America in the 40s/50s you could get by hopping between flophouse after flophouse, drinking all the time and working in factories or as a clerk.

What a time it must have been to be alive, I finally get all the nostalgia.

It says something about the period that you could live like that and not end up on the streets or dead.
It also says something about how bad things are today that niegas would rather live in a roach infested rathole with crappy amenities than as a Zoomer today.
I still maintain that the 60s were the best decade to live in, ever.

You can still do that today. That's basically what I've been doing the last 5 years all over the country.

In the modern day this is just called being homeless, anon. Plenty of people have jobs and are alcoholic and live in homeless shelters.

Yeah boomers were not only largely irresponsible venomous shitheads as youths and later became hyper-consumerist extractive drones who are responsible for gutting the critical industrial base of their nation to marginally increase their profit margin by pennies through exploiting offshore child labor and undercutting blue collar American skilled labor, but they were primarily reacting to the climate of extreme fear after western civilization ripped itself apart during the world wars and mutually assured destruction from the threat of nuclear weapons.

Of course, you can't say that about all of them. And they had plenty of help along the way from special interest groups, domestic intelligence agencies, and foreign agents.
