Interesting to see glimpses of life in the USA back in 1969. See groceries rung up by a clerk who has to read the price on the product. See a man pay bills by check!
Beth Kirk......watch the grocery clerk make a lot of mistakes and you ended up paying more than you should because you couldn't understand the receipt.
The good old days. If you were born in America in the 1940s you had 93% chance to do things better than your parents. If you were born in 1990s you're down to a 50/50 chance.
Heaven forbid we invent things, and those things eventually wear out! Or sometimes are defective--as if this only happens in America. And heaven forbid we give to charity! 7:21 At 11:24, they gave the impression that George Washington himself (on the dollar bill) was glaring at us with evil intent. I halfway expected laser bolts to come out his eyes. About the only thing I can agree with is that Madison Ave. oversells everything to us, and encourages commercializing everything, even holy days.
I was 16 then. Why isn’t this in color? We *did* have color then. Just FYI 👍🏻 Seriously, the good old days. My mom complained that she spent $35 for weekly groceries. Oh, and the 2 old people in the horseless carriage are from another time continuum.
$50 a month for groceries....with bidenflation I spend easily $70 a WEEK on groceries and I live alone. Crazy how times have changed. The Camaro was a car that the regular Joe could fix. Not today. It's computers an codes and $1000 before you know it.
Yes, I was startled but, vindicated to see this in a film so very old. If this was made in the 50’s it’s around 70 years old give or take. There have always been decent ppl who give a darn about what is happening to the planet. It isn’t some new “movement” by the left as they screeched in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s just consideration of something other than YOU. Point blank. The world existed before YOU! Let’s add that to the Bible conservatives cling to shall we? B.C. A.D. and B.Y. is now Before You. bc you’re not that special. Just do your part lazy lazy lazy persons. You’re special and unique if you don’t do what everyone else is; trashing the world which is violently sick at this point.

$35 is almost what minimum wage would be if it kept up with inflation.
