Yep. The Jetsons were my measuring stick.
What happened to the 3 day work week & prosperity for all?
Now I remember, the greedy, corrupt bastards which run the country stole it.
Cartoon theory: from Jetsons meet the Flintsones tv movie says the Jetsons live in the sky because the earth has been ravaged. The Flintstones come after the Jetsons once that society dies out and people start a new on the recovering earth this time with genetically engineered animals that work and talk, and conveniences and old time clothing like ties etc. Seems after the Jetsons visited the only way Elway's time machine worked was to go back in time.
I grew up in the '60s and '70s, and I thought the same way. How disappointing to see how 2019 really is.
