80s/90s according to tv: You live in a large house with a huge bedroom and own everything anyone at the time would have wanted.
80s/90s reality: You more than likely owned almost nothing. Except for the lucky few, you were most likely broke and everyone you knew were broke too. You did happen to own a piece of shit VCR.
Idk I remember if you worked at Sears selling VCRs you could afford a modest home. Or at least an apartment without having roommates. You could get a car and see concerts, ballgames, and movies. The food wasn't all garbage processed milk and eggs were cheap a lb of burger was like 2 bucks. Cable TV/streaming wasn't 150 dollars a month. You still could make it work. After 9/11 that dream ended.
2001-2008 there was still hope... but yeah once they bailed out the parasite class, then successfully suppressed public lashing out in NYC. It was a wrap for the pedon class but even then most were in denial until COVID hit.
THEN THEY AGAIN BAILED OUT THE PARASITE CLASS
I think we are finally hitting the critical mass of population who got woke on the class war issue.
Yep. The college education I got in the early 00's now costs 4x as much.
Young people now are screwed. I am glad I never procreated.
Everything thing comes back to 9-11
Expectation: Full House
Reality: Gummo
The 90's for me.
Had a hard-working dad who was on a roof every day and owned his own company. (Which the '08 crash pretty much destroyed.)
I had everything I needed, a lot of what I wanted, and my life as a kid was a good one. The major upside, looking back, was that I had a future to look forward to, and that's something most young people now don't have.
