I always loved construction equipment as a kid. I had a full set of die-cast Cat construction machines and would play with them in a sandbox my dad built.
Three months ago I bought a Kubota U27-4 mini-excavator. Needless to say, my inner 8 year old is thrilled.
Eh. This charity was done to prove how superior capitalism was to communism at the start of the Cold War and align hearts and minds to Western ideology.
This is right after WWII, when it was common practice to drop hundreds of unguided bombs out of an airplane and blanket entire sections of densely populated cities.
I’d argue we haven’t really changed that much. Charity just isn’t appealing to achieve current agendas.
It’s called “The Handmaids Tale”.
They made it in book and TV show form. Minus the birth problems which kick off the societal change in that story, we’re quickly headed for it.
