      I wish, started from the middle and now we are here.

      Maybe if I was around for some of the wild times and not just in highschool for 9/11 (odd thing for a Canadian kid to contextualize, might have been when I took an interest in geopolitical issues). I mean pog was kinda neat, but nothing like what I hear of the coke fuled times before.

        So we are more or less the same age. I would say we had a pretty good childhood and early teens, it was by the time we reached university that shit got worse. In a way, yes, we didn’t get to enjoy the cheap housing and easy job market when we reached adulthood but the generation after didn’t even get to enjoy the childhood part.

          Yeah, childhood in general is more dependent on your personal family situation. Late teens and beyond (where you have the autonomy) is the part that matters. I wonder if it was better to have seen the time before (even if just as a child or on tv) or like the younger people not even know about the days where the Simpsons where meant to be poor.
