The Roaring 20's

My granny was a UK flapper, she also had her house converted from gas to electricity as a child and her entire school went on a trip to see a Zeppelin landing. A funny scenario she told me about: as an 18 year old flapper she was walked out the door in fishnets and a miniskirt to go to the jazz club. Her Victorian era mother shouted after her: "You're going to catch an awful cold dressed like that young lady!" My gran cheekily replied: "I'm not dressed like this to keep warm Ma!"

I'm 72 years old. In a couple of months I turn 73, I grew up with people all around me who lived through the 20's and their stories were amazing. My mother was born in 1911, and my father 1913. They spent their teen-age years growing up during the 20's. I think maybe the great depression was probably the thing that I heard about most often. The old automobiles, the fashions, even the politics were discussed openly in our household. My father held great admiration for President Harding, and often said President Coolidge and Hoover brought this great nation to its knees, and they single handedly almost brought about a second revolution. Having lived through both World Wars, my parents were a wealth of information. Amazing times were those Roaring 20's.

I remember my 2 years in a factory, standing and facing a wall from 8:30 AM to 4 each day, and all you do is hope for the next coffee break, lunch break, afternoon break, then "Thank God I can go home now." For some folks it's a great deal and they don't mind assembly work or it feeds their family, etc, but I look forward to a day when it's all automated but with everybody doing something else, not being jobless. Not to take away from Henry Ford's monumental achievements, either. Great country, still great, maybe we can overcome the fighting of 2020.

AI will thankfully put everyone out of work but to have an economy with buyers and users of the AI production, there will have to be universal income but it will be a good thing, not a bad thing like it would be now. I HATE working but I know socialism and comism doesnt work, AI is the only hope to eliminate poverty and drudgery.

[@Kunfucious577]

@@joejones9520 i have to disagree with this theory. I believe people with that kind of future in mind have their minds in the right place but forget the unintended consequences. Most people wouldn’t like a basic income. I believe giving out a universal basic income would create a nation of depressed people with a lot of time on their hands to do a lot of bad. Earning money to support your family and yourself is a great accomplishment that builds a person’s character. It increases confidence and self esteem. Depending on the government by putting your hands out for scraps is the opposite of what this country is all about.

Ford paid high but expected high!
She didn't mention the REASON the ModelT was only available in BLACK! That's because demand for the vehicle was so huge, black was the fastest drying paint available. Any other color would have slowed production. Cars were selling before they were built!!!

[@Walkercolt1]

That's an urban legend that won't die. The reason he used black paint, was re-working the tons of left-over WWI nitro-cellulose gunpowders into nitro-cellulose lacquer. He was taking a worthless product and using it for something.

@@theskeptic8489 Yes you are correct in that this decade is the blue print for our daily lives. It brought the beginning of the consumer age, leading to the mass consumer ages since. The juggle of the working day vs the social life of the evening and weekend.

I wonder if the "20's" in THIS century, which just started 10 days ago, will be "roaring" too...

[@Robert_Manners]

The elements of the time that made it roaring are absent from today's world and life's. As we now know the events of the time that created such fast growth in production output, sales, earnings and inflation eventually brought about the biggest economic crisis in history.

11:20 "Lifebuoy" was mentioned in the 80's movie "A Christmas Story" (with Ralphie and the Red Ryder BB gun), in the dream sequence where Ralphie was a blind beggar and he comes home and his parents are weeping over his blindness, which occurred due to "soap poisoning". His father says in a sobbing voice to his mother, "I told you not to use Lifebuoy!"

Communism doesn't work and will never work. Work hard and be successful will always be the key to getting what you want. Here in the U.S. that dream is always possible. The U.S. has always evolved many times over since 1900 with technology and innovation.

The 1920s didn't become "Roaring" until at least mid-decade, something that seems completely lost today.

[@brucemarsico6]

Depends on who you were. If one had made a great deal of money from the Great War, well, the decade 'roared' from its first year...1920. It just took a few years for the rest of the nation to catch up to the frenzy.
