Does anyone remember what full employment looked like?

[RandallFlagg]

Oh, yes. I can still remember 1959 as if it were yesterday.

I was fully employed building tree forts, skipping rocks in ponds and collecting all manner of bugs.

Dumbshit.
Go back to the early 2000s. Guys delivering pizzas were making 10/hr because of the labor shortage. Unemployment knocking on 3%. Workforce participation way above today's pathetic level.
Yes, bring back the golden era of George W.

I do recall the "era of full employment"......in the 60's, and 70's. If you wanted to work, there were jobs. The "type" of job you held - well that was another matter....but since then? Hell, people don't even bother to look any longer. It's called "hopelessness and change"

I'm curious if anyone still remembers an America where there were jobs....
I honestly don't remember which is kind of sad.

Socialism can't exist with low unemployment...

Eisenhower.....LMAO!

That's your entire thesis? I hope you didn't lose too much sleep with it.

Get some rest.
