Are the 1960s coming back? Maybe. No not bell bottoms, long hair and Woodstock.
Hi, everyone. John Daly here with some informed not inflamed.
Maybe I listen to too much 60s music. Granted I lived the 60s as a boy.
I have studied the 60s throughout my years trying to figure out their effect on US politics and the economy and our attitudes.
I also spent some time recently in Vietnam. You can go to the Undercover Jetsetter Youtube channel www.youtube.com/undercoverjetsetter to see some of those pieces.
To be honest, the 1960s failed. What happened? The 1970s.
In essence we became way to socialistic and as we saw in the 1970s our economy was rocked until the 1980s which led to the 1990s.
But I think the 1960s are coming back. And this time it might succeed.
First, why is it looking like the 1960s today?
We are seeing a populist movement but it seems to be more anti-Trump.
That’s only part of it. Most of it is anti-elitist. Anti-establishment.
The college admission scandal showed us it is not liberal or conservatives. But is both ideologies that foster a similar hypocrisy. They both bind and then blind us.
We have lived through nearly 2 decades of income inequality that has been rigged by the wealthy or the corporations of the world.
The Democratic takeover of the house is a sign of people starting to fight back.
We’re also seeing massive research that shows the corporate elite is profiting while hurting many of us.
Read the book Undoctored. This is one of the best books of the year.
