Once we went to affirmative action, diversity, quotas and feminism agendas this set in motion what happened. This also stymied pay raises and helped to slow economic growth in our nation. Combine that with our manufacturing industries being less and less competitive and selling out to overseas corporate interest, a malaise set in. The effects of the Great Society legislation and the Immigration Act has gotten us to where we are today. Many people employed from after WW 2w that were privileged receive payoffs stipends and pensions along with social security. Others not so fortunate. You attack me as to blame. Most people will take what is offered to them. I have never seen a Progressive say a word about how we receive products from overseas from working slaves for us as they push the utopian equality of all with asterisks.
