Things were easier back then financially no doubt. Were they the best of times? Not so sure about that, people were a lot more narrow minded back then.Sumela » 31 Jan 2024, 12:20 pm » wrote: ↑ Thanks. No system of governance is perfect.
Im open to learn the best qualities of each system, even Communism.
Our system evolved into vampiric neo-liberalism and crony capitalism.
My Grandpa loved to talk about his and my Grandma's first house.
1100 sq feet. Small 3/2. Fenced yard. They had a baby. They were both in their late 20s.
One car - 1950 Chevrolet Deluxe. Grandma didnt work.
And they lived happily on a young auto mechanic's salary. Owned a car and a house on one income.
Brother we all got bent over and **** - We've been had.
Hopefully I live long enough to see the silent generation and most of the boomers pushed out of office. What happens after that with younger generations in charge will be interesting to watch. Which direction will they go? My gut says Euro Zone. Government expansion.
P.S. Too funny, my grandfather was also a mechanic, worked his way up to service manager. Spent another 25 years after that doing small engine repairs out of his garage.
