Hmmm.... You mean the wonderful 1920s?
Where large industry was totally unregulated, pollution was through the roof, workers had no rights and deadly workplace accidents were the daily norm?
Where anyone who tried to improve or protest those conditions was accused of being a communist and arrested, maimed or openly killed by the police?
The world which just emerged from a war that killed more people in a week than the whole Ukraine conflict and was heading into the largest financial crisis recorded, which would in turn give rise to another such war?
Yeah, I'd totally love to live in those times!

Reply to comment by Asymptote_X in Going to start reading Shakespeare. Any advice? by SnowFlakeObsidian4
Give it 200 years and people are going to be writing essays:
"The importance of the recurring theme of metamorphosis in the Marvel Universe and how it foreshadowed the body fluidity movement of the late 21st century".
You just see...

China will make some empty promises and continue as usual.

I'll be honest, I am not a huge fan of reading Shakespeare. The plays are a great experience when you watch them but I always find reading them tiresome. It's like reading the script for avengers endgame rather than watching the movie.
So my advice would be to try watch them instead. Either online or you can try to find something like National Theatre Live in your local cinemas.

It's not the responsibility of the companies to check if their client is not by any chance a front set up by the russian secret service.
