Perplexing that THIS is the ballyhood inventions. There are other more astounding inventions. But 1928. What took them so long?    I mean we had cars in 1903- or sooner. The car alone effects me more the sliced bread.

Then- and you need to be sitting down for this.

Being that they BANNED sliced bread in 1943, COULD it happen again? No one really talks bout that ban- nor- how life- was so improved over it.

Which- brings me back to- what took them so long?

Come on now folks. We had enough doom.   Get your mind and gear. Ponder the implications of this. And add YOUR assessment of this earth shattering part of our life.

We were in the midst of World War II. The tide had not yet turned in our favor, and many among the citizenry across the land accepted that they had to sacrifice if we were to whip the enemy. In homes, millions of blue and gold stars were in windows, many family jalopies were in storage for lack of tires and gasoline, workers were on 48-hour weeks, just about anything good to eat was rationed as were shoes. Cigarettes weren't easy to come by as most went to the armed forces, there were blackouts in coastal areas and air raid drills in villages and cities. People making more money than at any time since the beginning of the Great Depression found few consumer goods available to spend it on as industry focused on supplying the troops./snip for the article go here ->

So- not able to get parts. That could happen today. We import and ship nearly everything. We have no certainty that trucks wont be hijacked. (urban unrest-, people could target trucks and per haps drivers wont deliver into the riot areas)
