Bigger Government, more taxes, lower standard of living.
Remember in the 60’s a man, working full time at almost any job could have 3-5 children, a wife, paid for home, and take a two-week long vacation to the beach with the kids, every year in a car that was not over 3-5 years old, and do it on a single income, and forget to lock his doors on the way out.
So true, Edwin! Fathers were able to raise their familes on one income (Remember the tv series: "Father Knows Best"? But, I was just a baby in early 60's, my parents had 5 kids, both worked (mom started after I was a few years old, more to get out of the house and talk to adults), but we had to lock the doors when we went to Lake Michigan for vacation (we were in Gary, Indiana). We got out of there and moved to SoCal in 1967.
I've been living in Italy now for the last 23 years. I do go back to the states to visit twice a year. Not living there I can see the changes that have taken place more than people that are there. It's frightening.
I was born in 1954 and I remember those days: gasoline was 12 cents/gallon, bread was 6 cents a loaf, ground beef was 59c/lb. Kid played outside until dark and if you went to a friend's house during summertime we were told to "be home by dark." We didn't have to wear helmets when we rode our bikes and I never knew one kid that fell off their bike and got brain damage from it. I grew up in Los Angeles when it was solid conservative - Texas and Calif were the 2 most conservative/Republican states. I miss those days.
Yes, when I tell young people what America was like when I was young, they always look so sad. I tell them this so they will know what America was and what is should be like.
Lol, that's about right! But Orange County is a pretty conservative area where I grew up. Wow, so glad you survived that hellhole. My eldest brother just missed the draft.
It is all FAKE TO SCAM MORE $$ FROM YOUR WALLET. It was Global Cooling in 1960's and now Global Warming BS for the lase decade. Seeding the clouds to produce Hurricanes like Helene to kill people, or drought to stop farming. Have you noticed the biggest polluters are LAB MEAT, PLANT MEAT, Lithium Batteries, that exceed our use of oil and coal. Cali's plastic ban is a farce. As Plastic replaced most bottles, laundry boxes, liquid hand soap, shampoo bottles, assorted storage containers. And our cook wear has toxic coatings. NO stick pushed that. Nor do they last long. I have waterless all steel, and a couple of cast iron, that will NEVER wear out! Trees, plants absorb the CO2 we exhale or animal farts do, They then produce OXYGEN we can breathe. CHEMICALS do more harm.
If they think global warming is dangerous...just wait until the world freezes again.
At least in warm temperatures, you can grow food.
It's hard to do that when snow and ice cover everything.
Guaranteed, in the future no less, it won’t be 40,000 years away, but 50 to 1,500. The climate optimum was 8,500 years ago, that gives us how long?
Unlike most people, I like it cold. The heat gives me headaches.
I prefer the cold too
Me, too. But the Earth prefers warmer. Life works better with a warmer Earth.
Yes and I love to watch things grow in my garden.
Well, if we survive the mice-nova from the sun in 2045, don't worry, it will get plenty cold enough even for you! LOL
1960's - Oil will be gone in 10 years
1970's - Another ice age will happen in 10 years
1980's - Acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years
1990's - The ozone layer will be destroyed in 10 years
2000's - The icecaps will be gone in 10 years
None of this happened, but it all resulted in more taxes for us and more money for those pushing these lies

Those were the days!

Out of the fat and into the fire!
Just kidding, at least you got to see California before it went south, way south, like Mexico south, or better yet, Venezuela south.
I liked the 60’s, I was young (born in 1956), but it was pretty good except for being a soldier, worse than the Korean Conflict.

Damn frightening, what goes around comes around, and that something is Communism.

America misses those days, especially the people less old than us, they never experienced it, or even knew it!

Yep, me too by a couple of years. Whew, that was a close one, and no way to beat it for a poor white boy who lost his father in High School.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Edwin, and at such a young age. My heart goes out to you.
