his is correct. of course we all would like to be kids where we didn't have to work, parents bought us stuff, and we didn't have to worry about the heat working or the grocery bill. a bad day was losing a $5 bill somewhere or getting assigned a 3-page social studies paper. that doesn't mean shitty things weren't happening all around us, we were just ignorant of them and didn't have 24/7 endless "news" (most of it through some biased source) showing us the horrors of the world trying to keep us anxious so we'd follow them like sheep
