What made the 1920s great? Was it an inflated stock market? Was it the emergence of automobiles and the spread of electronic technologies, cinema and radio? Was it a world that began to break free of cultural moral shackles while repudiating prohibition laws in the United States? Probably all of that.

The 2020s have been utterly disappointing. Coming one hundred years after a decade that still enraptures us, I can only hope that the next six years of the decade can be significantly more interesting and memorable.

The 2020s… well we’ve lived through cancel culture and high inflation and viciously polarized politics. I’m a bit sad that my kids are growing up in this era because it’s a lot harder than it should be.

We can read ‘The Sun Also Rises’ or ‘The Great Gatsby’ and imagine living in that nostalgic time. But why continue to let the modern era be a complete disappointment?

With 2024 coming it’s time to have our own Roaring 20s. No more cancel culture. No more BS. Live and be free.
