because the average redditor is a suicidal autist 17 year old tranny who isn't old enough to remember even the tail end of it. i grew up in the fuckin 90s, well after the time period this person was referring to, and even i remember it was like this. hardly anybody's mother had to work. i lived in a middle class neighborhood in southern ca and a lot of my neighbors were school teachers for the local district, living in 2,500+ square foot homes that they actually owned, with a couple kids, a couples cars in the garage, took vacations, etc. this was still somewhat of a reality just 30ish years ago.
