Yes indeed! And I remember my 1st rally was in 1980 for ERA in Chicago since Illinois hadn’t passed it yet. Sigh.

To be sure I appreciate the safety improvements that happened as a result. You made me curious enough to look up a bit more of the history (I was a pre-teen at the time). Wild to read how GM was going to discontinue the Corvair anyway to produce a muscle car competitor to the Mustang.

Among relatively current reasons to be angry at him, so many of my friends were pissed what he did to the Corvair. They said (and I don’t have the knowledge to dispute this) that going about it differently could have resulted in fixing the car rather than getting rid of it.

I remember being a working mom, so I can sympathize with parents of young children. But still there are ways for them to help.

I have been saying for months that it’s the retired women who will save democracy. Of course the men will take credit for it.
