And that worked extremely well exclusively for white men in that great society you mentioned. It leaves out “lessers” living in that society. The ones who struggled to scrape by because their homes were redlined and valueless and they just took down your neighborhood to build another toll road.

The fact is that perfect time was only perfect for those in the chosen class. Boo.

I think we can do better than that.

Go read “the power broker” good book.
