Ronald Reagan happened
Cable TV started growing as did Satellite TV
The baby boomers started coming of age
We started piling up mountains of debt government, commercial and consumer
As a society we started to party, it hasn’t stopped since, people are so stupid rich that they support several multi billion dollar corporations which do nothing but ferry food someone else makes to your grubby little paws. To add insult to injury they charge service fees, and markup menu items and on top of all that you have to tip the driver. you spend 2x the cost of the food to get it delivered half cold and soggy.
This is all normal and celebrated even, and then we wonder why everyone is overweight

- rbanffy 3y agoGP is not completely off. The middle class was squeezed after the Reagan administration and inequality soared. If you have two parents working multiple jobs to make ends meet, you end up consuming more processed foods (that save time and money) and having a less healthy diet.
