Quote for the Day:

Industrialism seemed to such men to have destroyed the traditional relationships among men and to have exposed the basic irrationality of human nature. There were others, like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who were also concerned with the "alienation" of man from his society, but they continued to hold to a belief in man's basic rationality. Hitler, needless to say, was not the heir of this tradition.

Seems it has some room to run, but +3% a day on many stocks, even in a reflating paradigm, is a bit much to expect. Tech has been on fire. What was junk a month ago is up 35%, and don't even mention META, NKE.

One reason male workers didn't get completely alienated from society is that they had wives and children. Most of them also got dragged into the community afforded by churches one day a week. If they weren't anchored by these things (and even if they were, some of them) their only alternative was the saloon, something not terribly compatible with a continued work life.

Women factory workers, if they didn't live with their parents, were practically cloistered by mill owners, who didn't want pregnant workers shaming them. Yeah, that's how they thought about it. Women workers who got married were out the door immediately, off to do all the unpaid donkey work marriage entailed.
