Vaccines have been so successful most people today haven’t seen a case of a vaccine preventable, childhood disease such as polio. This has led, in part, to the anti-vaxxer movement, people who are afraid of the vaccine because they are no longer afraid of the disease because they’ve never seen the disease because the vaccines are so successful.

Now we have people against social programs because they’ve never seen the conditions that sparked the need for these programs to begin with.

Reminds me of a friend of mine. Skilled laborer (welder). Got caught up on the right to work stuff several years ago. Hates unions. One day he was complaining that the company he works for  makes a lot but hasn't given raises out in years. I told him to get a new job. He said he shouldn't have to, that the workers should demand to make at least the national average.

I called him an idiot and we haven't spoken much since.
