Were the 1950’s - 1970’s the Best Decades?

No it really wasn't. But union jobs allowed women to stay home. Getting rid of unions ruined that. Ignorance won. So the anti union movement is to blame for the necessity of 2 income families.

Union jobs? You’re delusional.
Unions exist now and most women work.

Crappy economy is the problem.

Definitely the fifties.

 

[BackAgain]

Just compare to what you get today.

Music.
Think of all the groups you still hear today.

Sports.
Think of all the players in those decades.

Personal welfare.
Common for lower class families to own homes. With one income.

Health.
Look at any picture of crowds in the 50’s - 70’s.
Few fat people.

Politics.
Left and Right disagreed. But both wanted America and its citizens to succeed.

Technology.
We went from everyone having phones to computers, internet, satellites, etc.

Work careers.
Very common to work in one company your entire career and get a pension.

Entertainment.
Think of all the shows and movies from those decades still around today.

Plus, God graced planet Earth with my presence.

‘Tradwife’ trend says women must serve husbands, ditch careers: ‘The way it should be’

Regressed gender roles are being ushered in by way of the “tradwife” trend – “traditional wives” who are more apt to be homemakers and reject modern feminism.
