Remember being able to watch any show on Television and not hear any cussing?
WAAAH! The word "shit" hurts my feefees! WAAAH!
Remember when none of the jars and bottles and tubes in the supermarket had safety seals?
I remember there being a lot of dead kids before they started mandating them. To include almost me as a child. And again, I'm a Millennial.
Remember when all the neighbors knew all the about all the other families and the kids all referred to the parents as MR. or MRS.?
Depending on the neighborhood, still happens.
Remember when most families could afford to by a brand new car about every 8 years or maybe less?
Interesting that you oppose modern day American Capitalism and want to return to an era when union membership was practically mandatory and the top income tax bracket was 90%.
Remember being able to ride in the rear of a pickup?
Again, lots of kids died before laws put a stop to that.
Remember going to a drive-in?
Drive-ins died out because video projection got cheaper, meaning a theater could have many screens instead of one. For the same acreage as a drive in, you could put up a metroplex with 6 screens and make 6 times as much money.
For that matter, drive-ins still exist. They just aren't common.
Remember being able to open a savings account about for one dollar?
Again, it's interesting to see you come out swinging against modern American Capitalism.
Remember being able to earn no less than one percent interest on that savings account?
Same.
Remember being able to send Christmas Cards for 4 cents?
Same.
Remember being able to send penny postcards for 1 cent?
Same.
Remember when you knew the name of your postman and likely the meat cutter at the grocery?
My postman delivers to a box a block from my house. Why would I know or even care what their name is? There's no reason you can't learn the name of the people who work the deli at your local supermarket.
Remember the stores washing their windows every few weeks?
Who cares?
Remember when all the stores decorated their windows for the holidays?
Still happens.
Remember when you heard the church bells ringing every Sunday morning?
WAAAAH! My religion doesn't get special treatment in a secular nation! WAAAAH!
Remember enjoying going to Vacation Bible School and being picked up by a bus, and how happy mom was to get you out of her hair for a couple of hours for a week each summer to some church that some neighbor recommended?
I would have refused to go to Vacation Bible School if my parents had made me go. If I had been forced, I would have made sure to get kicked out.
Remember being able to buy gas and not have to imagine that the price would be different from one day to the next?
If you're in your seventies, then the gas crisis would have happened when you were still fairly young. So you don't remember that time either.
Do you remember gas being full of lead and pumping out toxic fumes all around people?
Remember when they actually washed the windows on the auto for you?
Who cares? Get out of your car and do it yourself.
Remember not having to wait in line for gas but driving over a hose that rang a bell so the station attendant knew a car had come in for service?
Who cares? Get out of your car and do it yourself.
Remember when the dry cleaner went door to door to pick up the laundry?
Who cares?
