Yes it was bad, fucking bad, super bad not great at all. I know my history lessons.
But that's not happening now here, we overcame we got shit done
Because society is meant to improve and we did and stuff is still bad for some people.
But currently the US is backsliding into a tailspin of horrendous education/obesity/healthcare/racism/religion bullshit that a current democracy really shouldn't experience.
I find that super scary and as much as I like to fight on these forums about all kinds of topics - saying 'oh why don't you just eat right from the gardens you can plant in your free time in your huge backyards and then order some healthy food from Amazon you lazy sillygoooses' is not helping.
