Our center is just way outside and to the right of people's overton windows from 100 years ago with regard to some of those policies. Not all of them though. T

Our center is just way outside and to the right of people's overton windows from 100 years ago with regard to some of those policies. Not all of them though. They thought tip-only wages, child labor and openly paying different rates based on people's ethnicity were all reasonable practices. Ford would have people inspect his workers home and would dump them if they were being too "foreign", I mean we are talking Lochner era here. It's a mixed bag. Culture is some amorphous blob, stretching one way and ceding ground the other. You could get a decent paying union job in 1920 without a highschool education but you could be fired for infidelity with your wife, miscegenation, being gay, etc. And just forget about gender equality. It'd be nice if we could "buffet" practices from the past and skip over the ones we find distasteful.
