It’s hard to believe once upon a time you could raise a family and buy a house by oworking at a factory.

Like what’s was the crisis in those days?
What did people worry about

supermarket cashiers got pensions, a butcher could support a household of 4-5 people and go on vacation every year,

Crime was absolutely horrendous. You could have a good life, but defending it was rough . Vietnam brought home a bunch of deranged people.:francis:


You had absolute lunatics like Richard Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmer or Manson just randomly breaking into homes and executing everyone. Like you literally could not stop them or catch them unless you caught them in the act. Folks like Ramirez were taught to be serial killers from their deranged relatives returning from Vietnam. Rape was like an Olympic sport to the Ramirez or Dahmer types and most murderers got away with it. :damn:


Dont even get me started on the gang violence. Even before crack, you had black heroine gangs, Italian Mafia cocaine gangs, and whole extortion rings by Russians, Irish, arian bikers, triads, etc.
:picard:

Pretty much, before camera phones, GPS, and DNA evidence, humans were savages and did anything they could get away with.

My uncle had two kids, a wife, literally worked in a factory. Owned a home and 2 cars. His wife was a teacher and they lived comfortably. I remember going to his block and they all had neat 2 story homes and the neighbors were post office workers, city workers, etc etc.
