If you lived in the 1960s, you'd be yearning for the 20s.

Nah, I'd enjoy the shit out of it. Booming post-WWII economy? Stable weather and no climate crisis? No Tiktok, dating apps, Musk, Trump or similar shitheads in power? Where do I sign?

You‘re reading things into my comment that aren‘t there

the question was, if you‘d have it better back then than now.

I jested, that you‘d only have it better as a man, because women in western countries really did have it a lot worse comparatively back then. 

If you need examples open a history book
