    80s/90s according to tv: You live in a large house with a huge bedroom and own everything anyone at the time would have wanted.

    80s/90s reality: You more than likely owned almost nothing. Except for the lucky few, you were most likely broke and everyone you knew were broke too. You did happen to own a piece of shit VCR.

        2001-2008 there was still hope… but yeah once they bailed out the parasite class, then successfully suppressed public lashing out in NYC. It was a wrap for the pedon class but even then most were in denial until COVID hit.

        THEN THEY AGAIN BAILED OUT THE PARASITE CLASS

        I think we are finally hitting the critical mass of population who got woke on the class war issue.

          Yep. The college education I got in the early 00’s now costs 4x as much.

          Young people now are screwed. I am glad I never procreated.

      The 90’s for me.

      Had a hard-working dad who was on a roof every day and owned his own company. (Which the '08 crash pretty much destroyed.)

      I had everything I needed, a lot of what I wanted, and my life as a kid was a good one. The major upside, looking back, was that I had a future to look forward to, and that’s something most young people now don’t have.
