Protections? In like the Great Depression, for example? Or just in a thin strata of 20 years from the '50s to the '70s thanks to the spoils of WW2 + pre-computerization?
And now we have no child labor, no draft (or even civil service to get people out and mingling with a diverse range of their fellow citizens for the good of the country), the weekend thanks to unions, civil rights, entertainment and knowledge at our fingertips... it's horrible. Why plant the tree, especially if I don't get to enjoy its shade? :c I'm picking up my toys and going home!
