A Brief History of Let’s Bring Back The Good Old Days

🧵
2023 Bring back the good old days of the 1970s and 1980s. It would be great to have some of the old shops back. --The Northern Echo, 9 Mar 2023
2014 We need to bring back good ol' days Editor: Once upon a time and not that long ago, unemployment was around 5 percent. The work week for most Americans was at least 40 hours. Gas was under $2 a gallon. Government assistance wasn't needed so much for a high percentage of American families to survivie on. What is needed is real honestly and a workable plan that can bring some fo the good old days back again. The new strategy must come from the top. Maybe, just try a few free-market economic ideas; they worked in the past. Now it's the radical Saul Alinsky vs. economist Milton Friedman's. --Po...

A Brief History of Kids Today Need More Discipline

🧵
2016 Kids need more discipline When I was a teenager, we'd call neighbors, friends, etc., and ask them if they had Prince Albert in a can (meaning pipe tobacco). If they said yes, we'd say, "let him out." These days, teens call schools, threatening to shoot students, policemen, bystanders, etc. This makes me think about the lack of discipline existing anymore in both homes and schools. In the 1940s when I was a teenager, if I transgressed, I got a spanking and maybe a week or two of no dating or fun things. Nowadays what discipline, if any, is meted out to children when they do wrong? ...
2010 From "Cutgovtspending:" "Gone is the tough assistant principal who dishes out discipline." Are you kidding me? These kids need more discipline, not less. This is one of the major problems with today's kids. There is no accountability for their actions. --Lansing State Journal, 13 Aug 2010
