Except a lot of men who fought over there were rewarded with returning back to the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder.

Status quo was maintained. Women and people of color were promised opportunity and reward for helping with the war effort, but largely didn’t get it.

To explain your downvotes.

Women were encouraged to join the work force on top of all of the parenting/wifely duties they were saddled with for generations. This was a lot of work, but it also provided a glimpse into financial independence and equal placement in the workplace for the first time.

But when the war was over, women were encouraged to jump right back into the kitchen.

should men returning from war not be entitled to their job back

There are many jobs that need to be done to make society work. There are plenty of jobs at home that they could have taken.

Yeah and “we can do it,” until the men come back home and take the jobs back.

My favorite part of this game is that the developers had to write special code so that Mickey’s ears are always facing the camera as is canon in Disney animations.

My wife is playing through Dreamlight Valley and they used a static model and it’s depressing.

Lots of popular Youtubers are already there, and they strip the sponsor segments out of their content too.

My personal rule is female adjective is okay, female noun is not.

a loan for a used car sounds wild to me.

Predatory car loans has entered the chat.

I don’t know about Carvana, but plenty of scummy dealers will give insane rates to people with no credit check, repo the car while they’re still underwater on the loan, and sell it to someone else. You can have two or three people paying off the same car.

Oh, also, they somehow encourage the most gullible people who can’t afford their loans to just let the car get reposessed instead of attempting to sell it back to the dealer.

The perfect consumer-facing example of this is Clear at the airport.

Instead of waiting in line to have your ID checked by a TSA agent, you let an iPad take your picture and then have an agent walk you to the TSA agent and vouch for you.

The whole iPad thing is marginally faster than just checking your ID by hand, so really they just found a way to monetize cutting the line. This provides zero net benefit to society except for extracting money from people for something that’s supposed to be free.

Also, when everyone has Clear, we’ll be back in the same boat with long lines and they’ll probably charge more for Clear+ or some shit.
