We haven't even touched the psychedelic rock era.

Off this morning. Vacation day, more or less. Drinking beer, smoking weed.

Visited my probation officer first thing this morning. Everything cool.

This 1975 SNL sketch happened after this important ruling..

The Court also reaffirmed the holding of Griggs v. Duke Power that "employment tests that are discriminatory in effect unless the employer meets "the burden of showing that any given requirement [has]… a manifest relationship to the employment in question.[1][3] In the 1950s and '60s, Albemarle began using pre-employment tests, one of which was the Wonderlic and required a certain score for employees to be eligible for higher-paying jobs. Justice Stewart also approved of and cited EEOC's guidance on validating pre-employment tests. Albemarle's attempts to validate the tests as appropriately job-related fell flat.

Basically another strike down of using tests for ordinary jobs.
This eventually led to college degrees being a basic requirement for job applicants and the whole financial burden and bloat it has caused.
