Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure

For sure this is so, but with that in mind a fair question to ask would be, then, how were the large employers of the postwar period able to almost guarantee lifetime security to their workers? They couldn't have known for sure if they would turn a profit for two decades or more down the road. In fact, when employers of the time interviewed they went the extra mile to weed out those they thought might be "job hoppers", the here today, gone tomorrow types. A common question often asked was where you expected to be in your life five, ten, or more years down the road? We all know that this kind of thinking has now been obsolete for quite some time. And yet at the same time there is a bigger push to set goals then there was then. Or at least so it seems.

Workers were just rarer and more needed then.  If you could lock in a lifetime supply of loyal employees, you did.  Part of the Information Age economy is living with an environment where there are more workers than jobs, but the workers vote.  The current corporations are just taking the cheap and plentiful workers for granted, and the workers are not very organized yet.  They are focused on other issues.

The big thing is treating nothing as holy and fixed.  Retiring at 65.  The 40 hour work week.  Several weeks of vacation.  In an environment with less work to be performed and more people to do it, things have to be adjusted.  Right now, certain numbers are treated as fixed, things haven't been adjusted since the New Deal.  More labor?  Less work?  The corporations are letting the laws of supply and demand run rampant and putting the results in their pocket.

Eventually, there will have to be adjustments made, but not even the blue have recognized the change.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
