your saying in terms of how much more affordable it was

no way. we are decades into the era of privatizing everything. and wages havent risen since 73 adjust for inflation.
i went to my local semi cooperative bank, and on the screens theres a bunch of young people in the back ground with the hashtag "hang in there". this is because property is unaffordable, tuition is $30,000 after 4 year graduation, rents are sky high, and wages are also flat since 1989 in canada.
superior perspective. and looks.

Oh yea, big time. I think student loans allowed college's to raise tuition unchecked.
Check out Penn's historical cost of college page, for example . They and many others, list it. Then, convert that number into todays dollars. It is shocking.

People had less. My parents had one phone, one TV. My grandparents had one car, no dryer.
absolutley. student loans im sure has the same effect as mortgage loans which is they drive up prices. great if your a bank, bad if your trying to be a free person.
and of course the government cut funds to education...i think they used to pay 80% of the cost, and now its down to 50%.
where im from things are so bad that we have an organization which in part compares how much more expensive everything is for this generation compared to the last.
but im guessing wages were higher, debt was less, and alot of things were more affordable...maybe not tvs lol

Wolf of Wall Street moment , just without the money.
that would apply to a high portion of the US population and probably alot of capitalist populations.

Gross.
Hurt feelz? Over what? Ignorant? I've tasted it, even the so-called "good stuff", but I'm not entitled to my own opinion? I think it sucks. Taste is subjective. Overpriced swill, like pretty much every alcoholic drink that isn't diluted beyond recognition and upcharged 800%. But I guess if it makes you look like one of the boys, go ahead and knock yourself out.

Why should he continue to try something that he's already decided he doesn't like? Because you or Austin think he should? He doesn't like it. Leave the man alone.

today's average family has way more purchasing power even adjusted for inflation
maybe they should have had more with all our progress, but they are certainly better off now

If something needs you to acquire a taste for it to like it, it can't be that good. I know I like to say I've "acquired" tastes for different things over the years like music styles and things of that nature, but when we're literally talking about taste, that's completely different.
so now you know why it tastes bad because you havent drank enough of it.
beer is my fav drink, but i hated it when i started.

I remember using a washing machine like this one at our lake cabin back in the 60's. Damn thing would move about 10' across the garage floor during a wash cycle. Had a few pinches to the fingers putting the clothes through the ringer.
hey earth to buzz aldrin! he probably doesnt like it because he hasnt drank it enough. that was my point.
