It's because they are true depictions of reality that are impossible to debate or debunk. Most old folks refuse to admit it, but yes they absolutely DID have it easier when it came to making a living. The currency had far more purchasing power making expenses far cheaper, gas was once $1.29 per gallon, you could fill up a full grocery cart spending $100 with a weeks worth of better quality foods. Average middle class house was $25K to $30K. Jobs were plentiful and abundant, the trade paid good. Mother fucking dirty oil drillers could pay off their entire mortgage in 8 years and retire after 20 years with the money they made. Still have money to raise a family. Older, often senile, folks have no clue how good they had it when they were younger. Plus no social media, you partied with friends, there was community and memories shared!
