During my generation- known as the boomers, the economy became fully integrated through corporate policies seeking new sources of cheaper labor. With the simultaneous appearance of birth control pills women were restive about finding better jobs in the workforce and having fewer or no kids. Black Americans naturally sought better work and lifestyle opportunities following the end of segregation. Therefore the affirmative action era was brought into being legislatively in order to promote every American except straight white males- who were the target of demotion.
During my generation- known as the boomers, the economy became fully integrated through corporate policies seeking new sources of cheaper labor.

Black Americans naturally sought better work and lifestyle opportunities following the end of segregation. Therefore the affirmative action era was brought into being legislatively in order to promote every American except straight white males- who were the target of demotion. Affirmative action in my opinion should have been limited to those classes that were legally segregated or enslaved such as blacks and aboriginal Americans. The latter group occurred because they were a naturally separate and independent element in regard to the nation to start with- even recognized as such in the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately the nearly universal affirmative action policy drafted in migrations from south of the border as well, in addition to mostly legal workers from Asia. If straight white men had been included in affirmative action and no group were excluded the political souffle would have collapsed. I believe the end result of affirmative action in the corporate Aquitaine progression (based on Ludlum’s recognition of ancient Anglo-English politics) will be the replacement of affirmative action beneficiary classes by robots and AI. For straight white men the affirmative action effects tended to be attacking, while for the beneficiary classes including white women the effects were all good and positive. The benefiting classes have yet to experience mass negative anti-liberation effects economically for themselves, except of course for black Americans ancestrally, as well as aboriginal Americans. The near future does seem to herald the replacement of ordinary masses of workers with robots and AI. AI is already smarter and far more efficient than human workers at tasks from accounting to store inventories. Robots are the element lagging behind complete replacement of vast portions of the work force. Early in my life secretaries were replaced largely by the appearance of desktop computers that enabled a great increase in efficiency over typewriters. Robots and AI in corporate outlets from fast foods to grocery stores are also likely to experience the shocking appearance of mechanized work. The change will be as great as the change from humans with shovels to hydraulic equipment such as front loaders and backhoes. It is something for the Democrat party to consider as they remain an antipathetic attacker of straight white male job security. Designing an economy that does not seek totalized feminization and dumbing down of society and finds a role for ordinary Americans to have meaningful lives is the more realistic direction to take.
