    This is the first post you haven’t been praising the 1950s as a better time for workers.

    Isn’t at all, but you’re reading whatever you want into my posts. So keep on keeping on. 👍

    Do I need to quote you back to yourself? Okay, these are your words:

    “If you look at what many consider to be the golden age of American corporations after the second world war, the notion of a ‘company man’ was a celebrated one”

    “but it’s worse now than it was in the – what I’m now calling the first – gilded age.”

    I think we’ve hit the end of productive conversation between the two of us on this subject. I appreciate your conversation up to now. You’re welcome to keep going, but I won’t be responding on this thread anymore. I hope you have a great day!

      If you look at what many consider to be the golden age

      Emphasis mine

      I didn’t even say I consider it a golden age, because I don’t.

      but it’s worse now than it was in the – what I’m now calling the first – gilded age.

      The gilded age was not in the 1950s. Also, gilded age doesn’t mean golden age.

      Agreed. Maybe next time read and understand some of the responses?
