This gives me a boner?

This is a nice thought actually. But in the 1950's US people could get sick and have real problems too, I bet not everyone was living the dream.

And who knows man I know this wont be politically correct but maybe with a third world war there will come a golden age like that in some places too, maybe in europe.

The 50s weren't all that great, given its massive amount of conformism (not to mention stuff like Jim Crow and the FBI's shenanigans). The 90s were the best time to be an American IMO, and >2016 ain't that bad.

>2016 ain't that bad.

Hm, let's see. The world economy is still fucked, with another financial crisis already on the way. Global warming is ruining pretty much the entire planet, and is partially responsible for people migrating to Europe by the millions.
Corporations hold more power than ever, they are able to influence - buy out more like - any politician, change existing laws, introduce new ones, and basically do anything in order to find themselves in a favorable position. Pollution is at an all time high, our oceans are literally filled with trash and plastic, which is now getting into the ecosystem itself, which will very soon affect us continentals as well.

Monsanto and its buddies are pouring Roundup into the ground like there's no tomorrow, autism, gluten allergy, Crohn's disease are sharply on the rise (even though most of these things were very rare in the previous decades) and there's a very real connection between them and the use of Roundup, chemicals, preservatives, and the destruction of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Also, everyone is being spied upon by either the NSA, Google, or both, and maybe your local flavor of government, such as in Russia. I'm not even going to say more, because I could write a whole book about everything that is wrong with the world today.

Yeah, 2016 ain't that bad.

In the 1950s, the entire world outside of the US was so fucking poor that the US unironically accounted for 50% of the world's GDP despite having like 5% of its population. Not to mention that with the US taxes in the 1950s were through the roof, welfare didn't really exist (good luck if you were poor lol), your entire life could be ruined if somebody accused you of being a communist, and the first few years of that decade were spent fighting the Korean War (which had more than 10 times as many US casualties as Iraq and Afghanistan put together).

What if I told you, that 90% of wealth today is owned by 10% of the population?
