No, I think the premise of the joke is bad. Its this “Things used to be better” attitude which is completely wrong. It’s guided by weird nostalgia and old movies, that show idealized rich white people.
This is the whole basis MAGA runs on. A bunch of misinformation based on a few cherry picked stats.
“One salary to support a family of 4” (to keep women in the kitchen) is still possible for well educated upper middle-class people, you just have to do the appropriate cuts to lifestyle.
“One million was actually a lot of money.” Yea, that’s how inflation works. Did you not take economics in highschool and learned why that isn’t a bad thing?
Nope, I was definitely right. You are intentionally interpreting a joke in the most unfavourable way possible to give yourself the opportunity to feel good at someone else’s expense.
