Idk. Both have problems. 1950s feels like less murder compared to 2026. But maybe I'm just being nostalgic for diners and American homeownership.

It's the era where the CIA was operating within US borders, torturing and experimenting on US citizens. Women couldn't have bank accounts. Everything had lead in it. Workers were basically huffing asbestos.

I could go on, but you get the idea. I'm sure it was nice for a few people, but the average American was worse off than you or I today.
