The post-war period was the only time in human history where a person could get rich just through their day job. You could have one parent be a teacher and the other a mechanic and that provided enough security that their kid could afford a guitar and take a chance at being a musician.
And the thing that’s so crazy is that “post-war period” describes a time when the country had just spent 6 years getting the shit bombed out of it and expending all its resources into sending troops abroad. If people can rebuild a country and still be able to support a whole family on a single salary, why can’t we do the same in a country that’s already had that work put in?
