Back in the days there were Gilded 1920s, Great Gatsby is about these times. People too were all hype over these times. That was truly over the top cool era with never before seen shit, like skyscrapers. Crysler Building and Empire State Building are cool even by modern standards and they are richly decorated.
Then there was a Great Depression Era of the 1930s, People jumped out of windows unable to live on as Stock Market crashed and economy almost completely disappear into shit.
Then there was WW II, Holocoast. Axis killed millions in gas chambers and tried to conquer the world. Allies went to war and they ended up killing each other. Excluding China 80 Million died of it all.

Then things recovered and boomers enjoyed their 60s with Beatles and shit. 50s were also not too bad. 50s housewife is highly praised nowadays. (US verison)
Then was depression again in 70s with fiel crisis and other mess.
Then went Reagan of the 80s, he took Cold War into overdrive and won it Contras in Nicaragua, Panama Canal War, Caribbean islands coups. Also in 80s USSR invaded Afghanistan and lost lost of people there.
Spring of Nations and collapse of USSR begun a new are of peace and development. Computers and internet grew and gradually became mainstream. We got out 90s and 2000s. 90s is a mixed bag but everyone loves 2000s much like they loved it in 1920s and 2960s
Then Financial Crisis Similar to Great Depression happened in 2008 because of that 2010s were like 1930s and 1970s
That too gradually evolves into a first death by COVID who in out era plays the same role as Nazi death camps. Putin plays a role of Axis invaders.
This death era of 2020s is just like WW II in 40s and Reagan's Cold War escalation in 80s
After that in 2030s it will be something like 50s and 90s again.
Then 2040s will be like 2000s.
This is the era where COVID or other such even will pay the Grim Reaper his due and he will leave us to prosper for next 20 or so years before he will demand fresh sacrifices.
World really works just like Aztec religion. You need to make human sacrifices to delay end of the world. This time we manage to automate this process by inventing COVID.
May be sometime when people will be more enlightened to accept that death is inevitable and necessary because there is finite resources on earth and once the limit is reached either you need to cut spending or population.
I by one prefer to cut boomer population to keep my spending habits intact.
However in future we really need to limit birth rates.
It is much more humane when extra babies are simply not born rather than just kill them or someone else when next limit is reached.
