Well, Doc, I'll start here.
1929 (The end of your time table) wasn't such a good year.
At that time we, as a people, demanded the government should begin taking care of us. Then, what do you know, 2020 is here and our poor, and more importantly, our idiot children have been indoctrinated into thinking EVERYONE but themselves somehow owes them an existence in this world. And not just an existence, but an existence that is even better than parents provided for the last generation!
AND THEY WANT IT FOR NOTHING! THEY FEEL THIS OWED TO THEM.
They have been told since 1st grade this is actually possible, and they completely believe in that philosophy.
There are far too many factors to involve here to make any sense of it, but the gov't and corporate America making it impossible for a man to make a wage to raise a family on, and then, in lock step, the women's lib movement fucked everything up.
So here we are.
Here are my feelings....... I like pie.
Ain't that the honest truth. My Grandfather and Grandmother were born in 1888 and 1894 so they see it all,him WW-1 including in France. They lived pretty much like little house on the prairie until the 40s in the Adirondacks. During the depression he worked at the lumber mill 68 hours a week for $13 and one week of the month he got nothing since they keep that for rent of the company house. That did go down to $9 after he found out some of the company suck-holes were paying that and said something. There was nothing to do but try to get by and they did somehow. Mom use to make dresses out of old burlap bags and her and her sisters would dye them to wear. Can you imagine the karens doing that. Or today's soy boys working hard physical labor 68 hours a week.
And these assholes piss all over our country like the ungrateful pos actors and sports idiots about how terrible it is. F them and the horse they rode in on.
