I am a Gen Xer as well. I was 5 when I saw the movie Kramer vs Kramer. That movie was a prophecy. Its forgotten today. But it showed what the future would be. Divorce, women finding themselves and living their "best lives", hookup culture, and eventually the destruction of the father son dynamic in America. The late 70s and early 80s wasnt as good as you remember. Not to mention, threat of nuclear war, acid rain, 18% inflation. Its always interesting how that sweet poison of nostalgia sweeps away much of the bad stuff.

Embrace the suck. Through enduring we win. What do we win? Another day to embrace the suck. Eventually though you see the truth. Life isnt about yourself. Its about preparing the way for those who come after us. Doesnt even have to be about your kids. It could be your siblings kids or cousins, or even the community as a whole. Woe to those who have no one to come after them. For they are truly lost and without purpose.

@Mugwortcircle Which was my point. The issue once seen, was quickly resolved. At the time it seemed a catastrophe. And yet today, as you say, bs. Much of the issues of today are the same.

@peterbelanger4094 Drug war didnt start in the 80s, it started in the 1920 with prohibition. Reefer madness was made in 1936.
