Was it during the era of the Constitution. Was it during the automation and technology boom. Was it during the Roaring [b]20s[/b] Or the post World War 2 era or booming 1950s. Maybe it was the 90s. When we began using internet 🛜 from our very own home. When do you think the US was at it's peak. Best answer wins. ☺🇺🇸

It's tough to say. There has always been a lot of darkness that's surrounded our prosperous times, be it war, oppression or what have you. All things considered, maybe we haven't peaked yet.
Wages have never been higher than they are now, but what can you buy with them? Cars cost what single family homes used to cost in the 80's. Single family homes now cost what Mansions used to cost in the '80s. The price of gasoline has increased 500% in 25 years. The price of fast food has increased maybe 600% in the same amount of time. Meanwhile, my wages have only gone up 110% within that same time period.
So I'm going to have to say that so far, the best time to be an American was probably around 1974 at the end of Vietnam. My dad was a longshoreman we owned our house in San Francisco and had two nice cars and vacation property, and my mom was a stay home mom and liberated. Also the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964. Not to mention, there were a couple of temps but they were no successful assassinations of any American leaders of any kind except maybe Jimmy Hoffa.
