Reagan fired the air controllers.
As busy as I was with my life, and as unaware as I was at time, I *knew* something had shifted for the worse.
that is when the "social contract" really got torn.
Post Reagan, it has been shredded.
You tell anyone under 40 now that people used to work for a lumber mill, or a business, or a
car plant, or Boeing ( my ex retired from there after 40 years.) and people worked until they retired,
went home to a house that had been paid off, got a pension....
no one will believe it now.
It took 28 years to kill most of the gains of the New Deal.
