Still trying to figure out what breakdown in the education system led to ppl believing that the nation came through great crises with no major action by state and federal governments that curtailed civil liberties & private industry SEVERELY

Be mad, but at least be educated ffs

It took the nationalization of major industries to actually get to war readiness for World Wars I and II in the US; severe rationing in both; the DRAFT ffs; changes in tax rates. Drastic changes to the entire structure of society

The same idiots who post "young people today are weak and couldn't handle D-Day" memes are the same ones throwing a hissy fit outside Baskin Robbins because they can't understand the actual concept of public good in the face of a national threat

Reasons historians drink

We won't learn a damn thing from this, will we

Historians will write stuff & be ignored

And my alcohol bill will just continue to rise

I shoulda been a fuckin plumber. Probably would make more money anyways, and people listen a lot faster when their basement is flooded
