re: #234 Justanotherhuman

Regardless of what some people think, we cannot, and should not, go back in time.

With the human population exponentially increasing, the future is going to be fraught with those who want exactly that. The idea of some being in possession of it as their own property, whether by individuals or the State, and others being dispossessed, will be the next major human rights question. And many will die because of it—they already are.

Some things I would not mind going back to:

Jobs that allow a single breadwinner to feed and support a family so that the other partner can afford to stay home and raise a family.

Executive pay that is perhaps 20-30x that of employee pay but not 200-300x.

College tuition rates that do not leave graduates stuck with tens of thousands of dollars in debts.
