Bears Mentioning Dept : In #Prewar #Germany there was an abundance of enthusiasm ( including what would amount to likely seven out of ten #TechBros in the US today) that were assured everything would go swimmingly. By the end of the #War over half of them were dead. This is, to put it mildly, mostly not swimming

* capitalist greed and resource shortages causing inflation

* struggle to phase out of fossil fuels

* China waging (cyber)war against the US and helping Russia fuck over Ukraine

* recovering from a plague

* racist, xenophobic people in government accusing dissenters of being communists

* corporations union-busting and trying to monopolize resources

* talk of nuclear holocaust

* Draconian laws stripping away human rights

* rights to privacy deterioating

am I discussing Pre-War Fallout? nope.

Real World.

Now.

These things are happening now.

Scanning some slides and found this nice MG TB (guessing, due to grille & radiator cap and front "bumper" . Beautiful black or dark. Brown car. If a TB, rare: they made less than 400 in 1939&1940 before switching production to military for WWII.

All I know is this was from a car show in the 70s, in the UK. Townsend of Amersham was a vendor at the show if that helps. MHK 237 should be another clue and car #106 of the show.

"Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel, is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from ships (either as part of regular scrapping or shipwrecks) and other steel artifacts of this era, it is often used for modern particle detectors because more modern steel is contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout."
