My son often says he wishes we could go back to the way things were in 2019 😞 I feel the same.

I'd probably pick a date in the '70s myself.

70s with Carter and inflation don’t appeal to me, personally. Maybe the 80s.

That great thing abour the seventies were exactly that no-one gave a fuck abour Carter and inflation. That's why the seventies will always top all decades. And people used psychedelics widely. We actually evolved as a species from the mid-60ties to the mid-seventies. All great grassroot movements started then: Anti-war, anti-racist, reasonable feminism, resaonable green anti-pollution etc.

Except they were doing it then as well:

MIKE WALLACE '60 MINUTES' EXPOSES SWINE FLU PANDEMIC VACCINE FALLOUT OF 1976

I suppose it was less intense than today as they are now relentless, and it seems they will stop at nothing until they get their way.

1965, 1966, Beatles, Monkees, Loving Spoonful. Ah the music then was so much nicer. And of course I was a kid LOL

yes, when rent and houses were affordable and we all had plenty of free time to play music, make art etc.

I notice great war spending and inflation followed this to make us all miserable wage slaves.

Ah I use my phone to read C&C and respond to work emails and read articles because otherwise I’d have to sit in front of my computer for all that… Without the internet, I couldn’t do parts of my job unless I lived in a very large city which I am glad I don’t have to do… especially nowadays.

If I carry your thinking further, we all love the technology that makes or lives better like the internent, we just want to stop the technology that makes lives worse like new vaccines that are bioweapons.

Yes. A lot of technology can be used for good or bad. Think of even something as basic as knowing how to make fire. It can cook your food and warm you, but it can also burn your house down and kill you.

But you would sit in front of your old computer, if that was all you had. I remember those days. And it can still happen that way. :-) No matter what. We’d do what it takes.

To do all that? Yes I could still do it on my computer but I find that sitting in one spot for an extended time is very uncomfortable and impractical sometimes.

I think I would like a lot of the 50s based on what my mom related about that time but there are things I wouldn’t be ok with.
