Americans back in the 50-60s were so much wealthy that they could afford disposable V8 every 2 years.
That or it's pretty cheap to make disposable rust buckets that are styled nicely and engineered at what we'd call jeet-level today.
We're almost certainly wealthier in most real and practical terms than they were. Houses are pretty nice, AC is everywhere, every home has a huge plethora of computers, appliances (which work much better generally) telephones, and tech that was science fiction back then. We've got more food, generally better food, and extraordinary varieties of it, which we prepare more artfully. If contemporary culture sucks we've got access to previous culture at extraordinary levels without advertisements if you're clever and for a fairly modest subscription if you're retarded. Everything can be delivered pretty cheaply, and it's of generally uniform quality and pretty comparable. People doom about the consumer economy these days, but it's a fucking miracle and we have so much nice shit accessible it's pretty wild. Poor people today have it better today than in the 60s. Even some of our homeless seem like they've got a good deal going.
Our social wealth is lower, our infrastructure is not on a par, and architecture and design are worse, for sure. Artists are retarded, fat, gay, nigs or nig-minded, and culture is a fucking sewer. But our stuff, our consumer goods and durable goods, it's all gotten pretty good. Line doesn't go up if shit's not getting better in ways that matter to people. Can't really just magic up or fake on the books all of the process and quality improvements we've gotten. Look at our goddamned toys.
Needs to get a hot chick in there to really drive home that voting D is for ugly fat people.
Don't worry the Dems will have ugly fat people denounce all of the NFL studs saying "Hey kid, you too can exercise, not eat like a pig, and look good"
