That’s what a real man does. Eric Howard, Weld County, Colorado, an 80-acre hayfield
He drove parallel to the advancing fire, plowing a wide strip of bare soil to create a firebreak & stop the flames from spreading further.
i think people underestimate how much of a luxury it is to genuinely like your normal day. not the holiday, not the birthday, not the reservation. literally wednesday.
People say:
"I wish one middle-class income could support an entire family like it did in the 1950s."
Okay. Then take the entire 1950s package—not just the parts you romanticize.
• No Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, or endless subscriptions
• One small TV with 3 channels, if you're lucky
• One basic car for the whole family
• No yearly vacations or cheap flights across the country
• No smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, or internet
• Every meal cooked at home from scratch
• Kids sharing bedrooms
• A house under 1,000 sq. ft. for a family of 4–6
• One bathroom for everyone
• Little to no air conditioning in many places
• Clothes repaired, reused, and handed down
• Eating at restaurants was an occasional luxury, not a weekly habit
The comparison isn't just income.
The average household today consumes far more space, technology, entertainment, travel, convenience, and services than the average household did 70 years ago.
That doesn't mean housing, healthcare, and education aren't more expensive today—they are.
But when people compare lifestyles across generations, they often compare a 1950s income to a 2020s standard of living.
Those aren't the same thing.
If you want the economics of the 1950s, you have to accept the lifestyle of the 1950s too.
Hear me out.
I’m not saying people should be on their phones while driving. It’s not safe and it’s illegal.
But they’ll mount an iPad to your dash, and you have to flip through 10 settings just to adjust the A/C. What sense does that make?
Y’all be safe out there. 😅
@Deancain I know they say actors shouldn’t give their political opinions … but when it’s common sense and agrees with mine I have no problem with it 😜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The fact that you can’t check into a hotel until 4pm when the day is basically over but have to check out by 10am the next morning should honestly be illegal.
