There were not "affordable", they were allocated. One could somehow improve the chance of being "given" that via connections.

And if you changed a workplace, it could be taken back. It wasn't yours.

OK. Suppose so.

I've just been reminded that in the wonderful 70s people felt a bit similarly suppressed and the future dim as compared to 60s as we do now as compared to 00s.

Nothing is new.

What is important, though, is that nothing existing has been given to us be benevolent or harsh, kind or cruel gods. It has all been built by people just like us.

To dream and to work are the most important parts.

Been reading Vonnegut again and it's astonishing how he's calling out the exact same societal ills we have today. Only thing he missed was global warming and that's because many in the 70s thought we were headed for an ice age.
