Re:Would 1950s Living Standards Save Us? by Nomentatus on Friday June 17, 2022 @03:58PM (#31783452)
I'd go back in a moment, if we were able to recreate the actual standard of living - with vegetables (and meat) that was vastly more nutritious and hella tasty. Fresh Jersey milk from unmodified cows not fed hormones delivered to your door every morning. Which we could, perhaps, in fact do, agribusiness notwithstanding. But note that what you can buy as a "heritage tomato" in a store today, isn't. It's the same styrofoam with a different shape. I'm 65, "I wuz there, Charlie" to use the old phrase from a 1920s radio show. So I'm not kidding about being willing to go back. The politics were horrible, that part I don't want to see again, but the living standards, sure.
