I hear all the time that the 90's were such a simpler, peaceful time, especially compared to now. I have to laugh at this, because back during the

actual 90's people talked about how awful the 90's were and how much simpler things were in the 60's and 70's. As I recall there was a lot more crime in the 90's. School shootings started happening. There was very little discipline in the homes, at least according to teachers. The "everybody is disposable" attitude became the norm within most companies. In fact things really started going south in the 90's. They are absolutely right about one thing though, life was very affordable and affluent as far as money goes. I remember the 90's and early 2000's as being a very cushy time to live in as far as money and material things go.

I'm not laughing. It WAS a simpler time. Things cost 1/3 of what they do now. And every major thing that takes place, like 9/11 or COVID, just makes everything exponentially worse.

People are even more disposable now due to technology, and tech isn't going anywhere.

@uncalled4 Yes things were way better in the 90s. I just laugh at the idea that it was an innocent time. Like I said, things were mostly affordable and it was an affluent time. But believe it or not people did complain how morally awful the 90s were.
