(9,314 posts)Please, I wasn't making shit. Luxury? LOL You really need a reality check. You're looking back at history with rose colored glasses because nobody I knew had a good job. We did what we had to do.
Do you think we like losing our jobs at 50 because we're too old? Do you think we like not being able to retire until we're 80? Do you think when we were trying to make ends meet in the 80s with the shit economy that we had the time, energy, or luxury of politics being high on OUR priority list? Think about it....23% interest on a friggin' car loan. I don't know what home interest rates were because I couldn't afford to purchase a home.
But, of course, you don't address any of what I've said about what it was like for us because it's all about you and how put upon you are.
