OT Unregulated capitalism killing the American Dream

I started working when I was 10. Haven't been unemployed since then except for physical service connected handicapped reasons for over 60 years since.Started out mowing lawns, then sold newspapers, moved because my family moved so had to return to mowing lawns. sold flowers door to door, went into construction with my father, joined the Army, got out handicapped because of the war, recovered partially, got a job at Tektronix, worked there every summer until I graduated in engineering, returned to Tektronix as an engineer. Had other jobs as an engineer until I was unable to work for paricipating in the war and now retired.
Do I blame others for being unemployed? No, others may have lots of different reasons, legitimate reasons, for being unemployed.

Imagine a World Where Workers Have Power.

 

Was it up hill both ways?

 

No flat. But a couple neighborhoods away. I was just hungry for money at a young age. Nothing was ever just handed to us in my family. All of us kids eventually became financially comfortable later in life and I think my parents had a lot to do with it

 

Mine was. I had to work the Forest Heights area near Monkey Ward's. Steep hills and clients that stiffed me, others that paid me very late. Also, not many clients in that area so hard work for little money made worse by subscribers who stiffed me. Lousy area for a boy's paper route.
