O/T: "People have short memories. I stumbled on an old TV rerun ... where the main character Archie Bunker was out looking for work. He was talking with another guy that hadn't worked in 3 years. I turned to my wife and said, "how things change and outlooks forget the past". In the 70s, heck even in the 80s, there wasn't enough jobs, no one thought the economy would ever turn around and go back up." <delurk> I remember those times well. As a teenager in the 70's it was very hard to find even a minimum-wage ($2.00/hr at that time) job. And if you did, you could be easily fired and replaced on a manager's whim. Once a new Ponderosa restaurant opened across from the local high school and there was a line of several hundred people of all ages applying for the 30 or so positions. The gas crisis was a recent memory and the steel mills of the area had just begun their massive layoffs. Very different times than these, indeed.
