    I’m obviously not saying the past was perfect, I’m saying we remember a world where a lot of families got on pretty well with 1 parent working paying for a home, cars, vacation, hobbies, etc.

      I also took a pretty US centric view of your comment. If you’re from a country in which the 90s were indeed The Good Times, just ignore me.

      In the US, there were probably more people living stable middle class lives than there are today but there was still a very large and mostly ignored underclass, and there always has been.
