(2,145 posts)One car is enough. Choosing to work instead of having to work is better. I was lower middle class and we had a tv in the fifties. We took more road trips than families today because we didn't have freeways and we'd visit towns instead of fly through them. Take long trips because less traffic, low prices and no one in a hurry. I don't understand your paragraph and flying and cars. That makes my point. More relaxed time. People could fly in the fifties you know.
Healthcare isn't about the fifties or 2000s. It is about progress and that would happen anyway.
Nobody is asking to go back to fifties. It was a better time for most people - esp. lower and middle class - than today. But if it's all about stuff and money for you. If you can't discern how it was different economically, so be it.
