    I mean, this is how far our standard of living has fallen in the US.

    Like, back in the 80’s and 90’s it was pretty normal for a family to subsist on a single income, in a reasonably nice house, with all of their necessities taken care of. It was so normal that even a brainless loser like Homer could do it.

    Also because back then, kinda fat = automatic loser

    He’s not? There’s literally an episode about how Homer is so lucky in life that he drives a man insane.
