Yep. As it is everywhere too. I only wish that we could get rid of COVID-19 sooner. This video was closer to another pandemic in history. The Spanish flu of 1918 was a closer time period to this video, which was much like now in 2020 that we are living in, and like we have lived in all year. I’m still a little disappointed that we had that bathroom bill almost five years ago. I’m not worried about it anymore though. COVID-19 is a huge huge huge deal I mean COVID-19 is bigger than 9/11 was. This will go down in history COVID-19 will definitely go down in history. It’s big because so many people have died this whole year since March. We had no idea. It’s bigger because it’s still going on. It’s getting a little bit better absolutely. We have a long ways to go though. They’re working on that seems right now as we speak. Big-time I mean. They are on schedule. It’s unheard of. They knew how big of an emergency this COVID-19 pandemic has been. COVID-19 will be remembered for 100 years. It will be over sooner than we think.
@@Gonzoweirdo1 it was all a scam. and you're right it was bigger than the spanish flu because of the corruption we've been seeing since 2020, some of us saw it earlier.
@@RuthEdelstein I honestly think that when the COVID-19 respiratory illness was at the pandemic phase we just lived through was in my opinion the second worst pandemic we just lived through it it was the second worst in my opinion I think honestly since the bubonic plague the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic when the COVID-19 infectious disease was the pandemic that we just went through that started in Wuhan, China 3 years ago was the same death toll Worldwide as The Thirty Years’ War from 1618 to 1648 The Catholic War that was fought in Westphalia, Europe in the 17th Century. I mean what? When COVID-19 started out as the Global pandemic we just went though right it killed what? Over 6 million people around the world in a matter of what? 20 months right? I mean that’s as many as The Thirty Years’ War if you study which I study history all the time it should be studied more in today’s World in my honest opinion World history, The Thirty Years’ War in Westphalia, Germany from 1618 to 1648 killed as a result somewhere roughly between 4 million, and 12 million lives which is as many as COVID-19’s pandemic phase we just lived through killed. We always think of World War I, and World War II as the worst wars but The Thirty Years’ War was just as deadly, and it was also just as costly if not worse. Trust me. The Thirty Years’ War was extremely catastrophic. We just lived through what it probably must have or what it probably would have felt like to be Louis XIII in 2020, and in parts of 2021. COVID-19’s pandemic phase was the closest in modern times we in our lifetime will ever have felt to The Thirty Years’ War or The Bubonic Plague except COVID-19’s pandemic phase was in the 21st-century not the 17th-century. But we felt how our great human ancestors must have felt only in modern times. The plague, and the 30 years war was the same exact thing as COVID-19’s pandemic phase. It’s just that it was in our lifetime.
@@RuthEdelstein The only difference between COVID-19’s pandemic phase, and The Thirty Years’ War was COVID-19’s pandemic phase was a pandemic widespread disease, and The Thirty Years’ War was a widespread war. I’ll be honest with you The Thirty Years’ War was also kind-of a pandemic I’m just being honest. I’m just gonna be honest things were dangerous everywhere just like in 2020 in The year 1625. Fighting was out there we had to not let our guard down we couldn’t go outside we couldn’t see people we couldn’t be in the world because there was widespread fighting Worldwide daily. People died every second honestly from a wound. Even on ships. There were even pirates that committed acts of piracy in that war. There was no United States at the time of The Thirty Years’ War. But even if there was a North American continent with people even if there were some inhabitants they still had to defend themselves due to the war. The world was tragic during that war. Human lives turned upside down when The Thirty Years’ War started. What ended the war just like vaccines, immunity from prior infection, and treatments ended the pandemic of COVID-19 we just lived through? The Peace of Westphalia. Sound familiar?
@@Gonzoweirdo1 Ben, I have worked in a Charlotte and Matthews NC Hospital all through the pandemic. We had a tough time with covid but it was never what the news led people to believe. I know because I lived it every 12 hour shift.
Racist memories I am sure. I was born in Durham in 1955 in the then segregated Duke Hospital. Durham was a racist and segregated town. I was forced to attend the all white Durham High School in 1970 due to desegregation. I left Durham in 1973 after graduating from High School for New York City (Manhattan) and I never looked back.
They still have singing on the mountain once a year in Asheville. The mountain people and bluegrass singers and pickers gather and it's such a good time
Though I live in the city is something about the south you never forget it's like Brooklyn wherever you go I don't know if you understand that that's what it is Doe it is time that doesn't get lost with range and range doesn't get lost with time the respect for the South I can't say you know I guess it's just a Brooklyn way of speaking for respect especially when I didn't build the school
It's nice to see what things were like back then. It's important to remember the past and our history - so we can value, respect and preserve the good parts, and improve on all the rest.
This is when we had JOBS in NC - tobacco, textiles, furniture manufacturing, banking, finance, and insurance were all big employers before those manufacturing jobs moved to China and other places with low pay workers.
I lived near UNC Chapel Hill for a year and in Wilmington for three years . I love our weather and friendly towns across our great state . We are blessed with beautiful beaches and mountains .
Ah yes this a good old film and I remmber when the Atlantic coast line railroad use to own my train station which was built in 1924 befor amtrak took over my state rail line had 5 tracks befor but now it just has 2 tracks
My how things have changed. I do not think we are a leader in any of the industries listed here now. We maybe a leader in engineering or electronics It always grabs me watching men and women of the 1950s wearing dresses and common wear.

No mention of NC being one of if not THE most racist locations on earth. Then and today. I worked in Durham in a printing shop for Ligget Myers i. 1967. I moved there from a little farm town in Indiana at 17 years old. It was the first time I lived in a city with anyone that was not white. ”Colored” bathrooms was the last of it. It was unspoken death for a black man to even talk to a white girl especially alone. 1967 I remind you. It is different today but the hatred undercurrent is still palpable. Shane on the entire south. I now live in Seattle. Yup, there are lots of problems here but there is zero racism that I've personally seen. The diversity is so great essentially no single group is treated badly. Yes, homelessness and economic problems plague us but we're trying to find solutions that face us here peacefully.
Not really. At least kids back then had a little work ethic. Also, nowadays we just use modern-day indentured servitude by exploiting workers from Mexico and Central America.
My folks picked cotton. They were kids. Nobody made them. They did it for very little money but it was a job they could do and they liked earning the little bit of money. They got paid by the pound. Wasn't much but it was something.
@@daddygrace253 During this film time there was no slavery and white kids picked cotton as well. My folks did. It was a job kids could do and one of the few jobs kids were allowed to do to make a little money.
