George Jetson had an 17 minute work day with 2 hours a week and could afford a house, a hover car, a robot maid, enough money for his wife to spend the day shopping on top of household needs, enough extra to take care of a dog, and STILL enough leftover to allow elroy to be involved in extracurricular activities and to take the family on a vacation to the moon.
I worked two jobs at 50-60 hours a week and could only afford to rent a 1 bed apartment with almost nothing left over.
I wish I had came of age in that period of post war optimism that inspired that cartoon.
Edit: the Jetson’s takes place in the year 2062, we still have ~38 years or so to ensure our children can achieve that
So we go back to the future and we stop Biff from stealing the time machine!
We can’t, because if we travel into the future from this point in time…it will be the future of this reality…in which Biff is corrupt and powerful and married to your mother, and in which this has happened to me!
No. Our only chance to repair the present is in the past at the point where the time line skewed into this tangent!
We’re in the timeline where Biff became president
Excuse me, Biff BECAME President.
Good. Very good President. Some even say the best President ever.
Capitalism there that was an easy answer.
Working as expected*
