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

Homes "unaffordable" in 99% of nation for average American

Home prices have jumped so much that Americans must pay a third of their income on housing, according to one study.

That’s what Biden blm radical feminists gets us..along with neocon policy


Trumps economy was much better for the middle class

We have record crime waves across the country record homelessness in this country under Joe.

You have to learn to survive no matter who is president and if Godzilla is tearing up your town.

When Trump was president they complained of low wages and were told to fuck off.

In 2020 the economy was a piece of shit under Trump.

If you were Black in the 50s and 60s, you were more likely to live in a 2-parent household with a working father.

True.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Nope.

If you like the Beatles you’ll love the movie.

UNBELIVABLE, Except for that VIETNAM THINGY?

Yea, that wasn't the funnest of times for me and many of my fellow Boomers.

Every generation has had its negatives.

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.

Interesting. No old guy has ever complained that things were better back in the day.

The inflation, gas shortages, bombings and and insane interest rates of the 70's. Woo Hoo!.

Don't forget those patriotic draft card burners, flag burners, huge protests against the Viet Nam war and blacks getting beat up for sitting at a lunch counter in 60's. Woo Hoo!

The country was tearing apart at the seams in the 60s. JFK assassination, MLK assassination, widespread disenfranchisement and inconsistent application of civil rights. I can’t imagine anything like the Chicago 7 happening in this day and age but we have our own travesties.

Not to mention politics was WAY more corrupt back then.

80s and 90s began the decline but the 2010s and 20s has accelerated it

The interest rates and inflation under this Potatohead clown are not quite as bad as under Carter but have been devastating never the less.

Adjusted for 40 years of cumulative inflation?
They're actually worse.

You could compare the stealing of the 1960 Presidential election by JFK with the bogus votes in Chicago that put him over the top but Potatohead's stealing of the 2020 election was a lot more extensive since it covered several states.

Yes....JFK's dad muscled the NY state vote through his Mafia connections.

The thing that helped me and many Americans with Carter's inflation is that if you were working then you usually got decent rasies to cover most of the inflation.

As a retiree enduring Potatohead's inflation the COLAs in my pensions don't cover near enough.

I have to say the government food programs were very good at that time too.

Crime soared and the quality of public education went into the gutter with desegregation.

You preach it great grandpa! Of course your life expectancy was 66 years old then.

Man, we sure could use fewer delusional morons like yourself.

The internet has made people like you such a cancer on the country.
