Cool. The movie is the truth. Always.
And this “old economy” you speak of: That was during 70s stagflation or during the recession of the next decade? You’re not pining for the economy under a Democratic president in the 90s, are you?
And you’re using that movie as a return to family values, too?
At any rate, love the thought process of the people who think you can just get back to the way things were in movies like this if you have a failed casino owner tell you that you just have to trust him to make it all right.
I was at a podiatry clinic on Monday and a guy in his 60s told me he finished high school on Friday and was employed as a joiner the following Monday. Not the first time I have heard stories like that.

In my days, I would just go to the company boss’ office, sit down, thump my fist on his desk, look at him in the eye, and tell him I’m not leaving until I get a job, and I’d walk out with a job in hand.
Bracketing years right around the time that movie came out, the period of 1975-1985 had a higher average unemployment rate (not merely because it was pulled up by an outlier year or two) than at any other similar period you want to splice out between the Great Depression and the Great Recession/Subprime Crash.
Ah, the good ol’ days!
These days, Bezos and his boys will time your toilet break. You WILL accept minimum wage and be DAMN grateful for it!
