Complex but yes partially. Hunter Thompson wrote about his life in a small Colorado town gone to seed as "Fat City" about 1972. 1975 and essentially the Fall of Saigon stopped protests for years. I imagine being in 1975 age 25. Looking back to then I, at 18, in a suburb of blue blue collar construction workers, military retirees, government employees, and my very good Community College know the youth older than I were job seekers not political people. Sacramento Area as the State Capitol was surrounded by military installations including a SAC air base for nuclear weapons. Had I gone to Berkeley no war, no draft, blue sky seemingly would have been interesting. I would drive to Berkeley for book stores.
Yeah. We split, and you are right, the dot com thing looked good for the city, lots of high end work, I was in the middle of a remodel in the Marina when it crashed. The job folded, half done. The guy got wiped out. We got paid but it was touch and go. A shame, nice people really caught it, the lash of the prosperous almost.

Flower people end up working for the man.
