Forget the '90s for a moment, think of how different in just 2010 America was from how it is now. We were whiter, fag marriage wasn't the law of the land, no Obamacare (yet), no infinityjeets, and you had actual free speech on emerging social media. Everything, especially homes, were also much cheaper in the aftermath of the '08 economic collapse. We were battered economically but people held out hope for some semblance of the American dream in an anemic recovery. Is it the ideal vision of America we should return to? Hell no. Absolutely not. But it's worth reflecting on how different in just 2010, within the blink of an eye historically, things were. We were basically an entirely different country just 16 years ago.
