(549 posts)Healthcare for good comprehensive coverage in the 70s cost 2 dollars a week out of my paycheck, so there's that. I can't even hang out with people in my age group anymore (60s) because after hello the conversation almost always goes to Damn Immigrants that Biden is letting in, Giving em Free Healthcare, or one of my favorites "Ah Kids Today" or their coming for "Our Guns" or their coming for "My Lightbulbs" or now I think it's Gas Stoves, or they're letting men in the ladies room or whatever the fuck. Job opportunities were endless in the 1970s. Hardest part was deciding who to work for, great paying jobs you could start a family on with only a highschool degree, Litton Industries, Grumman Aerospace, Sperry, IBM, NCR to name a few and the 100s of subcontractors who supplied them, almost all with "pensions" and free Healthcare, great Unions.
To say none of this is true is fuckin ridiculous, without Boomers there would be no Trump, no Desantis, no Mitch McConnell. Certainly not the minorities or younger generation keeping the GOP strong.
Shit young folks have little to no chance of owning their own homes anymore, let alone keeping the ones their parents have.
