Surprised at how little has changed in nearly 90 years. The women with make up and birth control “hating that time rarely makes them beautiful and always makes them old.” “Going to California really to go home again” - the gossip and envy. “They don’t see a chance till we get rid of the fellow in the White House.”

The progression from working the land to owning the land to owning a business that has a farm. From farming to eat to farming for profit to farming for corporate profit and world production. Never thought of it like that but it was palpable as described by Steinbeck.
