I also personally think the way personal lives are so exposed now (even BEFORE the internet) COMBINED with pre-existing American Puritanism would really freak him out. That generation was remarkably socially progressive compared to now (well, fuck, Cotton Mather looks socially progressive compared to now) but they were also stoic as fuck (well, duh, post-WWI fallout, the Depression, WWII....). Everyone goes on about how Steve and Bucky go into shock at the price of food, but I think they'd go into shock more at the general inflation, period. (Shit, even just in my lifetime I remember when I could get change from a cigarette machine for a $1 bill and buy a hardback book for less than $20.) I think it'd seem like the entire world was stuck in the 20's-30's boom-bust cycle.

-- Altho I'm finishing The Watchdog That Didn't Bark: The Financial Crisis and the Disappearance of Investigative Journalism and I have to say, I do think Steve would find a lot of the oligarchic megacorporations with their deep influence in politics and freedom from legal restraint horrifyingly familiar. THERE HAS BEEN NO PROGRESS ON THIS? he would rant to Sam in the kitchen. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? and Sam and Bucky would exchange long-suffering looks and split the last muffin. (Sam: "He's mellowed out now, right?" Bucky: "A little bit, yeah." Sam: "Good thing for us all you didn't smother him with a pillow, man." Bucky: "I thought about it when he kept bugging me to read Ida Tarbell on Standard Oil.")
