Homie you are missing the point, no one is saying people didn't have problems, what they are saying is in Relative AND absolute terms to now, things are both more expensive and people earn less.
We can look at statistics to prove this. Anecdotal evidence exists, but it doesn't prove anything.
Relatively, it fucking was a breeze in terms of cost of living. Of course there were social, technological and other issues, no one disputes that.
You need to do some math here because I think you're trying to put out a "gotcha" moment but the math stills sucks. Last I checked minimum wage is what, $7.50 or something in the US? So even at. $3.10 an hour minimum wage, that $25,000 house would have been a fucking steal, even at 13% interest rate, hell make it 20% if you want. Cars were cheaper then too.
You know what I love about Lemmy? If you block someone, you legitimately just don't see their comments.

While I don't disagree with what you're saying, holy FUCK, you need to learn how to break up your thoughts with a period. You have 5 paragraphs and 6 periods.
Main advantage is typically less DCMA take downs. The public ones are public access and therefore the bots crawl those and submit the takedowns faster than on a private indexer.
Hypothetical question, are you okay with teaching children about straight relationships? Or is that something they should figure out later in life, not when they're 8?
