I never believed it to be so.

In the 90's when things started to slip downhill.

I don't know, that's pretty close to how I grew up. Not every day, and the styles changed, but it was pretty close. I don't remember sitting around planning vacations, because we went wherever my parents (usually my mother) wanted to go, but the rest seems accurate.

I still do this with my family. I'm 26 and live in an apartment 20 minutes away.

Late 90s.
Half my friends had divorced parents or had parents divorcing.
Its only got worse since then.
Juan Hill
This, desu.
Austin Perry
I don't want children until I can offer them that standard of living, on the other hand I see subhumans around me popping out kids left and right into a misery. It's infuriating. The future belongs to those who procreate.
Daniel Gomez
No iphone. This reality in the picture sucks.
John Harris
Yeah I want to spend days being bored and playing on my guitar for fun. The 1980's were great. No free porn on pornhub, no video sharing sites, no free music no piracy. Those were the days. I wish we could just stay there forever and do nothing.
Jason Powell
No being bored is great. That means you can smoke and die early due to propoganda of things that never happened.

>In the 90's when things started to slip downhill.
Roughly this.
It's about (((their))) globalist agenda. They want to run a prison planet of race-less, culture-less, nation-less, identity-less subdued sheep. They make up less than 1% of the world's population, yet look at all they control from the world's finances to the media that brainwashes us.
In short, they use the entertainment and news media to encourage globalism and discourage nationalism and traditional western values. They distort and lie about the present and past in that effort.

What does this have to do with politics??

the actual standard of living is higher now actually. both parents have their own working vehicles and the kids might have one to share, maybe even one for each, every member of the household has their own computer, smartphone, and possibly Television, along with the main big screen in the living room. Each kid has their own bedroom and share a bathroom in the hallway, while the parents have a private bathroom attached directly to their bedroom. Speaking of bedrooms your average middle class household has at least 3, maybe 4, usually with a finished basement. We have meat every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, and that fireplace? We have electric or gas heat instead of having to burn wood, and air conditioning, and all of the children will be going to college.
That's just average middle class households.
Compared to the "glorious" 50's. Where only the father had an automobile, siblings had to share bedrooms, indefinitely if they were of the same gender, if not the same gender well then the father would invest in finishing the basement, because their starter home never had a finished basement that was something he had to invest in. Nobody had a computer (it'd take up that entire unfinished basement), the entire household would have maybe one manual typewriter for any schoolwork that needed to be typewritten or any official letters, but most was handwritten. There was maybe 2 landline phones in the entire house, one in the main hallway or living room and one in the kitchen (by the 80's and 90's before cellphones took over there was a landline phone in not only those locations, but the parent's master bedroom and any bedroom with a teenager in it). The parents shared the same bathroom as the kids, morning routines were a scramble for showers and brushing teeth, kids just had to shower the night before unless they had night sweats. There was one TV in the whole house, in the Living room.

I really wish the image you posted was sourced more, I could make up all that sourceless bullshit if I wanted.
Joseph Garcia
and on top of all that, no AC, you were lucky if you had an electric fan. Electric heat? That costs money, go help dad chop some firewood.
The president's on TV? Well fuck whatever you wanted to watch, no you didn't have cable, or video games, if you were lucky you had a record player maybe and could listen to some records.
Listening to my parents and my aunts and uncles about growing up in the 50's you'll realize you have a romanticized fantasy of what it was like and in reality, we have it way better now. Our standard of living is so high because we live on credit and debt now, it's frankly unsustainable, but because we have the world reserve currency, it keeps the worst effects of inflation in check and we live like kings compared to the rest of the world. The 80's is when it all began to take off, with people starting to have multiple incomes in the household and that meant shit like enough bedrooms for nobody to have to share and TV's in bedrooms and phones in bedrooms and the family's first personal computer, etc. 90's stepped it up even more.
We're just now peering into the abyss of realizing we can't sustain our standard of living and just the smallest thing will start crashing it.

It is much better to look at web pages for fun.

Christian Gomez
Yeah, around then shit started to jump in price but wages were shit across the board. Now it seems like every employer on earth simultaneously agreed $10/hr is the going rate for everything from flipping burgers to construction labor.
Carson Lopez
Gee Tyrone, if we had known you'd get so worked up we'd have left you in Africa. It's impossible for you to be jealous of whites if you don't even know what they are. Whaddaya say? It's never to late to connect with your roots. I plan on going back to Europe, why don't you head to Africa as well?
Leo Nelson
Pretty much. I don't think it's nostalgia either, things were just more /comfy/ back then.
Dominic Gonzalez
People had furnaces and AC in the 50s, fuckwad. My grandfather had 50s era shit that still worked, unlike modern appliances that die after 2-3 years and cost quadruple the price.
Charles Edwards
you still do your family. does that mean you fuck your mom?
Christopher Baker
the difference there is the complexity of the appliances. Just like with old cars, you can do an engine rebuild and keep a car from the 50's or 60's going today no problem. It was all mechanical. If you have some tools you can fix it up, Modern cars have sensors and computers out the ass, so you really can't work on them yourself anymore. Same thing with the appliances. An old washer and dryer, your dad could probably fix it if something went wrong. New washer and dryer there'll be some stupid ass sensor that fries... the rest of the machine is perfectly fine, but because the machine's computer says theres a problem with x sensor, the damn thing won't even start, and most people won't be able to fix it, you'll have to call for service, and because it's sensitive electronics, you won't just be able to patch it up, you'll have to replace the missing parts, because the circuitry is much smaller than something you can hand solder. It might be something so simple, as the sensor that detects whether or not the door to the washingmachine is locked. Because the machine doesn't know if the door is locked it won't start, because you wouldn't want the machine to start slopping water all over your laundry room would you?
Ryan Watson
Yes, I'm sure the fact that a screwdriver snaps in half now when you turn a screw is due to the amount of electronics in it.

Sup Forums is being slid like mad right now! Wikileaks mysteriously went down and pizzagate arrests close to the Clintons are happening! A retired US army colonel who was on the advisory board of a Haitian mining company along with Hillary Clintons brother Anthony Rodham was arrested for "Bribing Haitian Officials" yesterday:
Henry Hernandez
That has never happened in my experience.
Jonathan Martin
This has never really been a standard of living, even in the 50s. Read some Richard Yates sometime, he lived through it and wrote about how the classic "American Dream" vision of this kind of family life is bullshit and falls apart under the mildest scrutiny.
Brody Miller
