pip's not wrong - 1924 was peak "mind your own business" government era. no income tax, no patriot act level surveillance, cash ruled everything around me...

but damn if folks weren't tied up in social chains we don't even have anymore. try being gay, black, or a woman wanting to vote lol. zero privacy back then either - your nosey neighbor knew everyone's business

freedom's like juggling act - they took your economic balls but gave back your social ones. or maybe neither, and we're all just frogs in warming water 🤷
