You could raise a family and own a home off a factory income. Literally any investment bought at any time back then has >50x'd by now. Any home bought in a major city other than detroit in the 1950s would have 10x'd by 2000.

Everyone was white and the women cooked and cleaned. It was the easiest society of all time.

All kinds of shit. In general the heroic efforts of generations of European men culminated in a disastrous collapse followed swiftly by a meteoric rise that lifted the entire world to new heights, but all that wealth and power was earned with blood and pain, and when following generations inherited it easily it turned to decadence and solipsism.

It was kiked way before that, it only seems based compared to now. While there were many opportunities economically the 50s started to delete many traditional values the west desperately lacks today.

One of my elderly relatives was telling me, back around 2006, about how sorry he felt for kids even then. In the 1960s and 1970s, if he lost a job, he could have another a day or two later. Didn't matter if he had experience in the new field, he tried a bunch of different things. All any employer was looking for was a good work attitude and the ability to learn. All those "Horatio Alger" novels were pretty much real life -- start out in the mail room, get promoted to clerk, learn the industry, move up into management, end up as CEO.

Nowadays unless you have a bachelor's in Mail Room Technology and five years of experience, they won't look at you for an entry-level position in a mail room. Unless of course you're a disabled black lesbian midget, or related to someone in management.

Just to add my own experience, I got into computers in the 1980s. All I needed to do was tell someone I knew how to program and I'd get offered work.

By the late 1990s, all this "certification" crap had gotten memed into existence. Oh, you don't have your A+ and your MCSD and your Oracle whatever? Who cares if you've been doing this shit for two decades, you're unhireable. Then came the H-1B invasion and offshoring. Nowadays employers demand not only all the certs and a lack of a U.S. passport (because they prefer H-1B's since they can't change jobs easily), they also want to see a "portfolio" of open source shitwork and a pile of commits on GitHub.

I switched to patent law. At least in patent law, employers see experience and they say "oh good, someone who knows what he's doing." Point them at a few issued patents you've drafted and gotten through the system, or better yet some of the more uncommon work like reexams, and they love you long time.
