Yeah, all great, now ask people how was life in the 80s and 90s and ask them if they prefer now or them.

I was alive in the 80s and 90s. I prefer now. I'm nostalgic for those times but I don't prefer them.

No worry of climate collapse, normal seasons, no massive heatwaves, no Trump, no Tiktok, no corporate dystopia, no Bezos, no Musk... yeah, sure, horrible times those were.
