. They could sit at a diner and they would say, what branch? - and take off from there. They were trained and ready for life.
Now?
Le sigh.
Now?
Yeah...Not much good to say I'm afraid. It's all messed up.
