Sixties & Seventies

Some may say this is such a 60's design proposal but it forsaw a future of colour, texture and stylish utility which was never realised and now we have such bland, 'safe' style to our houses, its like we don't want to 'offend' anyone let alone express ourselves. I think it's an example of political correctness which has now pervaded our lives. The late 50's to early 70's promised the future while giving us a glimpse. The 80's/90's lost sight of the future. We now have politicians too busy looking after their arses (asses US) to consider our futures. Dare I say Trump and Putin represent the worst of them. Oooh this got spiteful quick didn't it!

63M, asking where DID the future go?
You forgot to include Turdeau in the worst of them.
 
Trudeau? We could name many shithead politicians but where would it get us? We would much prefer the chance to name pollies we like!
I didn’t get the impression that the post I replied to was referring to Trump and Putin in terms of endearment.
 
Hard to imagine a time when smoking was socially acceptable.
Smoking used to be prescribed by doctors for a lot of people with anxiety or a lot of other issues.

You can actually look up the percentages of smokers by population through the years. After the government started requiring warnings on the packages, it has been gradually decreasing.
