This applies to a lot of what we experience in life. Shucks, most
people who got jobs in the 1950s, 1960s, and even 1970s were
incredibly lucky. Practically any salaried job had tenure! Employers
would carry a loyal employee to the grave. Amercans were "salarymen"
just like the Japanese, though in a more informal fashion.

College teachers were fortunate like airline pilots. Now the
first-timers work three jobs to get by.

But as a society, who wanted to go back to the 1950s or even the
1960s? We are at least twice as wealthy now.
