so home ec, shop classes, secretarial classes and the rest got tossed in favor of high school sports.

then the burden of student loans kicked in along with renting every gaud darn thing instead of ownership.

Now the brick and mortar stores are leaving, the family farms are becoming industrialized, the menial labor jobs have become

supplemental income for seniors instead of OTJ learning,

and the wealthy keep raking it in and taking more while pitting the lower working classes against each other.

At 70 y/o I don't picture anything changing.no matter the country.
