The fifties....When companies cared more about employees and less about profit margins and bonuses.
When the wealthiest were taxed at a 90% rate and still managed to be rich.
We used all of those taxes to build the nation's highways, schools, and to improve the overall quality of life.
Now we have corporations that don't give a shit about you while folks are losing their homes because of outrageous medical bills.
What a fucking mess!

Admiral William Blandy who is shown inspecting the facility commanded Joint Task Force 1 during the atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll.

"I am not an atomic playboy" is a phrase attributed to Blandy while he was overseeing these tests.

Here is the complete quote: "The bomb will not start a chain-reaction in the water converting it all to gas and letting the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy, as one of my critics labeled me, exploding these bombs to satisfy my personal whim."

He commanded the 2nd Task Fleet and later served as Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet from 1947 to 1950.

Admiral Blandy retired in 1950. He died on 12 January 1954 at the U.S. Navy Hospital in St. Albans, New York,[2] and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
