Look how nicely people are dressed, how clean the streets and the service stations are. This is when folks had pride in their life and their property. How we, as a society, have changed in the past 90 years and not for the better.

[@firepower7654]

@@voodoodisco They absolutely do. Even in poor areas people dressed up nicely when going out. People kept their yards clean and it was part of societal norms not to litter. My great grandparents and grandparents lived in Detroit, Michigan and they didn't even have locks installed on their doors well into the 1950s. They were not rich but kept their small homes kept up at all times and they talked about how they would get dressed up and go downtown for shopping and lunch in an environment of practically zero crime. The issue is you want to keep telling yourself things aren't so bad so that you don't have to face the hell hole you live in now or do what is necessary to fix that problem. There is a solution, but that solution is brutal.

[@andrewwaldock]

@@firepower7654 Well said. Shallow souls like the one you responded to have to lie to themselves and claim that things were never objectively better, because confronting the reality of what we have lost (or more accurately, what has been taken from us) would probably cause an existential crisis. I was born in the mid 80s and the general quality of life has gotten significantly worse over my lifetime, and went into a freefall in the mid 2010s. But as long as people have creature comforts and technological distractions (that offer short term pleasure at the expense of the long term) they will continue deceiving themselves.

Man. There's just a classiness to this era that we just don't see nowadays. The women were naturally beautiful and well dressed. They showed just enough to get a man's imagination going without being obnoxious or acting nauseatingly stupid. These women had the type of class that would drive me bonkers with excitement and thrill of the chase. The cars were also classy too. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of their designs but their designs FIT the era they were created and I would have eagerly driven any of them if I lived at that time. The places shown were also mesmerizing. I would have absolutely LOVED to go to a drive-in restaurant. The "gasoline stations" were truly service hubs. The whole picture I got from this is, this was a good time to live, despite the depression hanging over everyone's heads.
