Was younger than you born in the50 s but remember a lot of that. Your Harley Richard might be worth a lot more today. A lot of those cars then would be too. You gotta think what minimum wage was then too. Like I said before when they discovered the baby boomers were generating more money they got it in their heads increasing the population was good for government and banks. Generally after a population decrease be war fammon or illness there is a population increase provided theres a economy and some places like africa don’t even think about that. I wonder what economics that is under? So increasing the population is all they seem to know to generate money even like now at this point it affects the quality of life and seems to be moving backwards from the nuclear family of mom, dad, kids to the once extended family where grandma lived upstairs or aunts and uncles around. Now it’s the kids who can’t leave and affecting the parents savings in one way or another.
I remember as a teen I got a job at a catholic as there was a lot of religious based things around be Catholic, Prodastant, Jewish. Catholic was a walkable then miles away I worked nights on weekends and then had energy to go out with friends during the day. We got paid like 1:50 hour untrained right off the street before I went to school for it and learned to give meds, procedures while the Nuns slept there at night. I didn’t think anything of it as they worked long days and admited their dedication . But we had over a hundred patients many who were total care and we had to get at least 50 of them up for church and only two of us to do it plus rounds of those incontinent which there were a few as well as catheters all before day shift came on. Sometimes if they were short of staff they’d ask me to stay to help feed them. Until a grandmother came in telling them she was gonna get them for child labor abuse aanyways. That was embarrassing. I assured her I didn’t have to stay if I didn’t want. I found getting others in it not all up ti to that kind of work and one her parents keeping her money didn’t do much for her motivation even if it was only about 10 a day for all that work.She’d be on the phone too much with boyfriend and got me in trouble when I went to get her with her not knowing the nuns were listening and there they were. I wasn’t a snitch and as long as it wasn’t a habit. I could save too as was in a traveling mode them. Where ever the surf or new lands led me sort of days. I remember the BOYZ ” everywhere” fought a lot and couldnt wait to get away from that waisted energy despite their working or military with that being more focused on books and learning that wasn’t limited to a box.. School.
We girls learned to make foods from scratch and learned European dishes passed down. My Hungarian relatives taught me to sew and embroider flower patterns as well as crochet and we could make our own cloths, holiday decorations, table cloths and blankets, shawls whatever, and every girl had to know how to make certain breads and Hungarian dishes. I wish I could of spent more time with them. Wasn’t the totality of what I was but traditions passed down and all were proud of their heritage but all were assimilated and Americans be Irish German English Hungarian French Scottish ..We came from a stock that wasn’t afraid to work or even fight for what we had if we had to but in the beginning wanted to be left alone from the never ending troubles of Europe and elsewhere. Now peoole dependent on store bought everything. They look at making your own anything less it’s a tech thing as a peasant or something but dependent on those who can to buy from..Id hate to see them lost in those countries from the current insanity going on with the so called refugees because it’s still there.. So far.
And houses, cars, the banks took over. Why need to save when you can get a loan and be a debt slave for years. Now people waist money on leasing cars and limited on how many miles they can drive. Now there importing the population as all they know in their lazy greedy corrupt brain dead minds even though we woke up to that and quality life a long time ago. Now they want to force it on us and with barbaric cultures that will never assimilate in their quest for world power and steal the identity of thousands of years of culture over a barbaric one that doesn’t even see the identity of a woman no less a whole culture and there are many. I wonder what common thread they ” Giv. Opportunists.. have as they seem to have no culture nor respect to others who formed a country it’s just a money generating thing to sell out for personal gain. It’s like they have no identity of their own just blend in with those that will donate to them or vote for them. Like Bernie who never had a real job at anything until he got in the Senate with at welfare minded attitude, now just another level. Now we just want to be left alone from them, who have nothing better to do than think of ways to take from us because they never learned to work for anything.
