was it really so pleasant? inflation was very high, medical treatments were not so great, entertainment was expensive, most jobs still did not pay much, hours were long. Someone with a tech job probably earns more money on an inflation-adjusted basis and has a much nicer standard of living compared to someone living in the 60s

Inflation was not high in 1945-1970. It was high after 1970.
