    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 am also of your generation. He had the good fortune to be born mid century. Like the head of Janus, we could see that first half of the century due to what our grandparents and parents told us about those years, as we looked to the future in our time. We were fortunate to experience a time of a stable economy when people had money in the bank and could afford to live on a single income and enjoy living. We now have two generations who were cheated out of the standards we enjoyed and were lead to believe that this was normal and acceptable. Ever since, more and more has been taken and standards have lowered more and more. We are approaching the threshold of a "new" American experience and the challenges it will bring. I just hope that those 1/3 our age who are in charge now will rise to the cause because the baton is now in their hands.

    Every time I see someone working on an assembly line, I feel sad. 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.

      @@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.

      It was blamed on Spain as it was neutral. That "flu" was from the POISON shots at Fort Riley and from there it spread. And you are an absolute TOOL if you think this is more than the FLU and "Covid will be over". Too many lies have been told to justify illegal "lockdowns" and the governments are drunk on power and control. No, you have seen nothing yet. That SCMUCK Gates talked about this "pandemic" and a SECOND "pandemic" afterwards before this ever came about. "Herd immunity". CATTLE are called a HERD. HUMANS are groups, parties, mobs, a population, HOMO SAPIENS but not a "herd". But that is what "they" think of you. So wear your Sheeple Mask and Goober Gloves and take your aborted baby lung tissue shot, it will only get better as you accept their lies.

    I watched a documentary on Ford before, and while he was a wildly problematic man in many ways, mostly a product of his time, the way he treated his employees, the thinking behind paying them more etc is something I wish his modern equivalents would adapt. Instead we seem to have taken leaps backwards. Companies don’t care about employees. The bigger they are the worse they pay them and treat them-amazon, disney etc. They seem to value profits over people, encouraging slave like labor in order to make those at the top richer than God himself and that’s it.

    I don't want to rain on anyone's 20s but this is an idealistic look at only a very small segment of American society. Industry was timing every task and putting impossible stress on workers. Credit began and set people up for the oncoming crash. Banks we're giving money away for everyone to invest in the stock market. That's what contributed to the whole collapse. Black people were moving North in droves for jobs and trying to get out of the Jim Crow south. Slumlords got fat from the sweat of African Americans. This video is a totally romantisized view. Just as long as you're awake of those facts enjoy the entertainment.

Huge numbers of farm workers were no longer necessary, and racism kept most from holding other jobs. Urban areas were where the work was at, so they left the rural south.
