After WW2, there was little competition from the rest of the world until the 70s.

The change is so obvious. We had friends even in the 90s growing up who’s parents worked at grocery stores and owned houses in the Bay Area

Things will NEVER get back to that because corporate greed and the need to maximize profits is wayyyyy too high

True ..but people lived much more modestly then. Houses were small. Today, people’s basic needs aren’t that basic. Lots of frills that make monthly budget huge.

So it isn’t necessarily that the older generations are out of touch, they’re just going based off this amazing economy that we had and can’t see the changes

I don't know. My grandparents worked very hard and didn't have much in the 1950s.

To give some perspective my mom in the late 80’s/early 90’s was making $15hr and in a union 40yrs later we barely make $15 because no body wants to pay a fair wage.
