My rant after all these years

I was in a discussion about these people who are having rallies to raise minimum wage to $15/hr. The following is where it lead me at 1:30am after a very trying day with the boys after their 2nd day of 3rd, 2nd, and 1st grades...

Oh I know this is going to get me in hot water but it's what I truly believe it...
The problem started back when the men were off to war and in order to supply the troops the women had to step out of the kitchen, out of the home and run the factories. Women got a taste of "freedom" and they liked it. Some, a lot, liked it too much to go backwards. Some, a lot, lost their husbands and couldn't go backwards. Before too long so many women in the workforce even after marriage and family... there needed to be more jobs to accommodate the baby boomers, all of them except for the select few with "old fashioned values"
This caused strain on the businesses big and small in more ways than I can begin to understand. In the end it caused wages to have to stagnate which caused a situation where the old fashioned types couldn't always make ends meet on just one income anymore.
Unfortunately this fed the women's desire to remain in the workforce without true understanding of those affected, including themselves.
We can't turn back now either. It's a vicious circle. The sad thing is its had a tremendous backlash that most don't recognize.
For example, convenience foods were created to make it easier on the working family. You came home to TV dinners or take out pizza. Now we are fat, lazy and our kids have chronic diseases and disorders like diabetes, ADHD, Autism, cancer...
You do NOT find these issues in children, at these rates, in areas of the world where they sit down to home grown and home cooked meals!
Unfortunately, it's gotten to a point where it's hitting everyone in the US, even those minorities who are able to be home and even came from families who only had one working parent because the foods are here and they are convenient. Damage is already in the DNA just waiting for a trigger!
So let them scream about money and minimum wage. It's probably the best way they have to drown out the screams they feel inside for all that's wrong in their lives that they have no control or understanding.

Ok, off my soap box that helped drown out the autoimmune processes I'm dealing with hoping to survive through and my children who struggle with ADHD, dyslexia, ODD,  and developmental delays.
