We just finished killing japs and krauts. We were the only ones with The Bomb (for a few years, thank you JEWS). We were literally the only country left with factories standing because we were out of range.

It wasn't as wonderful as everyone thinks today, but after the 1930s and 1940s it seemed like paradise.

Adjusting for inflation, the top 90% marginal tax rate only kicked in for every dollar earned after about $1.5million. (So if you earn $2million, you pay the 90% only on €0.5M of it)

Almost no one earns over $1.5million a year in normal income. It's all capital gains, which were never taxed at that rate.

because, people interacted more, cell phones didn't exist so you'd have to deputize people as secretaries, ask a business to use a phone, since payphones probably weren't as prevalent yet remember phone numbers in an address book,

it was still the "slow life" TV maybe even colour TV was around, but, the real bread an butter of entertainment was still in cinema, theater, less cucked versions of seeing people and interacting with them via a plastic encased liquid crystal displayed, rare earth metal super-abacus.

lead toothpaste to protect your gums from radioactive toys, mmmm-mmmmmmm.

things had a certain aesthetic, and engineering had a certain variance from today, IE cars were made of monochasis steel, now it's highly chemical engineered super modular this and that, lighter, more affordable, safer for both occupants and anything outside the vehicle, but.

but back on TV, the signal was so shit there was no suspension of disbelief, being "swept away" by imagery, compared to the antithesis of 4K VR, the shadows in plato's cave are a lot more convincing no matter how you cut it.

The economy was in real good shape, and everybody had jobs, women, minorities, and "good" ones too, they had their stories of sexism and bigotry, eh it was the 50s, but, post WWII, vehicle manufacturing, electronics, canned goods all maintained their stake in the economy and did well. if it wasn't for LSD though, we'd probably be in the fallout universe by now.

plus, wash and wear came around, but everyone still had suits, hair cuts, women were still in the kitchen, not necessarily literally, but figuratively, and women's lib came really as a response to the lack of divorce and gay men marrying women only to get drunk, distant, violent abusive, like Nixon.

Outside of a rogue secretary or waitress women by-and-large did not in fact have jobs. The ones that did only worked until they got married which was much younger on average than today. Women didn't start the working meme till the 80s (required viewing '9 to 5')

Actual careers and good paying jobs almost exclusively went to white men. Minorities filled the unskilled labor gap.

Idealized. In fact most of the photos you're going to see from the 1950s were selected because photography and film was still relatively expensive. And focusing on the crappy parts of society wasn't cool yet.

My parents traveled extensively in the 1960s and 1970s. The shot a ton of 8mm movies. They were almost entirely "best of" kind of scenes because developing 8mm film rolls was still expensive. I even used their camera in the 1980s, and it cost a ton compared to VHS.

The 50s were the peak era for the USA, but a lot of it was naive flag waving. We now know better.

With our knowledge today it would be interesting to see what would happen if we went back to 1950s principles but used modern tech.

Things were less crowded, so the same amount of resources were divided amongst less people=more for everyone

Houses and land were cheaper
No women working+less immigrants+less outsourcing=lower supply of labor=very high wages
Less traffic
Cleaner cities since less trash/everything used less

Businesses also produced less quantity so they could spend more time and more care on each product. Like how hipsters like handcrafted quality items, well everything was like that, your table was meticulously crafted by a carpenter, not mass produced plywood made by Chinese factories and sold wholesale at Walmart

True to a degree. We certainly had a high level of optimism and the red menace was pretty much the only real concern outside of the normal day to day stuff like health. We had blind faith in things like chemistry, nuclear technology (atoms for peace), and large corporations, believing they were sources of unlimited positivity. The only thing to come close since then was the mid 1980s, with 1984 being the peak of that boom of optimism.

to be fair, the one thing they did do and I was surprised was set up Jefferson on a date with the white girl. That was actually strangely forced considering the period.

But man fuck that episode.

though it was worth it to see Snart posing as a 50's G-man

Bad products crowding good ones out of the marketplace is one of the things that the econ101 open borders free trader crowd try to pretend doesn't exist. For many products there is no middle quality category. It's either cheap shit that won't last or super expensive glitzy products that still have shortcuts in them. Even high end furniture now often uses glue instead of dovetailing (though some will paint on dovetails to make you think it is higher quality than it is).

Yeah, the bond between workers and the company have been broken pretty bad. The irony is that it is so much more difficult to hire or fire people now than it was back then.

There was a darkside that come from our naïveté and innocence. Lots of chemicals and medicines were sold to the public that had terrible side effects and harnessing the atom for power didn't turn out to be as easy as we thought. Cars were pretty deadly and as their use grew, so did air pollution, which got to levels in cities now seen in China. Still, even with all of that, we believed in the future. There's a reason why most scifi movies now are dystopian. It reflects our skepticism about the future. We need positivity but the media knows the human brain responds more intensely to the negative.

Hey leaf you heard of deductions? There were quite a few back in the day. They periodically got shaved down as the tax rate fell--that was the trade.

The reason muh living was good was because we were the only economy in the world from VJ day until the 70's so we could afford to pay people with high school educations super lots of money as compared to today.

It's not hard to have a sick standard of living for just about everyone (glossing over the rural poor as we continue to do now) when you are making, selling, and in large part buying most of what everyone wants or needs across the world.

Translation: We had the only syrup tree because the others were freshly-replanted saplings. Once Japan, Germany, UK, USSR etc. got their syrup farms going we petered out in the 70's.

Anyone who looks deeply into past decades knows you are correct. Thing is most of black degenerate behavior was confined to black neighborhoods.

When leaving their neighborhoods to interact with polite society, they had to adopt reasonable standards of behavior.
