Ayn Rand Was Once “A Thing”

Ayn Rand was “a thing” when I was growing up of the 1960s and 70s, though most people today wonder how that was possible.

Here’s an AI summary of what liberals/altruists gave us:

Liberalism has historically driven the establishment of fundamental rights, social safety nets, and regulatory protections in the U.S. Key contributions include the Bill of Rights, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, civil rights legislation, the 40-hour work week, women’s suffrage, and environmental protection laws, focusing on individual liberty and equality.

Fundamental Rights & Freedoms: Promotion of freedom of speech, religion, the press, and separation of church and state.

Social Safety Nets: Creation of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to protect vulnerable populations.

Labor Protections: Establishment of the 40-hour work week, child labor laws, overtime pay, and safe working conditions

Civil Rights & Equality: Driving forces behind the Civil Rights Act, women’s suffrage (right to vote), and marriage equality.

Consumer & Environmental Safety: Implementation of the Pure Food and Drug Act and regulations for cleaner air and water.

Public Infrastructure: Expansion of public education and investment in infrastructure.
