1950s
>>18514295A factory job can still do that. But you don't want to work a factory job, you'd rather work at McDonalds and then complain you aren't earning more than minimum wage flipping burgers all day
>>18514298>you don't want to workYup
>>18514295Also you're a retardhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill>The first G.I. Bill, the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, was largely designed and passed through Congress in 1944 in a bipartisan effort led by the American Legion, which wanted to reward practically all wartime veterans. John H. Stelle, a former Democratic governor of Illinois, served as the Chairman of the Legion's Executive Committee, which drafted and mobilized public opinion to get the G.I. Bill to President Roosevelt's desk on June 22, 1944. He is commonly referred to as the "Father of the G.I. Bill." It provided immediate financial rewards for practically all World War II veterans, thereby avoiding the highly disputed postponed life insurance policy payout for World War I veterans that had caused political turmoil in the 1920s and 1930s.[1] Benefits included low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business or farm, one year of unemployment compensation, and dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college, or vocational school. These benefits were available to all veterans who had been on active duty during the war years for at least 90 days and had not been dishonorably discharged.[2]That's how most of those homes were purchased, through veterans compensation, not mere "factory jobs".

>>18514298oh yeah, wait let me learn chinese and move to china to work in one of the factories with suicide nets
>>18514298when they deported the browns from the packing plant, Americans were lined up around the block applying for the jobs.You are anti-White, which is why you engage in class collaboration with the reserve army of labor.Youre a shitty leftist.
>>18514303>everyone born from 1930-1960 was a veteran??????????????????????????????????????
The 50s triggers the non white because they never had it nearly as good as they had it.
>>18514295A factory job at Ford still buys you a house and a car in Detroit.
>>18514295Somewhere in Detroit there's an old neighborhood of a bunch of brick factory worker homes, they're very cozy looking. We used to be a real country.
>>18514303Black people weren't even allowed GI Bill benefits and most of those postwar suburbs were white only.
>>18514366>A factory job at Ford still buys you a house and a car in Detroit.yeh but you don't get to assemble cool cars like this anymore, just F250 sloppa with an iPad in the dash
>>18514411>Black people weren't even allowed GI Bill benefitsSouthern Congressmen wouldn't pass the GI Bill unless black servicemen were excluded from it.
>>18514415Most Postwar cars are trash. There's a reason the only cars from this era you still see on the road are one's that have been resto-modded to hell and back. They often used extremely low-quality metal for their bodies that were notorious for rusting and rotting out. And that's also ignoring absolute disasters like the Ford Edsel. They were all sold on styling more or less. They were considerably lower quality than cars of the 20s and 30s
>>18514426the 57 Chevy was actually pretty good for the era's standards which is why so many more survived while Fords and Chryslers of that MY had horrible quality control
>>18514425basedthey barely even participated in combat and were more of a hindrance than anything
>>18514425as someone said in another thread, the original Social Security Act of 1935 excluded farm workers and domestic servants from benefits. this was again to get Southern Congressmen to pass it, since a lot of people employed in those lines of work were black.
>>18514429Many of them were factory workers and made considerable contributions to the war effort and many of them retained those factory jobs after the war ended, as a result of this, once those wartime contracts ended in the mid-1950s, it disproportionately effected the black community, which put many of them out of work, resulting in the Eisenhower Recession that had further reaching consequences beyond the black community. Racism literally caused a recession in the US and Western Europe. If blacks were included in the GI bill this wouldn't have happened since they would've gotten unemployment compensation like whites did
>>18514427>the 57 Chevy was actually pretty good for the era's standards which is why so many more survivedTrue, and the 57 Chevy in particular is iconic for this reason
>>18514427Ford and Chrysler had all new bodies that year plus Chrysler had rushed theirs in two instead of the usual three year cycle so they were horribly built and have an extremely low survival rate. My grandfather had a 57 Ford and he found out the truth about those rolling turds. Chevy was on the third year of that body shell so they had more experience with building it. Yet at the time Ford sold better and in fact moved more cars for the first time in 22 years because theirs was a new design and had larger dimensions. Chevy engineers were surprised that the 57 models eventually became a classic since they didn't see anything special about them at the time and were mildly disappointed that they lost the sales race to Ford.
