@cliptopia99: The incredible 25-year period from 1948 to 1973, when the US economy was booming, and the American Dream was within reach for many. How regular jobs provided high pay and amazing benefits, allowing families to afford homes, send kids to college, and retire comfortably. #AmericanDream #USHistory #EconomicBoom #MiddleClass #CivilRights #GoldenAge #1948to1973 #HistoryNiche #ViralHistory #TikTokHistory #history
Corporations were taxed at lime 50%. It was great.

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

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

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.
