2005-2007; basically post-Iraq war and pre-Recession. We has a perceived good economy, the golden age of the internet, no social media, retail hasn’t been murdered yet, and we had most all of the other modern technology like cell phones/MP3 players/DVR/etc. And internet porn

This is true, however we’re getting a lot of takeout from neighborhood shops to hopefully keep their doors open.

I had to grill this chick I was like yo I paid a lawyer a couple weeks ago...did he refund the shit?
90% tax rates and the strongest middle class in American history.
Granted it still wasn't so good for Blacks, but still...
Except it was Ike who sent the Federal troops into Little Rock Central HS when the Democratic governor of Arkansas refused to educate black children.
Ike wasn't necessarily the best president, he just governed during the best time. Combine FDR's new deal framework with the post war economic boom and you have a golden age.
correlation =/= causation.
Fuck that.
The industrialization of America for WWII is what created the Golden Age, not any fucking New Deal.
Disagree. The economy during the war was terrible. The golden age didn’t start until around 1950.
Agree is wasn’t the disastrous New Deal. What a crock that was
It was such a crock that Roosevelt was re-elected 3 times with that as his signature policy accomplishment. Makes sense.
People being stupid doesn't prove the policy was good. If a president gave everyone a million dollars (Like Bloomberg could) and was elected 5 times does this mean it was a good policy? No. It means people are like hamsters and will keep taking hits off the sugar water as long as they can
Enacting policy that people who elected you to represent them actually like? What a travesty....

Best era of Husky football.
Best era of rap music.
Post Cold War, Pre 9/11.
Best era of the NBA.
Baseball was big.
The NFL was just another sport, it wasn’t omnipresent.
Star Wars wasn’t ruined until the very end.
If the weed was legal and the beer was better it’d be perfect.
