I like life better now than in any other decade. Maybe I am the only one.
I think people condense past decades into a Greatest Hits deal. When you consider true daily life, not the best days within, I think things are better now,
FORD stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. I will take my foreign car, thank you.
Every possible food item is available in any given five mile radius. You cooked your own damn food long ago, and there were few singles so you bought family sizes and ate it until it was gone.
You have access to information and access to any type of community now. Yes neighborhoods were friendlier then, but you better like it, because you weren’t getting very far from your neighborhood.
Same with travel. Flying all over the world, even flying all over North America, just didn’t happen long ago. How many sex workers have you talked to between cum #1 and cum #2 and found they know the Carribean like the back of their hand. People that age had barely left the state or province in the 1970s and 1980s.
And speaking of sex workers, I like the group of ladies I see regularly now better than the regulars I saw decades ago. Are they on average 10 pounds heavier and have 10 more tats than the girls decades ago? Yes. Did they start in the business five years later than their predecessors? Yes. But they are a hell of a lot less inhibited. Christ they offer a set of acronym services on a regular basis that would have made their mom‘s blush at that age. And you deal more with the lady herself who is running her own business and her own life, which makes her more confident.
You weren’t more free back then, you just had more mobility within a smaller bubble. I think the overall life experience is better now. Because of all the choices and opportunities, it is just more frightening and bewildering at times.
