Yup, my parents paid for tuition, books, leisure, food, and board working a summer job.
I had to use the GI Bill, a part time job in fall, winter, and spring, full time job in the summer, doing almost no leisure, money I saved up while in the military, and money my grandparents gave me
Brought to you by the early 20th century labor movement.
The foundation got laid so strong that people had time to forget what it even was or why it existed, what it was like before. It was worse than today, if you can imagine. Now we're going to have to build the whole damn thing again. No one "in charge" is planning to help with it, either, just like last time.
Honestly, doing a reboot might be for the best. The process to get it started would be painful and awkward, but it might be worth it if every American can live the rest of our lives in comfort. We should live without worrying about poverty nipping at our heels.
Historically, most "reboots," at least of the type I think of when you say that, make things worse. I think the labor movement succeeded because it was:
No one was concerned at all about "tearing down" any government or about building up any new structure which was going to "fix" anything. It was dead simple: If you want us to work, pay us what we deserve, otherwise get fucked. Whatever governmental or industrial system wants to stand over that and tell it what to do, honestly doesn't really matter all that much to it at the end of the day. Which I think is how it should be.
Towards the end, the government came around and started supporting the workers which helped lock in the gains, but they were doing all their changes from the bottom up and building up the strength there as opposed to any concern at all with the top part.
