Lewis Powell- the creator of the blueprint for the Post-1970s attack on workers.

I mentioned this in a comment on a previous post, but it might be interesting for everyone. Lewis Powell wrote what became the blueprint for the business class dismantling of the New Deal and post-WW2 era social supports and efforts to make the USA a better place to live for everyone. Barry Goldwater can be credited with sowing seeds, but Powell, before he became a Supreme Court Justice, wrote the playbook:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum,_1971 ​ A lot of people like to blame the government, but government is what we make of it. I think the private sector and its political power is to blame. Edit: looks like someone posted about Powell a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/zmntxh/the_powell_memo_corporate_americas_blueprint/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
