I found a picture of an average male in the 1950s

That house looks smaller than most middle class houses I see today

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "If ya ain't Dutch, ya ain't much."

He probably kicked some Jerry ass during WW2, something a sissyboi like jamin could never manage. That's why that man has the house and the hot wife. He's a winner. The opposite of jamin.

Actually, jamin admires the "winner", and despises the fact that the political left is destroying the "winners". Welcome to the 21st century fascist/socialist hybrid society... there are no more "winners". And the ones that think they're "winning", are simply pawns. You'll find out soon enough.

I like the pavement saving driveway. I wonder if that's the origin of the '"landing strip"?

They are technically called ribbon driveways and they absorb rainwater and lighten the impact of runoff on the sewer system..

When driveways were dirt or gravel cars created ruts in the mud so paving thin tracks for the tires was a low cost option to avoid the rutting.

Long driveways shortened as lot size shrank and driveways evolved in to parking spaces for the second car in front of the house (and because garage into more living space upgrades became popular eliminating inside the garage parking) they helped avoid the unsightly black marks left by automotive fluids leaking from the engine and undercarriage.

I recently saw something that said the average house size was 1200 square feet in 1973 and 2200 today. I assume that in the 50's it was even less.

Wow, Jamin. Very liberal sounding post here lamenting over evil, capitalist money lenders. Good for you, buddy.

Not liberal at all. Americans had more freedom back in the 50s.

Ted Williams was drafted into the Army and was re-activated in the Korean War.

Can you really see Barry Bonds having that happen?

Drinking and driving was a societal norm in the 50s.

"Not liberal at all. Americans had more freedom back in the 50s."

Do tell?

It's called deregulation of the financial sector.

Republicans (and democrats to some extent) totally brainwashed the american public into thinking deregulation = freedom for them when really it just = transfer of $$ into corporation pockets.

People are finally waking up decades later when they see the results of this.

FDR new deal - look it up.

Btw, I like Bernie... but I know better than to fall into the tax trap. And yes, I'm much smarter than you.

Context for those who failed history: uber liberal FDR passed something called "The New Deal" which resulted in economic boom times. Now, Bernie Sanders is proposing similar measures Jamin is longing for "New Deal" type results. I feel like a proud dad.

Smarter? Maybe. I doubt it though. 34 ACT composite, 1480 SAT (before the writing section was ever added). By any measurable statistic, I am smarter than at least 999/1000. Should you believe me? I wouldn't if I were you, but I am being honest.

That was a dumb reply.

Dumb? I think not. Did you miss the part about all measurable intelligence statistics? I am smart. I like bernie. This clearly shows that smart people like bernie and everyone else likes Trump/Hillary

I got a 35/2300 and I support Cruz. Quit making false assumptions.
