and practices can change rapidly

and they will

I mean other than ww2

you had much more freedom

the american dream was strong then

well, it certainly wouldn't be my dream to be a coal miner in 1902, working 12-14 hours a day, with no time to see my family, whom I could barely afford to buy food for and keep a roof over their heads

and then die at an early age, due to my profession

It is pretty wild to contemplate how much a mere 100 years has changed life on this planet.

you could make lots of money working coal and then switch careers

also if it was 1920 you probably wouldn't be military age by ww2

women also were much more faithful back then

that's becuase social media didn't exist

and sexting

@Queen Of Conspiracy I saw your message in the infowars channel. Come over here, instead.

after working coal for a short amount of time you could open a general store

and you'd be fine

I don't think that would be any easier than opening up a general store today.

It would be much easier

I'm not sure what you base that on.

the amount of regulations and taxes businesses face today

also the cost of property

and goods

it's all relative

no its really not

I don't follow your logic.

if you are saying that regulations, taxes, and other modern yokes around people's necks in 2020 are far more than they were back in 1920, then I would agree.

But if you are saying that living life, buying property, supporting your family, starting a business (and the likes) were easier in 1920, then I would not agree on whole. Perhaps a few intricacies were easier 100 years ago, but you also don't die from a cold anymore.

People still had immune systems back then they didn't just "die from a cold"

honestly going to the dr'

dr's office in 2020 with a cold is no different than in the 20's

there is no cure for the common cold

I think one of the only major health differences would be dental

they still had antibiotics in the 20's

which is for bacteria not viruses anyway

also surgery would be more sketchy back then

but the conversation was about business not medical advances

a lot of prescription meds now actually kill you faster as well as chemo therapy

I will give you that one. Please replace my word _cold_ with pneumonia or the flu.

bad word choice

but yes, the original convo was about business

I mean sure there were many things that were bad about that era of time
