There is a whole website for this, but it's more the 1960's that were golden. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

  That’s just a bunch of [highly motivated] financial metrics. I was hoping someone might tell me some real-world benefits like “I used to be able to do X, now I can only do Y”. Of course I don’t expect to hear much because as far as I can tell, 2020s USA is better than 1970s USA in every way I can think of.

    You can’t think of healthcare costs?

      Yeah that sucks, but there are many, many more treatments available today than in 1970, so I’d almost certainly prefer to pay 6x the cost of 1970s healthcare to get 2020s-quality treatment.
