Yeah, stop spreading this misinformation. The Credit Act of 1974 made it illegal to discriminate in banking and credit but there was nothing preventing women from having bank accounts before 1974.

1862 California passed a law allowing women to open their own bank accounts without a male signature.

My grandmother and mother both had bank accounts in the 60s in their names, along with home mortgage and business accounts, with no other signatures other than their own.

I was paying $500 annually for a new prescription back in the 80s. Had to get new ones every year.

I didn't need glasses for 40 years.

My glasses were costing $500 plus in the 1980s. They needed replacing annually.

Lasik didn't get FDA approval until 1996.

Before that, it was radial keratotomy.

I got mine in 1986 and it was effective until 2015 when I started to need bifocals.

I consider it a success.

Ku Klu Klan.

Alliteration is fun but in this case it lessen the quality of your comment.

Federal and State are both pardonable, it is just different entities.

Federal means no parole.

The repeal would return public masking rules to their pre-pandemic form — created in 1953 to address a different issue: limiting Ku Klux Klan activity in North Carolina, according to a 2012 book by Washington University in St. Louis sociology professor David Cunningham.

Actually, Anti Klan legislation.

Yeah, got rid of all my CDs a few years ago and now I'm buying them back a bit at the time because of all the stuff that is going out of print and you can no longer stream.

Should have just stored everything.

That's true.

But the chickens didn't notice the difference.