>>18514452a few more things.>GM vehicles in the 50s-60s generally had a higher resale value on the used car market than Ford or Chrysler vehicles, the latter were more often owned by poor people who beat the shit out of them>the Ford Y-Block V8 was a mediocre engine compared to SBC and it was also discontinued by 1964 so it had less parts available unlike the nearly infinite supply of SBC parts>it had no factory performance parts and couldn't be hot rodded that well
>>18514435black economic prosperity actually peaked in the 1920s and was already on the decline by the 50s. one reason for this was in fact automation (not a meme). improving technology significantly reduced the demand for farm workers and domestic servant jobs that had always been a black mainstay.
>>18514427>while Fords and Chryslers of that MY had horrible quality controlTheir Q/C in 58-59 got better, but the damage was already done and the economic recession also clobbered sales.
>>18514435The two recessions under Eisenhower were principally caused by reductions in defense spending and his administration's tight fiscal policy. Nixon considered this a mistake, he said were it him he would have expanded the money supply to stimulate growth.
>>18514485The reduction in defense spending is what caused wartime contracts to end. What ultimately ended the recession was the Space Race, since that gave the government an excuse to start those contracts up again when the only wars going on were Korea and Vietnam that didn't have nearly the same scope as World War 2 did.
>>18514485>The turn-of-the-decade recession was actually two waves of downturn, from October '57 to April '58 and from April '60 to February '61, and it hit hardest the Rust Belt states and certain economic sectors such as the automobile industry. The recession officially lifted a month into Kennedy's administration, however the economy remained sluggish throughout the summer months of 1961. By the fall, things had turned around and an unprecedented economic boom was beginning that would last all the way to 1969 without an interruption.[9]
>>18514468If your prosperity depended on domestic servant jobs, you were never really prosperous.
>>18514489>The reduction in defense spending is what caused wartime contracts to end. What ultimately ended the recession was the Space RaceThe administration initially approved the Thor and Jupiter IRBMs, but the upcoming Atlas and Titan ICBM programs rendered them unnecessary. However they were continued anyway to preserve aerospace jobs and prevent infighting between the Army and Air Force. Ultimately, Thor became the basis of a major space launcher family so it proved to not be so useless in the end anyway.
>>18514504Jupiter was originally meant as a Navy SLBM but they quickly decided that a liquid fueled missile on a submarine was impossibly too dangerous so they dropped the idea. The program was transferred to the Army and the Navy went on to develop the solid-fueled Polaris instead. Neither Thor or Jupiter proved useful as operational ballistic missiles since no NATO member countries except Britain (Thor), Italy, and Turkey (Jupiter) agreed to host them on their soil.
>>18514485you can tell Ike was a Midwestern farm boy who grew up poor because he was highly cheap and cautious with money
>>18514366That is an unfinished, poorly done, house flipping job. Built in 1942, so it probably has absolutely shit in terms of insulation. You'd be looking at putting in *at least* another 40-50k in sprucing up the interior, re-wiring (which from the pics, I doubt was done. Willing to bet it has a Zinsco panel, and un-grounded 2 conductor AL or CU plated AL wiring), re-plumbing (again, I doubt this was done correctly, if at all), and at least another 10-15k to bring the deck up to code. God help you if the building is considered historic in any capacity.On top of all of that, you would need to find out if it has a good certificate of occupancy, and if there are any back taxes. In Detroit, when you buy a house, no matter how fucked the condition is, you have to pay all of the back taxes, all at once to the city in a lump sum.The house is at best worth 50-75K, to someone who has the cash and ability to bring it up to code. That would be a money pit and a health hazard to a first time home buyer who will likely be stretched too thin to make significant changes until they have built up at least a decade of equity. Effectively, it would be a life long debt trap if they couldn't sell it later for a 10% or more return (adjusted for inflation and opportunity costs).
>>18514352Lol you are fucking crazy, when I seek people to cut a tree and mow my lawn no white person ever applies, at most it is 1 ONE white zoomer charging exorbitant fees. Meanwhile I can easily get a mexican and his son to work for less than the single white zoomer charges.
>>18514531my neighbor hires a lawn cutting service, it's a white literal old guy boomer who drives a '70s Ford truck
the 50s still had over 20% poverty
>>18514542>the 50s still had over 20% poverty>LBJ changes the definition of "poverty" to exclude people on welfare>instant huge drop in the poverty rate
>>18514359From my experience it’s usually redditors that triggered by the 50s, but who knows man
>>18514525>Built in 1942When do you think houses 50s factory workers lived in were built
>>18514295It's a good thing we got rid of this for more diversity.
