50s+happy+days+discussion

The 50s were boss. The economy thrived. **By 1952, the United States was supplying 65% of the world's manufactured goods.

But one in five Americans lived in poverty, and most of them were minorities in the inner city! NOT FAIR!!!!

But more families joined the middle class. More and more people were moving to the suburbs. They were radioactive!!!!!

Speaking of RADIOACTIVE, what about the fear of nuclear weapons from Russia?! Duck and cover...not fun.

Don't rattle your cage! Did Russia ever use those nuclear weapons on us? no. we were prepared. Duck and cover!

But they could have because of Sputnik!! So just go DDT!!!!!!!!!

What, and look like you? We were also getting ahead in our space program. There were huge technological advances. Such as ****air conditioners, dishwashers, and especially televisions.

But what about the 10s of 1,000s of Americans dying over seas!! The Korean War is taking our friend's and family's lives, and we don't even know much about the war, you nerds!

Gosh you wet rag. There were plenty of advances in medical treatment. ****Doctors are beginning to use antibiotics more often in the treatment of disease ****.**

Too bad not everyone has access to all this new oppurtunity because of segregation. We must integrate! So cool it punks or I will give you a knuckle sandwich right in the jaw!

You are just bad news.

And you are a NOSEBLEED NERD! Later alligator!
