the world has changed, I personally do not like the direction we are all headed in but I think these feelings happen everyone in almost every generation.
Today may be a little different
Back then there were only half the population than there is now and western civilization didn’t desire to invite third world violent conquerors to destroy it.
Late 50s, and early 60s were America’s best days.
Look at pics of LA circa 1962 when it was a beautiful modern city. Boy, they sure crashed that party. Those running government did a great job of destroying it. Other U.S. major cities as well were beautiful. Now most big cities are nasty dumps.
awesome!
Agree..when life was good.
I checked. We have four times as much gross domestic product per person in 2024 as we had in 1950.
Our wealth per person in the USA has quadrupled, mostly because we have advanced enormously technologically.
My grandparents ran their farm with horse and human power.
They did not have electricity until about 1950. No engines to cut firewood in northern Wisconsin for their farm, before 1950.
We live in a golden age, and people complain about it.
Then the environmentalists demanded that we stop using plastic bags because they were bad for the environment and that we should use paper ones instead.
It doesn't pay to get too old because it becomes new again.
Today’s youth, by and large, have learned nothing from real-world, life experiences.
Instead, they have a phone that tells them what to do and what to think.
My daughter moved into a house in Jackson in 2002. There was a functioning refrigerator with a freezer that was a U shaped thing in the top of the unit and it froze what she put into it and it had only one door. That refrigerator had been made in the fifties or maybe before. No modern appliance lasts anything like that long.
Regrettably, Youth and Wisdom seldom occupy the same space …..
Back then a good point on advancing is a set back.
Lobbyists not amused
Thanks for posting a great laugh!!
