Hey now, they don't want to bring back everything from the 50s... Suggest bringing back the tax rates from those days, especially for the upper end of the income scale, and they'll look at you like you're crazy.

What they mean is that they wish they could be the grandfather

"I can't get through my day without a shit ton of drugs"

tbqf me too

The drugs and child abuse ones are still accurate.

Ballpark numbers (guesstimated by ChatGPT). In the 50s (after the ww2 explosion of the US industrial capacity) you came home after an 8 hour shift in a fridge making factory and had an income that could easily keep up 3 kids (including education), 2 cars, 1 stay at home wife and a house (like in The Simpsons). Since then the work productivity has risen 600% - 700%, yet the average income has risen less than 150% and the median icome less than 80%.

I still can't get through my day without tons of drugs. Have you seen the hellscape that we live in?

Shit, let's go back to the 1850's! Then, i don't have to pay my "employees" shit!

I think they mean a single income household and being able to own a home

The good old times that never existed, not in the 50s not in 2008, not last year.

There's only one thing Republicans want back. Minorities and women knowing their place

meanwhile they were doing syphilis experiments on black American and everyone else who were not white without a history in American slavery was deported.

Shit times all around.

It is almost like if you kill off half the male population there is twice as much stuff and two women for every man. We just need another world war to get there am I riiight?

So wholesome.

They want to go back in time? Okay let's go back to before Europeans even arrived to America and natives were doing their own thing. Much simpler times.

I finally understand MAGA.

Well grandpa seems to be enjoying it.

Basically the plot of Mad Men

It's natural to remember the hits.

If you ever go back and review the whole catalogue, you won't be nearly so impressed.

back to the '50s*
