Best days except for widows and their children. Gov has to get smarter than wars to boost the economy.
It was good times till politicians ruined it again.
All these kids grew up on the fifties made to believe things will be as good for them but got the rug pulled under them, buried in debt and rising prices. Most sons couldn’t just go where their dad worked even if they wanted to while most women learned they can’t stay home baking cookies, making cloths and raising their kids anymore. Some parents don’t even really know their kids anymore.
More people than you think smoked pot. One of my grandmas knew them during the early days 20s-30s and on. As time went on could see why she was trying to keep me away from actors even politics.
They had parties where it was brought out. She said she was R Reagan smoking it. She saw him at a party in Chicago.
Later I asked a patient who worked for him if he smoked pot. She said yeah after dinner with other politicians they’d bring bowls of it out. I only mentioned it after he was gone. Dont think his wife did though.
One thing about pot though, it’s mild doesn’t kill you, less you drive while just taking it. It helps a whole lot of health issues and PTSD due to calming effect it can have. Regan was the only one who knew that that wanted to legalize it. The others were hypocrites who may have smoked it but were against it for everyone else. I didn’t want it but didn’t begrudge those who did. I could smell pot on college kids.
Too bad those times are no longer here but like hearing about what we missed lol
