Imagine a long-lived person who was born in 1929, and is now 96 years old. When they were 18 years old, they were a well-informed leftist and were horrified by the 1947 Taft-Hartley law. "This completes the Wagner Act legalization of unions if they don't cause trouble," the leftist says, "unions are going to dwindle and become just a part of business."

Now it's 2025. "General Strike now!" someone posts, "and join a union! We can do this!"

The 96 year old wonders what to say.
