Come on man, Grease in 2023 would be set in 2003.
No snapchat, more like SMS, AIM & MSN.
Disagree.
I guess I’m the only one who actively hated ‘200’ when it aired.
The show was great, I’ve watched every episode multiple times (except ‘200’).
But there was a very clear quality decrease as time went on, I mean they even started letting Teal’c write a handful of 'em.
Daily, but not for what it was intended as. I replaced the disk with a 1TB one dual boot Ubuntu & use it as my main PC.
IDK let’s see.
Other countries finally starting to pull out of the rubble of ww2.
The massive influx of the baby boomers into the workforce devaluing labor. Couple this with boomer women demanding jobs instead of being house wives, further adding to supply of available labor.
Come 1980 we add in trickle down economics which encourages the hoarding of wealth.
Then there’s computerization, automation and globalization that have been rapidly bringing up per capital productivity. Weirdly this devalues labor, because you need fewer people.
That’s just off the top of my head.
Unions are important and can be a force for good, but the data doesn’t fully support the claim.
Simple solutions to complex problems are usually being sold as a way to manipulate people… Don’t buy in to simple solutions.
IDK if you think the culture is a utopia you read different books then I did.
It’s a utopia in almost the same way the world of Brave New World is a utopia… Only if you look skin deep. Any deeper look it’s either same shit different day or perhaps even a distopian where human like species are effectively pets or zoo animals for AI.
I did NOT read the culture as something good.
You’d still have to work for your living in said scenario.
Nobody is gonna bring you chicken tendies three times a day in your hidden cottage.
Uncontacted hunter gathered tribes work, it’s right there in the description. Not 40 hours a week, sure, but you can live a much simpler lifestyle in the wilderness on a similar work ethic.
Labor is an intrinsic requirement of human life.
