Yeah, and I might live 20 more years and watch this unfold... while not
being able to afford health insurance while living in a cardboard
box.....
Now lets walk down memory lane. I think I must have been 7 or 8 when we
went to burger king. I think a bag of fries was 15 cents. Of course a
house payment was $50.00 and gas was probably 10 cents a gallon.

motors.....

I remember the 80's. I was poor all the way through. I remember the
17% to 19% mortgages. It was a rough time...... But health care was
cheap. I went to the ER in 1980 and received 3 stitches and the total
bill was $35. I was making about $4.70/hr and gas was $0.85/gal.
Kids today (so-called millennials) will remember fondly the “good ol’
days” of their high-school years (2010-2019) when they could get a
burger for only $10; and they had to put this stuff called “gasoline”
into their car to make it go. These long-obsolete cars only got them
20-30 miles per gallon and cost $4 or so — working out to $0.15 per
mile, give or take.
In 30 years (2045), just about everything including transportation
will be powered by electricity generated primarily from renewable
sources for pennies per megawatt hour.
At that point, most of the Baby Boomers will have died off and our
healthcare system will have imploded and transformed into more of a
self-directed system based more on health than sickness. (Hey, we can
always hope!)
