History of the BFR?

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

True.

After the Great Depression, my father's generation valued job *stability*
above all else. I personally think that is why businesses and employees
were so loyal to one another -- those guys had seen what a complete economic
melt-down looked like, and they never wanted to repeat it.

My generation has always gone for the "big money" -- meaning that we change
jobs like my father changed socks. Combined with world competition, this
has meant that nobody even talks about "job loyalty" anymore.

Scott Adams put it something like this. Employment used to be like the Christian
religion. You work at a job all your life so that you can have a nice "afterlife"
when you retire. Now it's more like reincarnation. You work at one job for a few
years hoping to do better in your next one.
