I grew up with family that served in WWII. I grew up with family stories about how the family farm was lost to The Bank during the Depression. I grew up in a family --- Mother, Father, no particular hierarchy, but present and working hard.

It sickens me that most people will go along. Too lazy to learn. Too lazy to care. As long as they can buy cheap stuff to celebrate any number of fake occasions. Made in China. Uyghurs? Never heard of it.
